That is as true in Laguna Woods as anywhere in Orange County.

Put simply, lightweight tile gives Laguna Woods homeowners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. Flat and low-slope sections in Laguna Woods need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Realistically, mixing materials across a Laguna Woods roof is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly.
