Put simply, tPO and modified bitumen both the project on San Gabriel low-slope roof coverings, and the choice generally comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.

Checking the attic following the first heavy rainfall in San Gabriel finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.
Budgeting a San Gabriel replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofer during a storm. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A San Gabriel roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Financing makes sense on a San Gabriel roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with seasons of life left.
