Put simply, flashings at the chimney on an older Mission Bay house usually need attention well in advance of the covering does. Realistically, a Mission Bay roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years.

A good Mission Bay roofer will talk you out of the project you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is. San Francisco County is no different. A Mission Bay contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. As a rule, local experience counts in Mission Bay given that the failure modes here are high temperatures, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice.
