As a rule, where Outer Mission buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, garage and patio roofs in Outer Mission are frequently lower slope than the house and call for an entirely different system. Additions and conversions are common in Outer Mission, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. San Francisco County is no different.
Concrete tile suits Outer Mission buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. In practice, metal has grown in Outer Mission for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Outer Mission roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.
