We photograph every elevation on a Hayes Valley job so the itemised estimate can be read against what is actually up there. We see it on Hayes Valley roofs every week. As a rule, infrared scanning on a Hayes Valley commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. A Hayes Valley inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
Garage and patio roof coverings in Hayes Valley are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. It is the same story on most Hayes Valley streets. Streets in Hayes Valley that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof frequently brings three more on the same block. Additions and conversions are common in Hayes Valley, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.
