On most jobs, payment schedules on Bayview the project should track progress, never run ahead of it. That is as true in Bayview as anywhere in San Francisco County. As a rule, ask any Bayview roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. In practice, manufacturer certification is what decides it on Bayview jobs given that it is what makes the material warranty enforceable.
