Two warranties apply on Noe Valley the project: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Put simply, itemised scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Noe Valley job. It is the same story on most Noe Valley streets. Inspect the CSLB licence number in advance of any Noe Valley contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current.
