Mixing materials across a Lake Balboa roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
As a rule, a Lake Balboa estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. It is the same story on most Lake Balboa streets. A Lake Balboa written price that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Lake Balboa roof more than the headline figure does.
