What helps a San Francisco roofer price the job?

  • Flat, pitched or both. Many city homes have a pitched front and a flat roof behind it. Say so on the form so the right crew comes out.
  • Access. Note shared walls, a garage that blocks the front, or a rear-yard-only route for debris. Street-space for a dumpster is part of the city permit.
  • The last reroof. DataSF's building permit records show past reroof permits by address, often back to the early 1990s.
  • Historic status. Homes in historic districts can need Planning review before DBI issues the reroof permit.

What happens after I send the form?

The roofer calls or texts to book an inspection. Expect them on the roof or at the parapet with a camera. They should leave you a written estimate that names the roofing system, tear-off, any deck replacement price, permit and dumpster costs, and the warranty.

Do you handle roof repairs?

No. This service is only for full replacements and reroofs. If a roofer finds that a repair will do, they'll tell you.

What should I check before signing?

Look up the contractor's license on the CSLB site and confirm the C-39 classification. California law caps the down payment on a home improvement contract (CSLB).
