We photograph every elevation on a Bayview project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Drone access on steep or fragile Bayview roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. It is the same story on most Bayview streets. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Bayview tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Put simply, a Bayview roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.
Beware the Bayview estimate that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Put simply, check that the Bayview crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. A Bayview roofer who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same project as the one who will. It is the same story on most Bayview streets.
