1The Mission Bay Inspection, Step by Step

2Permits and Inspections in Mission Bay
In practice, structural the project on a Mission Bay roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. On most jobs, the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection handles the paperwork for roofing the job in Mission Bay, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the homeowner. This holds across San Francisco County. Put simply, the permit record for a Mission Bay property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. Permit requirements in Mission Bay run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. On most jobs, reroofing over existing layers in Mission Bay is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. Codes change, and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Mission Bay quote should state the assembly being installed. San Francisco County is no different.

3Why Mission Bay Roofs Age the Way They Do
As a rule, mission Bay gets its wet weather in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Low-slope sections in Mission Bay hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. This holds across San Francisco County. Dry offshore winds reach Mission Bay through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. On most jobs, attic ventilation on a Mission Bay property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. As a rule, tile underlayment in Mission Bay dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street.

4Keeping a Mission Bay Roof in Service
Moss on a shaded Mission Bay slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Annual inspection on a Mission Bay property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service working life. Loose ridge caps on a Mission Bay roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. That is as true in Mission Bay as anywhere in San Francisco County. Trimming back branches over a Mission Bay roof removes the debris that holds water against the covering and shortens its service life. Flashings at the chimney on an older Mission Bay house usually call for attention well ahead of the covering does. On most jobs, walking a Mission Bay tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone.
On most jobs, a Mission Bay roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a estimate based on half the information. San Francisco County is no different. Realistically, cheap Mission Bay quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. As a rule, a Mission Bay estimate that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
5Housing Stock and Roof Types in Mission Bay
Garage and patio roofs in Mission Bay are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Additions and conversions are common in Mission Bay, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. San Francisco County is no different. Realistically, a Mission Bay property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.

Tile is widespread across Mission Bay, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out.
