Composition shingle is the most common covering in Pacoima and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage. That is as true in Pacoima as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Pacoima heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Realistically, tile is widespread across Pacoima, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches property owners out. Mixing materials across a Pacoima roof is fine provided each section gets the system it calls for and the transitions are flashed properly.
Checking the attic after the earliest heavy rainfall in Pacoima finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. On most jobs, annual inspection on a Pacoima property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service working life. Resealing penetrations on a Pacoima roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building.
