Tile Roofing

Tile Roofing Specialists — Clay & Concrete

Clay and concrete tile is the signature roof of coastal Southern California, and it's the core of what we do.

Overview

Tile Roofing done right for the coast

Tile roofing is a craft, not a commodity. The tile you see is often the strongest part of the system and can last for decades, while the underlayment sealing the roof deck below it wears out far sooner. That's why the most common tile job in North County isn't a tear-off at all, it's lifting the existing tile, replacing the underlayment, and relaying the same tile. Get that wrong and you get leaks; get it right and you buy decades. We match profiles and colors for HOA neighborhoods like Aviara, La Costa, and Rancho Santa Fe.

Problems we solve

  • Leaks with the tile still looking fine (failed underlayment)
  • Cracked or broken individual tiles
  • Slipped tiles after wind events
  • Faded or mismatched tiles needing color-matching
  • Old mortar and flashing at ridges and valleys
  • Considering a switch from tile to shingle

Quick Answer

Why do tile roofs leak even when the tiles look fine?

Tile roofs usually leak because the underlayment beneath the tile has failed, not the tile itself. The tile is the durable outer shell, but the waterproof underlayment on the roof deck typically wears out first. The fix is to lift the tile, replace the underlayment, and relay the tile, often reusing the same tiles.

Tile Roofing FAQ

Should I replace the tile or just the underlayment?
If the tile is intact, replacing the underlayment and relaying the existing tile is usually the smart move. We'll tell you honestly which your roof needs after inspecting it.
Can you match old or discontinued tile?
Often yes, through salvage, blending, or closely compatible profiles. We handle color and profile matching for HOA appearance requirements.
Is clay or concrete tile better for the coast?
Both perform well here. Clay holds color longer and resists salt beautifully; concrete is heavier and cost-effective. The right choice depends on your home and budget.
How disruptive is a tile underlayment re-roof?
We stage carefully, protect landscaping, and keep the site tidy. Timelines depend on roof size and complexity, which we'll lay out in your estimate.
Do you convert tile roofs to shingle?
Yes, when a homeowner wants to reduce weight or cost. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs before you decide.
