Reclaimed tile can be matched on Santa Clarita heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Santa Clarita low-slope roofs, and the choice as a rule comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Santa Clarita tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Realistically, concrete tile suits Santa Clarita buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first.
Two warranties apply on Santa Clarita work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. A contractor who explains why a Santa Clarita roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. That is as true in Santa Clarita as anywhere in Los Angeles County. On most jobs, the Santa Clarita roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a patch will do, is the one worth calling back.
