Mixing materials across a Bell Gardens roof is fine provided each section gets the system it calls for and the transitions are flashed properly.

Matching provisions in a policy matter on Bell Gardens tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. This holds across Los Angeles County. Actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Bell Gardens roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies. A Bell Gardens adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough.
