On most jobs, lightweight tile gives Santa Paula owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise call for. It is the same story on most Santa Paula streets. Coatings suit Santa Paula buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. We see it on Santa Paula roofs every week. Mixing materials across a Santa Paula roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
