Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Mission District roof more than the headline figure does. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, square footage is only half the cost of a Mission District roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. A Mission District quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. In practice, cheap Mission District quotes in most cases skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives.

Trimming back branches over a Mission District roof covering removes the debris that holds water against the covering and shortens its life. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, skylight seals on Mission District roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Resealing penetrations on a Mission District roof every few seasons is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
