Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Lake Balboa tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Realistically, coatings suit Lake Balboa buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Put simply, lightweight tile gives Lake Balboa owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
