Housing stock in Outer Mission runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. On most jobs, multi-unit buildings in Outer Mission usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair.
