Resealing penetrations on a Mission Bay roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Moss on a shaded Mission Bay slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. As a rule, a Mission Bay roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof covering without it by years.
Realistically, a Mission Bay roofer who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Mission Bay contract, not assumed. Two warranties apply on Mission Bay the job: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.
