As a rule, drone access on steep or fragile Hayes Valley roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. This holds across San Francisco County. Photographs with dates are part of every Hayes Valley inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
