In practice, garage and patio roofs in Marina District are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system.
In practice, concrete tile suits Marina District buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. As a rule, tile is widespread across Marina District, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. On most jobs, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Marina District roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.
