Put simply, full replacements in Ingleside generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the the project is finished. That is as true in Ingleside as anywhere in San Francisco County.
Put simply, photographs with dates are part of every Ingleside inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, infrared scanning on a Ingleside commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Ingleside shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does.
