On most jobs, we do not advise filing a Mission Viejo claim where the deterioration is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. We see it on Mission Viejo roofs every week.
TPO and modified bitumen both work on Mission Viejo low-slope roofs, and the choice in most cases comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Realistically, tile is widespread across Mission Viejo, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. It is the same story on most Mission Viejo streets. Flat and low-slope sections in Mission Viejo call for a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
