Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. On most jobs, a light-coloured covering in Outer Mission measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. This holds across San Francisco County.
Moss on a shaded Outer Mission slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. San Francisco County is no different. Realistically, two visits a year keeps a Outer Mission roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and check the flashings following the first heavy storm. Put simply, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Outer Mission building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.
