Phasing a large Outer Mission building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole project at once. Seasonal demand in Outer Mission affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both. Budgeting a Outer Mission replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets.

In practice, check that the Outer Mission crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. A Outer Mission contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same work as the one who will. On most jobs, local experience is what decides it in Outer Mission since the failure modes here are heat, wind load and drainage rather than snow and ice.
