Clearing the Mission District gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Mission District building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.
Realistically, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Mission District shingle roof, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. Put simply, we photograph every elevation on a Mission District project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. That is as true in Mission District as anywhere in San Francisco County. We look over ventilation on every Mission District job, given that a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
