Acrylic Roof Coating: Costs, Lifespan and Alternatives

A typical Mission Bay re-roof runs one to three days depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing. Flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Mission Bay roof.

Final clean-up on a Mission Bay property includes a magnetic sweep for nails before the crew leaves. Nothing is left open overnight on a Mission Bay job — the deck is dried in the same day it is exposed.

A Mission Bay property with two roof types gets two scopes, because a single lump sum hides what is being done. Emergency work in Mission Bay costs more than planned work, for the obvious reason that nobody chose the timing.

Two warranties apply on Mission Bay work — the manufacturer's on material and the installer's on workmanship. Ask what happens on your Mission Bay job if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer beforehand.

Cost on a Mission Bay roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off and the state of the deck underneath. The line that moves on a Mission Bay quote is deck repair, so it belongs in writing at a rate per sheet rather than as an allowance.

Low-slope sections on Mission Bay buildings need a membrane or coating system rather than shingle laid flatter than it is rated for. Tile on a Mission Bay property outlives its underlayment by decades, and the underlayment is the part doing the waterproofing.

Thermal cycling does the quiet damage in Mission Bay — hot afternoons, cool nights, materials working against their fixings. Mission Bay takes its rain in short heavy bursts, so drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.

On a Mission Bay tile roof we lift field tiles in two or three places to date the underlayment, which takes about fifteen minutes. A Mission Bay inspection starts at the flashings — chimney, vents, skylights — because they fail long before the field does.
