As a rule, the permit record for a Noe Valley property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. This holds across San Francisco County. Inspection scheduling in Noe Valley adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Reroofing over existing layers in Noe Valley is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection.
