In practice, most roofs in Westlake Village fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later.
TPO and modified bitumen both work on Westlake Village low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. On most jobs, reclaimed tile can be matched on Westlake Village heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets. Put simply, lightweight tile gives Westlake Village owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
