1Pricing a Presidio Roof Honestly
The variable line on any Presidio quote is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. It is the same story on most Presidio streets. Low-priced Presidio quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. We see it on Presidio roofs every week.

Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Presidio even where code does not require them.
2What a Presidio Inspection Covers

A Presidio roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a Presidio job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across San Francisco County.
On most jobs, historic districts near Presidio may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. This holds across San Francisco County. In practice, a permitted Presidio re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. Inspection scheduling in Presidio adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start.
