Garage and patio roofs in Mission Bay are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. Converted garages in Mission Bay are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Streets in Mission Bay that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Solar arrays on Mission Bay roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
Debris in Mission Bay valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. On most jobs, low-slope sections in Mission Bay hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Put simply, sealant is the first casualty in Mission Bay; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
