This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, check the CSLB licence number ahead of any Hayes Valley contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. That is as true in Hayes Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County.

As a rule, housing stock in Hayes Valley runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. A Hayes Valley property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. We see it on Hayes Valley roofs every week. Older Hayes Valley buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one.
