A Oceanview inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
On most jobs, repair makes sense on a Oceanview roof with service life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. A Oceanview written price that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. That is as true in Oceanview as anywhere in San Francisco County. The variable line on any Oceanview written price is deck patch, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance.
