Patch makes sense on a Dana Point roof with service life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. Orange County is no different.
Put simply, mixing materials across a Dana Point roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Dana Point and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. On most jobs, coatings suit Dana Point buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
