Tile Roofing in Casa Grande
Most tile roofs fail underneath, not on top. We lift tiles, find where water is really getting in, and fix that spot or the whole underlayment so your home stays dry. You get a clear answer on repair or relay before any work starts.
Tile Roofs Last Long, the Layer Under Them Does Not
Clay and concrete tiles can outlive the people who installed them. The underlayment beneath them is a different story. Years of summer heat dry out felt underlayment until it cracks and lets water reach the roof deck, even while every tile above still looks fine.
That is why we start by finding the cause. A drip over your living room might come from a cracked tile, a rusted valley, a failed pipe flashing or underlayment that has simply worn out. Each one needs a different fix, and guessing wrong means paying twice.
We are an Arizona KB-2 licensed contractor, and we handle tile work on homes across Casa Grande, Maricopa, Coolidge, Eloy, Arizona City and Sacaton.
What Our Tile Roofing Work Covers
- 01
Finding the leak source
We lift tiles around the problem area and trace water back to where it started. We take photos so you can see what we found.
- 02
Cracked and slipped tile replacement
We swap broken tiles and reset ones that have slid. When your profile is hard to find, we look for a close match and tell you honestly how it will look.
- 03
Underlayment replacement (lift and relay)
We remove the tiles, stack them on the roof, replace the worn underlayment and battens as needed, then lay the good tiles back down. Your existing tiles are reused wherever they are sound.
- 04
Flashing and valleys
Valley metal, pipe jacks, wall flashing and chimney flashing are where many tile roofs leak. We replace what is rusted or loose instead of sealing over it.
- 05
Full tile roof installation
For a new tile roof or a full tear-off, we install new underlayment, battens, flashing and tile. Our 10-year labor warranty covers the workmanship on the job.
Questions about Tile Roofing?
Call(520) 645-3253Signs Your Tile Roof Needs Attention
Stains on the ceiling
A brown ring on drywall usually means water has been getting past the tile for a while. The stain is rarely right under the actual entry point.
Cracked or slipped tiles
Foot traffic from solar or air conditioner work often breaks tiles. Gaps let sun and water reach the underlayment directly.
Brittle underlayment at the eaves
If you can see torn or crumbling black felt at the edge of the roof, the rest of it is likely aging the same way.
Rust in the valleys
Corroded valley metal can let water run straight under the tile during a heavy rain.
Roof is 20 or more years old
Older felt underlayment tends to wear out around this age even when tiles look perfect. It is worth having us look before a leak shows up inside.
How a Tile Roof Job Goes
- 1
We talk on the phone
You tell us what you are seeing and how old the roof is. We set a time to come out.
- 2
We find the cause
We walk the roof carefully, lift tiles where needed and check the underlayment, flashing and deck. You get photos and a plain explanation of what is wrong.
- 3
You get a written, line-item estimate
We lay out whether a targeted repair will hold or the underlayment needs replacing, and why. If a permit is needed, we pull it.
- 4
We do the work and protect your home
We cover landscaping and keep tiles stacked safely as we go. Old underlayment, broken tile and nails are hauled away, and we sweep the yard and driveway before we leave.
What Moves the Cost of Tile Roofing
Until we have seen what sits under your tiles, any number would be a guess. After we look, your written estimate breaks the job into separate lines, so labor, materials and any permit each show up on their own. Here is what tends to change the total most.
- Repair or full relay
- Fixing one valley or swapping a few tiles is a small job. Replacing underlayment across the whole roof means every tile comes off and goes back on.
- Roof size and pitch
- A bigger roof takes more labor and more material. Steeper slopes also slow the work, because each step has to be made safely.
- Tile type and availability
- Concrete, clay, flat and S-tile each handle differently. A discontinued profile can take extra time to track down.
- Condition of the deck
- Soft or rotted decking has to be replaced before new underlayment goes on. If we find it, we photograph it so you can see why it is on the estimate.
- Flashing and permits
- New valley metal, pipe jacks and wall flashing add to the job. Larger work may also need a permit, which we pull when it applies.
Tile Roofing Questions
My tiles look fine. Why is my roof leaking?
Tiles shed most of the water, but the underlayment beneath them is what keeps your home dry. When that layer cracks from age and heat, water gets through even with perfect tiles on top. Rusted valleys and loose flashing are the other common causes.
Can you reuse my existing tiles?
Usually, yes. In a lift and relay we take the tiles off, replace what is underneath and set the sound tiles back in place. Broken ones are replaced with the closest match we can find, and we tell you honestly how it will look.
Do I need the whole underlayment replaced or just a repair?
It depends on what we find. If the felt is still flexible and the problem is one flashing or a few cracked tiles, a repair can hold. If the felt is brittle across the roof, patching one spot just moves the leak somewhere else, and we will say so plainly.
Will walking on my roof break more tiles?
A tile can crack when weight lands in the wrong place. Our crew puts each foot down on the lower edge where the tile rests on the one beneath it, and we only cross the parts of the roof the job requires. Any tile we crack along the way gets replaced as part of the work, so you are not left with new damage.
Is the work warrantied?
Our tile roofing work comes with a 10-year labor warranty. We walk you through what it covers when we go over your estimate, so there are no surprises later.
