Tile roofing
Tile lasts decades — but the underlayment beneath it doesn't. Around year 20 to 25 a tile roof usually needs a lift & re-lay: we take the tile off, replace the underlayment, and lay it back. That's the job, not a full replacement.
What a tile roof actually is
Concrete and clay tile are built to last 50 years or more — but the waterproof underlayment underneath them isn't. In California, that underlayment typically fails around year 20 to 25.
When it does, the right fix isn't a full replacement. It's a lift & re-lay: we carefully remove the tile, install brand-new underlayment and flashing, repair any cracked tile, and lay the existing tile back down. You keep your tile and get a brand-new waterproof layer underneath.
It's a fraction of the cost of a full tile replacement, and it's almost always what a tile roof actually needs. We'll tell you honestly whether your tile still has life in it — and whether the underlayment is what's failed.
Low, mid, and high-end
Three tiers of tile roofing, each with a clear price point and a clear set of trade-offs. We'll tell you which one your house actually wants after a free inspection.
Standard Lift & Re-Lay
The essential fix
- Remove and salvage existing tile
- Standard peel-and-stick underlayment
- Replace cracked and broken tile as needed
- Reseal flashings and penetrations
- Best when the tile is good but the underlayment is done
Premium Lift & Re-Lay
What we recommend most
- Remove, clean, and re-lay existing tile
- Premium dual-layer underlayment with ice & water shield in valleys
- New metal flashing and edge details
- Replace 10–15% cracked tile included
- 25-year underlayment warranty
Full Tile Replacement
New tile throughout
- All-new concrete or clay tile
- Premium underlayment and full flashing package
- New ridge, hip, and rake details
- 50-year tile + 25-year underlayment warranty
