Square footage is only half the cost of a Richmond District roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Worth knowing before you sign anything. The variable line on any Richmond District quote is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Phasing a large Richmond District building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole job at once.
