Get a FREENEW ROOFAlmost for Free!

A denied claim in Castro is often a documentation problem rather than a damage problem. marine layer mornings keep roofs damp long after sunrise, and onshore wind drives rain sideways into flashings.

From inspection to new roof

• Free inspection. We photograph every slope, including drone imagery, and tell you plainly whether there's a claim worth filing.
• Documentation. You get a written report with dated photos, the kind of package an adjuster expects to receive.
• You file the claim. The policy is yours, so the claim is yours. We supply the evidence.
• We meet the adjuster. On the roof, at your property, so nothing gets missed on the walkthrough.
• Approval and scope. If items are left off the scope, we supply the detail for a supplement or re-inspection.
• Replacement. Tear-off to bare deck, new underlayment and flashing, new shingles, full cleanup and a photo walkthrough.

Local conditions, local claims

Damp shade, salt and wind-driven rain are what age a roof here, more than raw heat in Castro. Marine layer mornings keep roofs damp long after sunrise, and onshore wind drives rain sideways into flashings, and that is exactly the kind of sudden damage a policy is written for. Most of the claims we document here start at a rake, a ridge line or a piece of flashing.

What it costs you

On an approved replacement cost claim, your out-of-pocket is generally the deductible. Depreciation is usually released once the work is complete and invoiced.

Your deductible is the number that matters. If the repair costs less than the deductible, we'll tell you not to file — a claim on the record with no payout helps nobody.

When we'll tell you not to file

An honest inspection sometimes ends with "your roof is fine." That's a result too, and it costs you nothing.

Standards we hold on every Castro job

Ventilation gets looked at while the roof is open; most Castro attics run hotter than they should.

• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• Rake and eave metal is new on every job; reusing bent metal is false economy.
• You get the manufacturer warranty on the materials and ours on the workmanship, both in writing.
• Payment is tied to progress, not demanded up front.

Castro, up close

Roofs in Castro do not wear out the way a brochure says they do, and sea air corrodes anything unprotected and keeps north slopes damp. From the shop it is a 337-mile run northwest to Castro, so emergencies get a same-day answer.

We know Noe Valley, Haight Ashbury and Mission District as well as we know Castro.

• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.
• Solar panels get detached and reset on a schedule that matches the roofing crew.
• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.
• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.

A roof opened in October is a different job from one opened in January. Call and we will look at the Castro roof, show you photos, and put the price in writing.

When insurance pays for a roof in Castro

Whether a roof qualifies comes down to what caused the damage and when.

• An active policy with roof coverage. Replacement cost policies pay differently than actual cash value, and it's worth knowing which you have before the call.
• Damage the adjuster can see. Lifted or creased shingles, broken seals, displaced ridge caps, damaged flashing — documented slope by slope.
• Sudden, identifiable damage. Wind, hail, falling branches and storm debris are covered events. Gradual wear and age are not.
• A recent date of loss. Most policies expect the claim to be filed within a set window of the event, so a wind event you remember is worth acting on.
