Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Western Addition shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Drone access on steep or fragile Western Addition roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. We photograph every elevation on a Western Addition job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. We inspect ventilation on every Western Addition job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection handles the paperwork for roofing work in Western Addition, and a licensed roofer pulls it as part of the work rather than leaving it to the owner. A permitted Western Addition re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof covering. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, reroofing over existing layers in Western Addition is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection.
