Reclaimed tile can be matched on Winnetka heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Flat and low-slope sections in Winnetka need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Winnetka even where code does not require them. Concrete tile suits Winnetka buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question soonest. This holds across Los Angeles County. Coatings suit Winnetka buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Winnetka low-slope roof coverings, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. It is the same story on most Winnetka streets.
On most jobs, roof covering pitch across Winnetka varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. That is as true in Winnetka as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Multi-unit buildings in Winnetka generally call for a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. In practice, streets in Winnetka that were built out together tend to need roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof commonly brings three more on the same block. That is as true in Winnetka as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
