Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Palmdale tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. It is the same story on most Palmdale streets. Silicone coatings hold up well on Palmdale roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Palmdale low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. That is as true in Palmdale as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
