TPO and modified bitumen both work on Dana Point low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Put simply, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Dana Point even where code does not require them. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Dana Point and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage.
