On most jobs, coatings suit Outer Mission buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
On most jobs, skylight seals on Outer Mission roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Walking a Outer Mission tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Loose ridge caps on a Outer Mission roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after.
