Permit requirements in Ingleside run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs usually do not call for one; a tear-off and replacement does. San Francisco County is no different. Solar removal and reset on a Ingleside job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. A permitted Ingleside re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. We see it on Ingleside roofs every week.
Clearing the Ingleside gutters in late autumn prevents most of the harm the earliest storm would otherwise cause. We see it on Ingleside roofs every week. Walking a Ingleside tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Put simply, loose ridge caps on a Ingleside roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after.
