Marina District roofing work in Marina District, San Francisco County — inspection, repair, replacement and coatings, quoted in writing and permitted where the work requires it.

1Hiring Well in Marina District

The Marina District contractor who tells you a make good will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. On most jobs, local experience matters in Marina District because the failure modes here are heat, wind load and drainage rather than snow and ice. As a rule, manufacturer certification matters on Marina District jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. A good Marina District roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is. On most jobs, written scope, written price and a itemised warranty are the minimum on any Marina District job.

Permit fees in Marina District are a small part of the project and a large part of what protects the property owner at resale. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Inspection scheduling in Marina District adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. Commercial work in Marina District as a rule involves more review than residential and a longer lead time.

2Pricing a Marina District Roof Honestly

Repair makes sense on a Marina District roof with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Marina District roof more than the headline figure does. Put simply, a Marina District estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. Realistically, seasonal demand in Marina District affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both. In practice, deck replacement on a Marina District job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.

Flashings at the chimney on an older Marina District house in most cases need attention well before the covering does. Two visits a year keeps a Marina District roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and look over the flashings once past the earliest heavy storm. Trimming back branches over a Marina District roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life.

3Keeping a Marina District Roof in Service

Moss on a shaded Marina District slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, trimming back branches over a Marina District roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. This holds across San Francisco County. Two visits a year keeps a Marina District roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and check the flashings following the first heavy storm. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. Checking the attic once past the first heavy rainfall in Marina District finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. Loose ridge caps on a Marina District roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. As a rule, most Marina District roof coverings that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.

Photographs with dates are part of every Marina District inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Drone access on steep or fragile Marina District roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. It is the same story on most Marina District streets. As a rule, damp readings matter on Marina District low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.

4What a Marina District Inspection Covers

Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Marina District roof has been maintained. In practice, moisture readings matter on Marina District low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Realistically, photographs with dates are part of every Marina District inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Marina District roofs, since the sheathing commonly fails before the shingle does. Infrared scanning on a Marina District commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. This holds across San Francisco County.

Put simply, phasing a large Marina District building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole job at once. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Cheap Marina District quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Realistically, financing makes sense on a Marina District roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of working life left.

5Housing Stock and Roof Types in Marina District

Multi-unit buildings in Marina District generally need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off patch. Put simply, additions and conversions are common in Marina District, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. San Francisco County is no different. Most roofs in Marina District fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Many Marina District properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. As a rule, where Marina District buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. San Francisco County is no different.

Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Marina District roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. This holds across San Francisco County. Most Marina District claims that give out do so because the harm was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. Policies covering Marina District properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.

6Storm Damage Claims in Marina District

Put simply, code upgrade cover decides whether a Marina District claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Marina District claim where the deterioration is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. Matching provisions in a policy matter on Marina District tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. San Francisco County is no different. Partial claims on a Marina District roof covering are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. Wind and storm damage on a Marina District roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Insurance work in Marina District turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one.

Financing makes sense on a Marina District roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Seasonal demand in Marina District affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. A Marina District roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information.

7Material Options for Marina District Roofs

Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Marina District even where code does not require them. This holds across San Francisco County. Tile is widespread across Marina District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out. Realistically, metal has grown in Marina District for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Marina District low-slope roof coverings, and the choice as a rule comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. On most jobs, composition shingle is the most common covering in Marina District and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the first to show UV damage. It is the same story on most Marina District streets.

Realistically, flashing details matter more on a Marina District roof than the covering choice, because salt finds the joint before it finds the field. Shaded north slopes in Marina District hold damp well past sunrise, which is why moss shows up there earliest and nowhere else. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, ponding on a Marina District low-slope roof dries slowly in marine air, which gives the membrane a harder working life than the wet weather total suggests.

8Working to Code in Marina District

Reroofing over existing layers in Marina District is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. Fire-zone properties around Marina District carry assembly requirements that the permit will inspect against. On most jobs, historic districts near Marina District may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming ahead of materials are ordered. Work in Marina District is inspected as well as permitted — the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. In practice, the permit record for a Marina District property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof covering was done properly. Realistically, inspection scheduling in Marina District adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. San Francisco County is no different.

Onshore wind carries salt several blocks inland here, so Marina District roofs call for galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock. Fog drip in Marina District delivers more moisture than the rain gauge suggests, and it arrives nightly rather than in storms. Realistically, the temperature swing in Marina District is narrow but the humidity is not, and sustained damp is harder on underlayment than heat alone.

9The Conditions a Marina District Roof Works Against

Ponding on a Marina District low-slope roof covering dries slowly in marine air, which gives the membrane a harder life than the rain total suggests. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, gutters on Marina District properties corrode from the inside, and the earliest sign is usually staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole. It is the same story on most Marina District streets. Realistically, vents and caps corrode faster than the roof in Marina District, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. Any exposed metal on a Marina District roof wants a coating or a sacrificial finish, not bare galvanised left to weather. Put simply, roofs near the water in Marina District corrode from the fixings outward. The shingle can look intact while the nails holding it have lost half their section.

Photographs taken before any tarping on a Marina District property are the nearly all valuable evidence in the whole claim. Wind and storm damage on a Marina District roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Marina District claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. We see it on Marina District roofs every week.

1Permits and Inspections in Marina District

Fire-zone properties around Marina District carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against. Historic districts near Marina District may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. In practice, solar removal and reset on a Marina District project can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Structural work on a Marina District roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection handles the paperwork for roofing work in Marina District, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the project rather than leaving it to the property owner. Permit requirements in Marina District run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. San Francisco County is no different.

Financing makes sense on a Marina District roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. Budget Marina District quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A Marina District estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. It is the same story on most Marina District streets.

2Storm Damage Claims in Marina District

We do not advise filing a Marina District claim where the damage is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. Partial claims on a Marina District roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. We work alongside the adjuster on Marina District claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. On most jobs, insurance work in Marina District turns on documentation. Damage recorded ahead of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Marina District property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Most Marina District claims that fail do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it.

A Marina District roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Phasing a large Marina District building across two seasons is commonly cheaper than financing the whole project at once. On most jobs, a Marina District quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.

3Why Marina District Roofs Age the Way They Do

Fog drip in Marina District delivers more water than the rainfall gauge suggests, and it arrives nightly rather than in storms. Fasteners are the weak point within a mile of the water in Marina District; plated nails give out while the covering above them still has years left. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, ponding on a Marina District low-slope roof dries slowly in marine air, which gives the membrane a harder life than the rainfall total suggests. Realistically, shaded north slopes in Marina District hold moisture well past sunrise, which is why moss shows up there earliest and nowhere else. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, onshore wind carries salt several blocks inland here, so Marina District roofs require galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock.

A maintenance record on a Marina District roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Marina District property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. As a rule, a Marina District roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. This holds across San Francisco County.

4Maintaining a Marina District Roof

A Marina District roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by seasons. A maintenance record on a Marina District roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Skylight seals on Marina District roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Annual inspection on a Marina District property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. As a rule, moss on a shaded Marina District slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. This holds across San Francisco County.

We photograph every elevation on a Marina District work so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. A correct Marina District inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. A Marina District roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.

5Choosing a Marina District Roofing Contractor

Put simply, a Marina District contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same work as the one who will. Realistically, ask any Marina District roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. Look over that the Marina District crew doing the the project is employed by the company quoting it. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Local experience matters in Marina District because the failure modes here are high temperatures, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. Written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Marina District job. San Francisco County is no different.

Realistically, vents and caps corrode faster than the roof in Marina District, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. Realistically, flashing details matter more on a Marina District roof than the covering choice, because salt finds the joint before it finds the field. On most jobs, shaded north slopes in Marina District hold damp well past sunrise, which is why moss shows up there first and nowhere else.

6Finding the Problem on a Marina District Roof

Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Marina District roof covering has been maintained. As a rule, a Marina District inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Marina District tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. A Marina District roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. This holds across San Francisco County. Moisture readings matter on Marina District low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. It is the same story on most Marina District streets. On most jobs, we check ventilation on every Marina District project, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated service life.

Housing stock in Marina District runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling in most cases tells you when the building went up. Put simply, solar arrays on Marina District roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. In practice, a Marina District property commonly carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.

7Marina District Roofing Budgets

Square footage is only half the cost of a Marina District roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. On most jobs, seasonal demand in Marina District affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both. This holds across San Francisco County. A Marina District estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. A Marina District roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Marina District roof more than the headline figure does. Itemised, itemised estimates let Marina District owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included.

Ask a Marina District roofer for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Ask any Marina District roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. A Marina District contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will.

8What Sits on Most Marina District Roofs

On most jobs, garage and patio roofs in Marina District are frequently lower slope than the house and call for an entirely different system. Older Marina District buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. Many Marina District properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. This holds across San Francisco County. As a rule, roof covering age across Marina District clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Second-storey additions in Marina District create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant.

Ask a Marina District contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A Marina District roofer who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same work as the one who will. Put simply, payment schedules on Marina District work should track progress, never run ahead of it.

9Choosing a Covering in Marina District

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. Metal has grown in Marina District for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. It is the same story on most Marina District streets. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Marina District low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Tile is widespread across Marina District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. This holds across San Francisco County. Realistically, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Marina District roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.

Housing stock in Marina District 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. Many Marina District properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it gives out. Additions and conversions are common in Marina District, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin.

1How We Inspect a Marina District Roof

We photograph every elevation on a Marina District job so the itemised estimate can be read against what is actually up there. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. On most jobs, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Marina District roofs, since the sheathing more often than not gives out before the shingle does. A Marina District roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Drone access on steep or fragile Marina District roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Realistically, a Marina District inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. San Francisco County is no different. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Marina District shingle roof, and it shows up years in advance of a ceiling stain does.

The Marina District roofer who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. As a rule, manufacturer certification is what decides it on Marina District jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Payment schedules on Marina District work should track progress, never run ahead of it.

2Maintaining a Marina District Roof

Trimming back branches over a Marina District roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Moss on a shaded Marina District slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, walking a Marina District tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. San Francisco County is no different. In practice, two visits a year keeps a Marina District roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and look over the flashings following the earliest heavy storm. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, clearing the Marina District gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the soonest storm would otherwise cause.

Put simply, any exposed metal on a Marina District roof covering wants a coating or a sacrificial finish, not bare galvanised left to weather. Fog drip in Marina District delivers more moisture than the rainfall gauge suggests, and it arrives nightly rather than in storms. Skylight curbs on Marina District roofs fail early; the seal takes salt, UV and movement at the same time.

3Choosing a Marina District Roofing Contractor

Local references beat national brand badges on any Marina District roofing decision. Put simply, the Marina District contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. Ask a Marina District roofer for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Realistically, two warranties apply on Marina District the job: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Beware the Marina District quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. It is the same story on most Marina District streets.

Put simply, marine layer keeps Marina District roof coverings damp into late morning most of the year, and slow-drying surfaces favour moss on the shaded slopes. Realistically, gutters on Marina District properties corrode from the inside, and the earliest sign is in most cases staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole. As a rule, shaded north slopes in Marina District hold damp well past sunrise, which is why moss shows up there first and nowhere else. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

4Understanding Your Marina District Estimate

The variable line on any Marina District quote is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. In practice, a Marina District roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a written price based on half the information. On most jobs, a Marina District quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Deck replacement on a Marina District work is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. On most jobs, cost on a Marina District roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. As a rule, written, itemised estimates let Marina District owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included.

In practice, a permitted Marina District re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Realistically, reroofing over existing layers in Marina District is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. As a rule, structural work on a Marina District roof covering triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

5Storm Damage Claims in Marina District

Realistically, we do not advise filing a Marina District claim where the harm is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. Partial claims on a Marina District roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. As a rule, a Marina District adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. This holds across San Francisco County. Realistically, matching provisions in a policy matter on Marina District tile roof coverings where the original profile is discontinued. This holds across San Francisco County. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Marina District property are the the majority of valuable evidence in the whole claim. Insurance the project in Marina District turns on documentation. Damage recorded ahead of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County.

On most jobs, shaded north slopes in Marina District hold moisture well past sunrise, which is why moss shows up there first and nowhere else.

6Roof Age Across Marina District

A Marina District property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Multi-unit buildings in Marina District in most cases require a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off make good. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Roof pitch across Marina District varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Second-storey additions in Marina District create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant. Older Marina District buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. As a rule, garage and patio roofs in Marina District are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. It is the same story on most Marina District streets.

On most jobs, material choice changes a Marina District roof budget less than most owners expect; labour and complexity dominate. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Marina District roof more than the headline figure does. Make good makes sense on a Marina District roof with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else.

7Permits and Inspections in Marina District

Permit requirements in Marina District run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs generally do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Historic districts near Marina District may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. This holds across San Francisco County.

8Roofing Materials That Suit Marina District

On most jobs, lightweight tile gives Marina District owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. Mixing materials across a Marina District roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Marina District even where code does not require them. Put simply, 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. This holds across San Francisco County. Flat and low-slope sections in Marina District need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Tile is widespread across Marina District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out.

Converted garages in Marina District are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. Original decking on older Marina District homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. It is the same story on most Marina District streets. Multi-unit buildings in Marina District as a rule require a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off make good.

9Why Marina District Roofs Age the Way They Do

Put simply, vents and caps corrode faster than the roof covering in Marina District, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. On most jobs, any exposed metal on a Marina District roof wants a coating or a sacrificial finish, not bare galvanised left to weather. Wind-driven rain in Marina District arrives sideways, so laps and headlaps do the the job that gravity does on a sheltered roof covering. The temperature swing in Marina District is narrow but the humidity is not, and sustained damp is harder on underlayment than thermal load alone. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Flashing details matter more on a Marina District roof than the covering choice, because salt finds the joint in advance of it finds the field.

Emergency tarping on a Marina District roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. On most jobs, matching provisions in a policy matter on Marina District tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. On most jobs, deductibles on Marina District policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.
