Realistically, a Mission Hills inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. It is the same story on most Mission Hills streets. Moisture readings matter on Mission Hills low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. It is the same story on most Mission Hills streets.
