Dust and grit settle on Mission District roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Dry offshore winds reach Mission District through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roof coverings are least lapped to resist. We see it on Mission District roofs every week. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Mission District slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. Sealant is the first casualty in Mission District; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
Realistically, metal has grown in Mission District for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Mission District low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. Tile is widespread across Mission District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches property owners out.
2What Sits on Most Mission District Roofs
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. Where Mission District buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.
