It is the same story on most Mission District streets. The Mission District contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back.
Put simply, annual inspection on a Mission District property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. Trimming back branches over a Mission District roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its service life. Skylight seals on Mission District roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.
