Local references beat national brand badges on any Outer Mission roofing decision. The Outer Mission contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a patch will do, is the one worth calling back. This holds across San Francisco County. Local experience is what decides it in Outer Mission because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice.
