Code upgrade cover decides whether a Outer Mission claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like.

On most jobs, a good Outer Mission roofer will talk you out of work you do not call for, which is the clearest signal there is.

In practice, two warranties apply on Outer Mission the project: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.

In practice, ask any Outer Mission roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer in advance of the covering comes off.

Streets in Outer Mission that were built out together tend to require roofs together, which is why one re-roof commonly brings three more on the same block. A Outer Mission property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. As a rule, housing stock in Outer Mission runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling generally tells you when the building went up. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets.
