Attic temperatures in Mission Bay drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Mission Bay roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Low-slope sections in Mission Bay hold thermal load worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.
Loose ridge caps on a Mission Bay roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. Moss on a shaded Mission Bay slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. In practice, checking the attic following the soonest heavy rainfall in Mission Bay finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week.
