Written, itemised estimates let Noe Valley owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. Budgeting a Noe Valley replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm.
Check that the Noe Valley crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. San Francisco County is no different.

A good Noe Valley roofer will talk you out of work you do not require, which is the clearest signal there is.
