Financing makes sense on a Oceanview roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with seasons of life left.

Square footage is only half the cost of a Oceanview roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Deck replacement on a Oceanview project is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.

In practice, a Oceanview inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, drone access on steep or fragile Oceanview roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Realistically, we photograph every elevation on a Oceanview job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
