Don't mean to sound harsh at all btw 

Pretty harsh but you might have to call the cops for trespassing.

Check out the book "go for no" It's one of my favorites- shifts your mindset so celebrate the "nos"- no matter how harsh they are. 

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you want to make sure you and/or your contractor understand what's involved and include those things in the SoW.FYI it's always a good idea to get multiple bids, but a lot of contractors will turn their back on you if you start asking for itemized labor/material bids.

Just be prepared to hear some harsh words once in a while and do as they ask of you. 

To the East the climate quickly gets harsh in Anza Borrego.  

no matter how many times I emptied the gutters of moss, they kept getting blocked again months later due to the moss falling off the roof into the gutter. we had the insurance guys come over to check it out and they recommended we get a roof cleaning company in every year and also one to do the gutters. after a lot of research we found out about the roof scraper tool from roofscraper.co.uk we bought this tool and then scraped the moss off. saved us a lot in recurring cleaning costs. the only thing is you need to apply a chemical after to stop the moss from growing back. these chemicals can be quite toxic so you must wear the appropriate safety gear!

I have had roofs cleaned by companies who do the low pressure washing w/ chemicals.

Sun is harsh, wind is constant, so plan on much more upkeep than standard homes.For those of us lucky enough to live on the Island it's b/c we love the lifestyle.  

I think SF’s RC laws are a lot more harsh.
