Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Mission District roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life. Flat and low-slope sections in Mission District need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. San Francisco County is no different. Coatings suit Mission District 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.

Realistically, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Mission District shingle roof, and it shows up seasons ahead of a ceiling stain does.

Attic ventilation on a Mission District property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. That is as true in Mission District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, debris in Mission District valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Attic temperatures in Mission District drive shingle working life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests.

Mixing materials across a Mission District roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Tile is widespread across Mission District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches property owners out. Coatings suit Mission District buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Put simply, standing seam on a Mission District property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
