Flat and low-slope sections in Shadow Hills require a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Lightweight tile gives Shadow Hills owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Shadow Hills where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.
