Where Hayes Valley buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Second-storey additions in Hayes Valley create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant.
Two warranties apply on Hayes Valley work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Ask a Hayes Valley contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the job from the street. Realistically, written scope, written price and a documented warranty are the minimum on any Hayes Valley project.
