Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Marina District where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Worth knowing before you sign anything. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Marina District low-slope roofs, and the choice in most cases comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.

Photographs taken before any tarping on a Marina District property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.

Written, itemised estimates let Marina District owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. Cost on a Marina District roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. Deck replacement on a Marina District project is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
