Realistically, a Outer Mission property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets. Most roofs in Outer Mission fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Garage and patio roofs in Outer Mission are frequently lower slope than the house and call for an entirely different system.
