Realistically, damp readings matter on Mission Hills low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. A Mission Hills inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. As a rule, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Mission Hills shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does.
