Water readings matter on North Hollywood low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Realistically, a done right North Hollywood inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does. Infrared scanning on a North Hollywood commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
Silicone coatings hold up well on North Hollywood roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. In practice, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a North Hollywood tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Metal has grown in North Hollywood for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener.
