As a rule, coatings suit Tustin buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Put simply, tile is widespread across Tustin, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. We see it on Tustin roofs every week. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Tustin roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.
