Lightweight tile gives Westlake Village owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Westlake Village heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Realistically, silicone coatings hold up well on Westlake Village roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets.
