As a rule, thermal cycling does the damage in Mission Bay — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Debris in Mission Bay valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts.

Square footage is only half the cost of a Mission Bay roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Cheap Mission Bay quotes as a rule skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. On most jobs, financing makes sense on a Mission Bay roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with seasons of life left. Realistically, phasing a large Mission Bay building across two seasons is more often than not cheaper than financing the whole job at once. Realistically, cost on a Mission Bay roof covering comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. This holds across San Francisco County.
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Mission Bay tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Realistically, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Mission Bay roofs, since the sheathing frequently fails before the shingle does. Photographs with dates are part of every Mission Bay inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. This holds across San Francisco County.

Ask any Mission Bay roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off.

Mixing materials across a Mission Bay roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
