1How We Inspect a Mission District Roof
Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Mission District roof covering has been maintained. Photographs with dates are part of every Mission District inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Flashing at the wall junction is checked earliest on any Mission District inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Moisture readings matter on Mission District low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the issue in rather than solving it. Drone access on steep or fragile Mission District roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Worth knowing before you sign anything. We check ventilation on every Mission District job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
Deductibles on Mission District policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. This holds across San Francisco County. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Mission District roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. As a rule, wind and storm damage on a Mission District roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.
2The Mission District Maintenance Year
Resealing penetrations on a Mission District roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. A maintenance record on a Mission District roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. In practice, two visits a year keeps a Mission District roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. As a rule, the majority of Mission District roofs that give out early let go at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Realistically, skylight seals on Mission District roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Put simply, walking a Mission District tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone.
Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Mission District even where code does not require them. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. Silicone coatings hold up well on Mission District roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Mission District tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing.

Roof age across Mission District clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. In practice, converted garages in Mission District are a common source of leaks since the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. A Mission District property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.

Worth knowing before you sign anything. Many Mission District properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
