Deck replacement on a Outer Mission job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.

2Roof Age Across Outer Mission
As a rule, where Outer Mission buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Older Outer Mission buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. Roof age across Outer Mission 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. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, original decking on older Outer Mission homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Additions and conversions are common in Outer Mission, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.

3Which System Fits a Outer Mission Property
On most jobs, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Outer Mission roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer service life. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Outer Mission even where code does not require them. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week. On most jobs, coatings suit Outer Mission buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Outer Mission heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Outer Mission and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the first to show UV deterioration. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Outer Mission tile roof, since that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
As a rule, most Outer Mission roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Skylight seals on Outer Mission roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Two visits a year keeps a Outer Mission roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and look over the flashings after the first heavy storm.
