Worth knowing before you sign anything. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Ingleside heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. We see it on Ingleside roofs every week. As a rule, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Ingleside even where code does not require them. Flat and low-slope sections in Ingleside need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
A Ingleside roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Flashing at the wall junction is checked soonest on any Ingleside inspection, because that is where nearly all ceiling stains originate. A proper Ingleside inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does.
