Loose ridge caps on a Outer Mission roof covering are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one once past. Flashings at the chimney on an older Outer Mission house usually need attention well before the covering does. This holds across San Francisco County.
On most jobs, full replacements in Outer Mission generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the work is finished. Put simply, the permit record for a Outer Mission property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week. In practice, the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection handles the paperwork for roofing the job in Outer Mission, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the property owner.
