We photograph every elevation on a Marina District work so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Fasteners are the weak point within a mile of the water in Marina District; plated nails give out while the covering above them still has years left. Ponding on a Marina District low-slope roof dries slowly in marine air, which gives the membrane a harder life than the rain total suggests. In practice, skylight curbs on Marina District roofs fail early; the seal takes salt, UV and movement at the same time. We see it on Marina District roofs every week.
