On most jobs, code upgrade cover decides whether a Parkside claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. That is as true in Parkside as anywhere in San Francisco County.
Local experience is what decides it in Parkside because the failure modes here are thermal load, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. Ask any Parkside roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off. On most jobs, beware the Parkside quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
