Trimming back branches over a Mission Bay roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. San Francisco County is no different. Put simply, a maintenance record on a Mission Bay roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. This holds across San Francisco County.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Mission Bay heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Mission Bay roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. This holds across San Francisco County. Realistically, tile is widespread across Mission Bay, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out.
