Realistically, coatings suit Costa Mesa buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Costa Mesa even where code does not require them. This holds across Orange County. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Costa Mesa tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
