Deductibles on Mission Hills policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.
Lightweight tile gives Mission Hills owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise call for. Tile is widespread across Mission Hills, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. It is the same story on most Mission Hills streets. Silicone coatings hold up well on Mission Hills roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.
