This holds across San Francisco County. A Western Addition property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.

Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, structural work on a Western Addition roof covering triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. Unpermitted roofing in Western Addition surfaces at resale. the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it.
Itemised, itemised estimates let Western Addition owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. That is as true in Western Addition as anywhere in San Francisco County. Material choice changes a Western Addition roof budget less than most property owners expect; labour and complexity dominate. It is the same story on most Western Addition streets. A Western Addition estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately.
