1Roof Age Across Mission Bay

The majority of roofs in Mission Bay fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their working life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. Realistically, older Mission Bay buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. Garage and patio roofs in Mission Bay are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. This holds across San Francisco County. Realistically, multi-unit buildings in Mission Bay usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. Housing stock in Mission Bay runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up.

Put simply, commercial work in Mission Bay usually involves more review than residential and a longer lead time. The permit record for a Mission Bay property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof covering was done properly. The job in Mission Bay is inspected as well as permitted — the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection signs off the finished assembly, not just the application.

Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Mission Bay where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Realistically, coatings suit Mission Bay buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week. Put simply, concrete tile suits Mission Bay buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Metal has grown in Mission Bay for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. As a rule, lightweight tile gives Mission Bay owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise call for. Silicone coatings hold up well on Mission Bay roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.

On most jobs, most Mission Bay claims that fail do so because the deterioration was cleaned up or patched in advance of anyone photographed it. San Francisco County is no different.

Composition shingle is the the majority of common covering in Mission Bay and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the earliest to show UV damage.

On most jobs, two warranties apply on Mission Bay the project: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.

The majority of Mission Bay roofs that give out early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. Realistically, two visits a year keeps a Mission Bay roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Moss on a shaded Mission Bay slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
