9Vetting a Contractor in Mission Bay

On most jobs, local experience counts in Mission Bay because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. Look over that the Mission Bay crew doing the the job is employed by the company quoting it. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Check the CSLB licence number ahead of any Mission Bay contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Mission Bay contract, not assumed. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week. Payment schedules on Mission Bay work should track progress, never run ahead of it.

A permitted Mission Bay re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Codes change, and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Mission Bay quote should state the assembly being installed. Permit fees in Mission Bay are a small part of the job and a large part of what protects the property owner at resale. San Francisco County is no different.
