In practice, summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a Irwindale roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months.

Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Irwindale tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Realistically, a proper Irwindale inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does.

Ask any Irwindale roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off. Check the CSLB licence number ahead of any Irwindale contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Inspect that the Irwindale crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Irwindale contract, not assumed.

Put simply, tPO and modified bitumen both the project on Irwindale low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. This holds across Los Angeles County. As a rule, mixing materials across a Irwindale roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it calls for and the transitions are flashed properly. That is as true in Irwindale as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
