On most jobs, attic temperatures in Mission Bay drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
On most jobs, deck replacement on a Mission Bay job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. As a rule, seasonal demand in Mission Bay affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Mission Bay roof more than the headline figure does.
