Realistically, we the project alongside the adjuster on Mission District claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.

2Finding the Problem on a Mission District Roof

We photograph every elevation on a Mission District job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there.

Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Mission District roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life.

Worth knowing before you sign anything. Realistically, dust and grit settle on Mission District roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the soonest time it rains.

As a rule, resealing penetrations on a Mission District roof every few seasons is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Walking a Mission District tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone.

That is as true in Mission District as anywhere in San Francisco County.
Partial claims on a Mission District roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements.

Silicone coatings hold up well on Mission District roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.
