We photograph every elevation on a Glen Park work so the itemised estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across San Francisco County. We check ventilation on every Glen Park job, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Glen Park tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes.
