Housing stock in Bayview runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. We see it on Bayview roofs every week. Second-storey additions in Bayview create a junction between old and new roof that calls for proper flashing rather than sealant. Many Bayview properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. It is the same story on most Bayview streets.
Documented, itemised estimates let Bayview owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Bayview roof more than the headline figure does. San Francisco County is no different. A Bayview estimate that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
