As a rule, silicone coatings hold up well on Spring Valley roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. We see it on Spring Valley roofs every week. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Spring Valley and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. TPO and modified bitumen both the job on Spring Valley low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
