Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Parkside roof covering more than the headline figure does. This holds across San Francisco County. A Parkside roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. On most jobs, repair makes sense on a Parkside roof covering with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else.
