The majority of 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. Original decking on older Mission District homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Where Mission District buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.

Loose ridge caps on a Mission District roof are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one after.

Tile is widespread across Mission District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
