Finding a good, reliable roofer in San Francisco isn’t easy. Over the past few years, hundreds of new companies have sprung up, offering amazingly low prices and long guarantees. Unfortunately, the Department of Consumer Affairs reports that roofers have one of the highest complaint rates of any industry.
So how do you choose a roofer?
One way is to deal with long-established companies. Roofing is a high-overhead, low-margin business: only the well-run, reliable companies can survive.
