Reclaimed tile can be matched on Mission Bay heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
Put simply, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Mission Bay roof coverings, since the sheathing often lets go in advance of the shingle does. As a rule, we look over the deck from inside the attic on every Mission Bay job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Mission Bay inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate.
