Tile roof replacement

Most of what makes a tile roof last sits under the tile.

Tile is durable, but not permanent: older concrete tile turns brittle and porous, clay cracks after years of foot traffic, and some roofs carry more patches than sound tile. When the tiles fail along with the underlayment, relaying them only puts worn material back on your house.

How we work

How we replace a tile roof

  1. Relay or replace? A straight answer.

    A roofer-led evaluation photographs the tile, flashing and underlayment, so the case is clear to you, not just to us. If your tiles can be saved, a tile lift & relay usually costs less and keeps the original look, and we’ll tell you so.

  2. The tile that suits your home.

    Replacement is your chance to choose the profile and color. We talk through the clay and concrete options and help you pick one that suits your home and budget.

    • Clay barrel or S tile
    • Flat or S concrete tile
    • Colors that suit your home’s style
  3. Built for sun, Santa Anas and winter rain.

    The old tile, underlayment and battens come off and the deck is checked and photographed while it’s exposed. Then the new system goes on layer by layer, exactly as the written scope describes.

    • New underlayment across the deck
    • Battens where the tile system calls for them
    • Flashings, valley metal and eave closures
    • Ridge and hip details finished
  4. A clean site and a walkthrough.

    Tile tear-offs are heavy, dusty work, so the site is kept clean throughout. At the end we walk the finished roof with you, share photos from each stage and go over our 10-year workmanship warranty (call for details).

Where leaks start

Why tile roofs leak when the tiles look fine

Tile is designed to shed water, but wind-driven rain and water moving beneath the tiles can still reach the details below. The underlayment, flashing and drainage have to work together.

Roofing reviews from the people we work for

Reviews from the people we roof for, on Google.

  • I was recommended this roofing company by a friend, and I’m really glad I went with them. I had a problem with water leaking into my attic from the flashing around the chimney, and the team was very helpful from the start. Tony was the roofer working with me, and he was always professional and friendly. He took care of resealing the flashing and chimney, which made the leak much better right away. He kept in touch with me after the work, and now we’re working on sealing the chimney even more to make sure everything is perfect. I feel confident that the team will get everything fixed up right. Based on my experience so far, I’d definitely give them five stars. Thanks to everyone there for their hard work!

  • I was looking to replace my shingles roof in Encino and contacted a few roofing companies in the neighborhood. Out of four roofers, Quality Roofing Specialist was the only one that worked with my budget as well as my schedule. Their work was fantastic, and we love the outcome. They exceeded my expectations. I will definitely recommend to friends.

Tile roof replacement questions, answered

Straight answers about tile roof replacement.

How much does a tile roof replacement cost?

It depends on the roof’s size, pitch and number of stories, whether you choose clay or concrete tile, and how much of the deck, underlayment and flashing needs replacing. If your tiles are still sound, a tile lift & relay usually costs less, because the tiles are reused. Your written scope and price come after a free roof evaluation, before work begins.

Do you pull the permits?

Yes. When your roofing project needs a building permit, we pull it for you.

How do I know my tile roof needs replacing, not relaying?

The tiles tell you. Widespread cracking, concrete tile that has gone soft or porous, or a patchwork of mismatched repairs usually points to replacement. If most tiles are sound and the trouble is underneath, a relay is often the better value, and a tile roof inspection shows which side of that line your roof is on.

Should I choose clay or concrete tile for my new roof?

It comes down to looks, weight and budget. Clay is the traditional choice for Spanish Revival architecture and holds its color well, while concrete comes in many colors and profiles and suits a wide range of home styles. We’ll walk you through both before anything goes into your written scope.

Can I replace my tile roof with a different roof type?

Yes. Some homeowners choose a shingle roof installation instead, while others want to keep the character tile gives their home. We’ll lay out the trade-offs in plain English, including how each option would look on your house.

Does the underlayment matter if the tile is brand new?

It matters most. Even new tile sheds water rather than sealing it out, so wind-driven rain that gets past the tiles depends on the underlayment and flashings to stop it. That’s why your scope covers those layers in as much detail as the tile you can see.
