Realistically, reclaimed tile can be matched on Bonsall heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Put simply, mixing materials across a Bonsall roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Tile is widespread across Bonsall, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out.
Put simply, cheap Bonsall quotes generally skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Material choice changes a Bonsall roof budget less than most homeowners expect; labour and complexity dominate. Cost on a Bonsall roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. This holds across San Diego County.
