Photographs taken before any tarping on a Financial District property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Matching provisions in a policy matter on Financial District tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. On most jobs, code upgrade cover decides whether a Financial District claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. This holds across San Francisco County.

Emergency tarping on a Financial District roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it.
Budgeting a Financial District replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. In practice, the variable line on any Financial District quote is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance.

4Keeping a Financial District Roof in Service
A maintenance record on a Financial District roof also helps at claim time, since it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected.

In practice, ask any Financial District roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer in advance of the covering comes off. Put simply, a Financial District roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. That is as true in Financial District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Check the CSLB licence number ahead of any Financial District roofer starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. San Francisco County is no different.
