Worth knowing before you sign anything. Realistically, the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection handles the paperwork for roofing work in Dogpatch, and a licensed roofer pulls it as part of the work rather than leaving it to the owner. We see it on Dogpatch roofs every week. Permit fees in Dogpatch are a small part of the work and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. San Francisco County is no different. Put simply, the permit record for a Dogpatch property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. It is the same story on most Dogpatch streets. Realistically, reroofing over existing layers in Dogpatch is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. On most jobs, full replacements in Dogpatch generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the work is finished.

Tile is widespread across Dogpatch, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out. Put simply, flat and low-slope sections in Dogpatch need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Dogpatch low-slope roof coverings, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.
