Tile sheds water and takes the direct sun, but the roof also depends on its underlayment, flashing and fastening. We assess the full assembly so a repair or replacement addresses the water path beneath the visible tiles.

Protect beneath the tile

Heat and age affect the underlayment even when the tile still looks intact. We check that layer and the flashing before recommending repeated surface repairs.
Reuse suitable tile

Sound tiles may be lifted and relaid over new underlayment. Tile condition, compatibility and the roof assembly determine whether reuse is practical.
Secure exposed details

Ridges, hips, eaves, valleys and penetrations need proper detailing. Fastening and edge details must suit the site and applicable wind requirements.
