6Roofing Materials That Suit Mission District
Put simply, silicone coatings hold up well on Mission District roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.

7What the Weather Does to a Mission District Roof

Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. As a rule, dry offshore winds reach Mission District through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Thermal cycling does the damage in Mission District — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year.

9Maintaining a Mission District Roof
Trimming back branches over a Mission District roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. On most jobs, a maintenance record on a Mission District roof also helps at claim time, given that it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Annual inspection on a Mission District property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, checking the attic once past the soonest heavy rainfall in Mission District finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. A Mission District roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by seasons. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. Most Mission District roofs that let go early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
A Mission District contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. The Mission District roofer who tells you a make good will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. Check that the Mission District crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. We see it on Mission District roofs every week.
