1How We Inspect a Mission Bay Roof
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.

Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Mission Bay property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. In practice, two visits a year keeps a Mission Bay roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm.
