1What Sits on Most Mission District Roofs
Second-storey additions in Mission District create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant. Many Mission District properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. 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. Realistically, garage and patio roofs in Mission District are frequently lower slope than the house and call for an entirely different system. Multi-unit buildings in Mission District usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair.
Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Mission District even where code does not require them. Mixing materials across a Mission District roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Lightweight tile gives Mission District owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.

4Choosing a Covering in Mission District
TPO and modified bitumen both work on Mission District low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. We see it on Mission District roofs every week. Put simply, tile is widespread across Mission District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. This holds across San Francisco County. Composition shingle is the the majority of common covering in Mission District and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage. Concrete tile suits Mission District buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Mission District roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Mission District gets its wet weather in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.

6The Conditions a Mission District Roof Works Against

Low-slope sections in Mission District hold thermal load worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. It is the same story on most Mission District streets.

As a rule, budgeting a Mission District replacement a few seasons out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm.
