Budgeting a Haight-Ashbury replacement a few seasons out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. San Francisco County is no different. A Haight-Ashbury written price that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. On most jobs, a Haight-Ashbury estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Haight-Ashbury roof more than the headline figure does. Put simply, deck replacement on a Haight-Ashbury job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Haight-Ashbury roof coverings, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Haight-Ashbury tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. It is the same story on most Haight-Ashbury streets. Put simply, we photograph every elevation on a Haight-Ashbury job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. That is as true in Haight-Ashbury as anywhere in San Francisco County.

Reclaimed tile can be matched on Haight-Ashbury heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Composition shingle is the the majority of common covering in Haight-Ashbury and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. San Francisco County is no different. Flat and low-slope sections in Haight-Ashbury require a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
