Coatings suit Sepulveda buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. On most jobs, reclaimed tile can be matched on Sepulveda heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Lightweight tile gives Sepulveda owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
