1Which System Fits a Mission District Property
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. In practice, tPO and modified bitumen both the job on Mission District low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. This holds across San Francisco County. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Mission District where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Tile is widespread across Mission District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, underlayment choice is what decides it more than covering choice on a Mission District tile roof covering, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
Budgeting a Mission District replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofer during a storm. In practice, square footage is only half the cost of a Mission District roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. In practice, deck replacement on a Mission District work is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
2What Sits on Most Mission District Roofs
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. Older Mission District buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. This holds across San Francisco County. Nearly all roofs in Mission District fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Worth knowing before you sign anything. 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. Realistically, additions and conversions are common in Mission District, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.
Realistically, attic temperatures in Mission District drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation is what decides it more here than the brochure suggests.

3The Mission District Inspection, Step by Step
