On most jobs, payment schedules on Mission Bay work should track progress, never run ahead of it. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets.
Core samples settle the argument on a Mission Bay low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible. Photographs with dates are part of every Mission Bay inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. That is as true in Mission Bay as anywhere in San Francisco County. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Mission Bay work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
