Why tile roofs leak
- Cracked or broken tiles from foot traffic, hail or falling branches
- Tiles slipped out of place
- Valley metal clogged with debris
- Underlayment dried out and cracking after many years
- Flashing at walls and chimneys pulling away
Repair options
Spot repair
Replace broken tiles, reset slipped tiles, clear valleys and reseal flashing.
Lift and relay
Remove tiles, replace underlayment and battens, and put the tiles back.
Walking on tile
Tile can crack when walked on incorrectly. Some breakage during any tile job is normal; we carry replacement tiles and replace broken pieces.
Matching tile
Many concrete tile profiles are still made. Older or discontinued colors can be hard to match exactly. We'll let you know before work starts.

Common questions
How long does tile underlayment last?
Often around 20 years for traditional felt; modern synthetics are designed to last longer.
Can I switch from tile to shingles?
Often, if the HOA allows it. Shingles weigh much less than tile.
