2How We Inspect a Mission District Roof
We check the deck from inside the attic on every Mission District job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. A Mission District roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. In practice, a Mission District inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. As a rule, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Mission District roof coverings, since the sheathing more often than not gives out before the shingle does. In practice, we photograph every elevation on a Mission District job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. That is as true in Mission District as anywhere in San Francisco County. On most jobs, a proper Mission District inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does.

A Mission District adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. On most jobs, supplements are normal on Mission District claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later.
4The Conditions a Mission District Roof Works Against

Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.

Inspect the CSLB licence number before any Mission District contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current.

Two warranties apply on Mission District work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. In practice, ask any Mission District roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off.

TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Mission District low-slope roofs, and the choice in most cases comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.
