Put simply, a Outer Mission estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. Put simply, material choice changes a Outer Mission roof budget less than nearly all owners expect; labour and complexity dominate. A Outer Mission quote that comes in far below the others is in most cases missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, deck replacement on a Outer Mission project is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week.
