1Finding the Problem on a Outer Mission Roof
On most jobs, a Outer Mission roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a Outer Mission project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Outer Mission project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. In practice, a Outer Mission inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Outer Mission tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. This holds across San Francisco County.
Standing seam on a Outer Mission property hides its fixings, which removes the nearly all common leak path on exposed metal. Concrete tile suits Outer Mission buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

Historic districts near Outer Mission may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming in advance of materials are ordered. It is the same story on most Outer Mission streets.
Insurance work in Outer Mission turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one.

Cost on a Outer Mission roof covering comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath.
