As a rule, core samples settle the argument on a Mission Bay low-slope roof covering when damp is suspected but not visible. Moisture readings matter on Mission Bay low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Mission Bay roof has been maintained. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Mission Bay job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. As a rule, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Mission Bay tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Mission Bay inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate.

Budgeting a Mission Bay replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. That is as true in Mission Bay as anywhere in San Francisco County. On most jobs, square footage is only half the cost of a Mission Bay roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. A Mission Bay written price that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
