Concrete tile suits Jamul buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. This holds across San Diego County. Realistically, coatings suit Jamul buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Mixing materials across a Jamul roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
