Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. We see it on Valley Glen roofs every week.
Realistically, reclaimed tile can be matched on Valley Glen heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Valley Glen tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. On most jobs, lightweight tile gives Valley Glen property owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
