As a rule, full replacements in Ingleside generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the work is finished.
Put simply, budgeting a Ingleside replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofing company during a storm. In practice, cost on a Ingleside roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. Square footage is only half the cost of a Ingleside roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much.
