Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Poway roofs long before the material itself gives out. Attic ventilation on a Poway property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Composition shingle is the most common covering in Poway and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. Underlayment choice counts more than covering choice on a Poway tile roof covering, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Mixing materials across a Poway roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
