As a rule, tPO and modified bitumen both work on West Hills low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. It is the same story on most West Hills streets.

As a rule, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a West Hills roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.
A done right West Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long in advance of the covering does. We see it on West Hills roofs every week. A West Hills inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any West Hills inspection, given that that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. It is the same story on most West Hills streets.
