Tile roofs: the underlayment is the roof.
Concrete and clay tile repair, tile re-lay, and full underlayment replacement — the work that actually stops the leak.
Tile lasts decades. What's under it doesn't.
Concrete and clay tile can outlive the house. The felt or underlayment beneath it can't — in Arizona heat, standard 30-lb felt often fails around year 18–25 while the tile still looks perfect. That's why most tile "roof replacements" here are really underlayment replacements. We lift and stack the existing tile, strip the old underlayment, repair decking, install a high-temperature self-adhered or synthetic underlayment, redo all flashing, and re-lay the tile — replacing broken pieces with matching profiles. You keep the look of your roof and get another 25+ years of waterproofing at a fraction of the price of new tile. We also handle straight repairs: slipped tiles after a windstorm, cracked field tiles from foot traffic, failed ridge mortar, and leaks at headwalls and valleys.

Common questions
Do I need new tile, or just new underlayment?
Usually just underlayment. If the tile is sound, a lift-and-re-lay with new underlayment restores the roof and costs far less than new tile.
How long does tile underlayment last in Arizona?
Standard felt often fails at 18–25 years under our heat. Modern high-temp synthetic and self-adhered underlayments are rated much longer.
Can you match my existing tile?
In most cases yes — we source matching or closely matching profiles, and we salvage sound tile from less visible areas when an exact match isn't available.
Should I walk on my tile roof?
No. Concrete and clay tile crack under foot traffic in the wrong spots, and cracked tile is a very common source of leaks.
