Tile Roofing & Hotmop
Tile is the right roof for this valley — it shades the deck, it shrugs off UV, and it lasts decades. The catch is that the tile is not what keeps water out. The underlayment beneath it is, and it ages faster than the tile above.

Lift, reset, and save the tile
On a large share of the tile roofs we see, the tile is in good condition and the underlayment underneath is brittle and cracking. Rather than send sound tile to landfill, we carefully lift and stack it, strip and replace the underlayment, replace any broken pieces, and reset the roof.
It costs less than an all-new tile roof, keeps the look of the house exactly as it was, and resets the real waterproofing layer — which is the part that was failing.
Details that decide how long it lasts
Tile roofs leak at their details, not their fields: hip and ridge, valleys, headwall and sidewall flashing, and penetrations. We flash rather than caulk, use proper valley metal, and mortar or mechanically attach ridge according to the system and the wind exposure.
Foot traffic breaks more tile in this valley than weather does. When we service a tile roof, our crews walk it correctly and we replace anything that breaks in the process.
Tile Roofing & Hotmop — common questions
01 How long does tile underlayment last in the desert?
It varies with the product and exposure, but underlayment is the limiting factor on nearly every desert tile roof — a roof whose tile still looks perfect can be well past due for underlayment replacement.
