1What Mission Bay Requires on Paper
On most jobs, inspection scheduling in Mission Bay adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start.

As a rule, solar removal and reset on a Mission Bay work can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. Put simply, historic districts near Mission Bay may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. Full replacements in Mission Bay generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the work is finished.

Mixing materials across a Mission Bay roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.

Moss on a shaded Mission Bay slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
