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.
As a rule, the Mission Bay roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a patch will do, is the one worth calling back. Manufacturer certification matters on Mission Bay jobs since it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. A Mission Bay roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
