1The Conditions a Jamul Roof Works Against
Overnight cooling is sharper in Jamul than down on the basin floor, and the daily expansion range on a roof surface is wider for it. Uplift at the ridge is the usual failure on a Jamul roof, and it starts at one loose cap rather than across the field.

Mixing materials across a Jamul roof is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly.
Multi-unit buildings in Jamul usually call for a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off patch.

Supplements are normal on Jamul claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
