On most jobs, outer Mission gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.

Repair makes sense on a Outer Mission roof with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. Cost on a Outer Mission roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. Budgeting a Outer Mission replacement a few seasons out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofing company during a storm.
