Coatings suit Outer Mission buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. This holds across San Francisco County.
Solar arrays on Outer Mission roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. That is as true in Outer Mission as anywhere in San Francisco County. Garage and patio roofs in Outer Mission are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. In practice, many Outer Mission properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
