Streets in Mission District that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.

Mission District gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. It is the same story on most Mission District streets.
Realistically, partial claims on a Mission District roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. This holds across San Francisco County. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Mission District roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, emergency tarping on a Mission District roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it.
