Ask a Mission Bay contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week. Manufacturer certification matters on Mission Bay jobs given that it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. Beware the Mission Bay quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Put simply, check that the Mission Bay crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. On most jobs, a Mission Bay roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same work as the one who will.
On most jobs, permit requirements in Mission Bay run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Permit fees in Mission Bay are a small part of the job and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. Inspection scheduling in Mission Bay adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. That is as true in Mission Bay as anywhere in San Francisco County.
