Resealing penetrations on a Mission District roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. Skylight seals on Mission District roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. We see it on Mission District roofs every week. Walking a Mission District tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. That is as true in Mission District as anywhere in San Francisco County.
