Realistically, a roofing company who explains why a Tenderloin roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to renew it. On most jobs, a Tenderloin roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will.
As a rule, the permit record for a Tenderloin property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. It is the same story on most Tenderloin streets. Inspection scheduling in Tenderloin adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. We see it on Tenderloin roofs every week. Realistically, permit requirements in Tenderloin run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs as a rule do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does.
