Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Outer Mission roofs, since the sheathing more often than not gives out before the shingle does.
Roof covering pitch across Outer Mission varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Streets in Outer Mission that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof more often than not brings three more on the same block. On most jobs, converted garages in Outer Mission are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. San Francisco County is no different.
