Roof Replacement in Carlsbad and North County San Diego
On a lot of the tile homes around North County, the tile itself is fine. It's the underlayment underneath, the felt or synthetic layer that actually keeps water out, that wears out after two or three decades of UV and heat. That's why a tile roof replacement here often means relaying your existing tile over a fresh waterproofing layer rather than tearing everything to the curb.
We'll tell you honestly whether your tile is worth saving. Concrete tile that's spalling or clay that's cracking throughout is a different conversation than a roof where the tile is sound and only the underlayment has aged out.

- Underlayment that's brittle and crumbling when handled

Do I have to replace my tiles or can they be reused?
If your clay or concrete tile is structurally sound, it can typically be lifted, set aside, and relaid over new underlayment, which is the layer that actually fails with age. Replacing tile is only necessary when it's cracked, spalling, or discontinued and can't be matched.
Planning a replacement often raises these related decisions worth reviewing.
