Mixing materials across a Outer Mission roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Outer Mission roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Outer Mission where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.

We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Outer Mission job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week.
Second-storey additions in Outer Mission create a junction between old and new roof that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets.
