A light-coloured covering in Mission Bay measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. This holds across San Francisco County. Attic temperatures in Mission Bay drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation counts more here than the brochure suggests. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Mission Bay slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. Sealant is the first casualty in Mission Bay; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Mission Bay roofs long before the material itself gives out. This holds across San Francisco County.
