Put simply, payment schedules on Outer Mission the job should track progress, never run ahead of it. Realistically, manufacturer certification matters on Outer Mission jobs since it is what makes the material warranty enforceable.
We photograph every elevation on a Outer Mission job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets. A Outer Mission roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. We inspect ventilation on every Outer Mission job, given that a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
