TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Fountain Valley low-slope roofs, and the choice as a rule comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Metal has grown in Fountain Valley for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Silicone coatings hold up well on Fountain Valley roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Fountain Valley heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Orange County is no different. Realistically, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Fountain Valley tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
On most jobs, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Fountain Valley roof, and the policy wording decides which applies.

A Fountain Valley roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. A proper Fountain Valley inspection starts at the flashings, not the field.
