Realistically, garage and patio roofs in Valley Glen are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system.
Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Valley Glen where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Tile is widespread across Valley Glen, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Valley Glen heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
