1The Outer Mission Inspection, Step by Step
A correct Outer Mission inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Outer Mission roofs, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does. On most jobs, drone access on steep or fragile Outer Mission roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Outer Mission inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Outer Mission shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. In practice, we inspect ventilation on every Outer Mission work, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
Ask a Outer Mission roofer for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Beware the Outer Mission quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Ask any Outer Mission roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. San Francisco County is no different.

In practice, dust and grit settle on Outer Mission roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Outer Mission slope ages that side seasons ahead of the rest of the roof.
Policies covering Outer Mission properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. That is as true in Outer Mission as anywhere in San Francisco County.

In practice, code upgrade cover decides whether a Outer Mission claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week. Deductibles on Outer Mission policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. In practice, photographs taken before any tarping on a Outer Mission property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.
