Codes change, and the county or city building department covering Poway applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Poway quote should state the assembly being laid. Worth knowing before you sign anything. The job in Poway is inspected as well as permitted — the county or city building department covering Poway signs off the finished assembly, not just the application.
In practice, where Poway buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Realistically, garage and patio roofs in Poway are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. Roof age across Poway clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other.
