Put simply, a Mission District adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Put simply, partial claims on a Mission District roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements.

Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Mission District where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. This holds across San Francisco County.

A good Mission District roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is. Payment schedules on Mission District the job should track progress, never run ahead of it. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, beware the Mission District estimate that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. We see it on Mission District roofs every week. Written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Mission District job. That is as true in Mission District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Realistically, the Mission District roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back.
We photograph every elevation on a Mission District work so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across San Francisco County. A Mission District inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. On most jobs, photographs with dates are part of every Mission District inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
