As a rule, reclaimed tile can be matched on Poway heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Poway and the cheapest to renew, but it is also the first to show UV harm.
3Poway Permit Requirements

Tile is widespread across Poway, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Poway where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Lightweight tile gives Poway property owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
