Policies covering Oceanside properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Oceanside heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Metal has grown in Oceanside for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Realistically, tPO and modified bitumen both work on Oceanside low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.
