Two warranties apply on Mission District work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. In practice, ask a Mission District roofer for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. A Mission District contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will.

Financing makes sense on a Mission District roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left.
