A closer look at Mission District

What a roof faces in Mission District is specific, not generic: onshore wind drives rain sideways into the flashings. Our shop sits about 336 miles northwest of Mission District, so a crew is on site the same morning.

Crews rotate through Noe Valley, Potrero Hill and Bernal Heights, so nothing about these streets is new to us.

• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• Chimney and wall flashings are replaced, not painted over with sealant.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.

Leaks found in summer cost a fraction of the same leak found in February. You get photos, measurements and a plain explanation before any work is booked.

Our habits on site

Rake and eave metal is new on every job; reusing bent metal is false economy.

• We show you the soft spots before they are covered, not after.
• Ventilation gets looked at while the roof is open; most Mission District attics run hotter than they should.
• Drone shots cover the steep sections, and the rest is checked on foot.
• Underlayment is where corners get cut; we use the system the manufacturer warrants.

What we check before quoting

Cheap work shows up at the details: a flashing sealed instead of replaced, a vent reused because it was quicker, decking covered because nobody wanted the conversation. Those are the roofs we get called back to in two winters.

Dry-season work is cheaper and safer, because the whole job happens on dry decking. Once the first storm is on the ten-day forecast the calendar in Mission District tightens fast, and emergency work costs more than planned work.

Timing the work in Mission District

A roof is a system. The membrane or shingle gets the attention, but the underlayment, the fasteners, the edge metal and the ventilation decide whether it reaches its warranty.

The parts people ask about

You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.

• Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.
• Change orders are written and signed, never verbal.
• Ridge venting goes in where the roof line allows it, with proper intake at the eaves.
• One person runs your job and answers the phone the whole way through.

Mission District in detail

The job list in Mission District repeats itself for a reason - nothing dries quickly here, so a small leak stays wet. 336 miles northwest means a crew, a ladder and a tarp can be there this afternoon.

We know Noe Valley, Potrero Hill and Bernal Heights as well as we know Mission District.

• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted properly instead of being crushed by a ladder.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.
• Where an HOA sets colour or material rules, we match the approved list before the job is quoted.
• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.

We would rather be on your roof in September than during the first atmospheric river. We will tell you if the roof has five years left, because that is also useful to know.

Questions Mission District owners ask us

When the crew leaves, the debris leaves with them: magnet passes morning and evening, gutters cleared, driveway swept. You get photos of the finished work and the warranty paperwork registered in your name.

The questions we hear most in Mission District are about price, timing and whether a repair will hold. We answer all three before you commit, and we put the answers in writing.
