Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets.
Second-storey additions in Outer Mission create a junction between old and new roof that calls for correct flashing rather than sealant. Solar arrays on Outer Mission roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week.
