On most jobs, a roofer who explains why a Noe Valley roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to renew it. Two warranties apply on Noe Valley work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Noe Valley contract, not assumed. Local references beat national brand badges on any Noe Valley roofing decision. A Noe Valley contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will.
Supplements are normal on Noe Valley claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Insurance the job in Noe Valley turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. We see it on Noe Valley roofs every week. Realistically, nearly all Noe Valley claims that fail do so given that the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. This holds across San Francisco County.
