Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, codes change, and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Financial District quote should state the assembly being installed.
3How We Inspect a Financial District Roof
Realistically, drone access on steep or fragile Financial District roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. It is the same story on most Financial District streets. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Financial District tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. San Francisco County is no different. Infrared scanning on a Financial District commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Financial District shingle roof, and it shows up years in advance of a ceiling stain does.

As a rule, the Financial District contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. San Francisco County is no different.

6Financial District Roofing and Your Policy
Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Financial District roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. Put simply, most Financial District claims that let go do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Financial District claim where the damage is clearly age, given that a declined claim stays on the record. As a rule, denied Financial District claims are often reopened successfully when correct documentation is supplied the second time. Realistically, policies covering Financial District properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.
Put simply, checking the attic after the earliest heavy rain in Financial District finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. As a rule, two visits a year keeps a Financial District roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Moss on a shaded Financial District slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
