6Which System Fits a Westlake Village Property
On most jobs, tPO and modified bitumen both work on Westlake Village low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Flat and low-slope sections in Westlake Village call for a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. This holds across Ventura County. Tile is widespread across Westlake Village, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches property owners out.
