1Keeping a Mission District Roof in Service
Two visits a year keeps a Mission District roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and inspect the flashings following the earliest heavy storm. Moss on a shaded Mission District slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. We see it on Mission District roofs every week. A maintenance record on a Mission District roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Mission District building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves.

A Mission District roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof covering without it by years.

We photograph every elevation on a Mission District project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Photographs with dates are part of every Mission District inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
3How We Inspect a Mission District Roof
We photograph every elevation on a Mission District job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Put simply, moisture readings matter on Mission District low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Mission District tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, a Mission District roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. A correct Mission District inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does.

Denied Mission District claims are frequently reopened successfully when correct documentation is supplied the second time. Realistically, we do not advise filing a Mission District claim where the damage is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. As a rule, insurance work in Mission District turns on documentation. Harm recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Mission District property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.

Photographs with dates are part of every Mission District inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
5Vetting a Contractor in Mission District
On most jobs, check the CSLB licence number before any Mission District roofer starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Realistically, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Mission District contract, not assumed. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. In practice, ask a Mission District contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Put simply, a good Mission District roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is. Payment schedules on Mission District the project should track progress, never run ahead of it. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. A contractor who explains why a Mission District roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it.
Two visits a year keeps a Mission District roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and check the flashings once past the soonest heavy storm. Resealing penetrations on a Mission District roof covering every few seasons is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building. In practice, checking the attic after the earliest heavy wet weather in Mission District finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.

Realistically, reclaimed tile can be matched on Mission District heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.

As a rule, second-storey additions in Mission District create a junction between old and new roof that requires correct flashing rather than sealant. In practice, nearly all roofs in Mission District fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Roof age across Mission District clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Multi-unit buildings in Mission District usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. This holds across San Francisco County.

Summer high temperatures is the main ageing force on a Mission District roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. This holds across San Francisco County. Roof surface temperatures in Mission District routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. On most jobs, low-slope sections in Mission District hold high temperatures worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.

Realistically, attic ventilation on a Mission District property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. That is as true in Mission District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Realistically, debris in Mission District valleys holds what little damp arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts.
Look over that the Mission District crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it.
