Many Mission Bay properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
Loose ridge caps on a Mission Bay roof are a five-minute fix ahead of the winds and a much larger one after. Most Mission Bay roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. In practice, a maintenance record on a Mission Bay roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected.
