Tile Roof in Lakewood & Orange County

Clay and concrete tile roofs are built to last decades, but only if the underlayment underneath them is too. We repair, relay, and replace tile roofs the right way, without cutting corners on what you can’t see.

Most tile roof leaks aren’t caused by the tiles; they’re caused by underlayment that’s quietly failing underneath perfectly good-looking tile.

By the time you see water inside, it’s been getting in for a while.

Every Tile Roof Service, Done Right

 Tile Roof Relay

Removing your existing tiles, replacing the failing underlayment beneath them, and reinstalling the same tiles, extending your roof’s life without buying new tile.

Tile Roof Leak Repair

Tracking down leaks that hide underneath intact-looking tile and fixing them at the source.

Tile Roof Replacement

A full system replacement when the tiles themselves (not just the underlayment) have reached the end of their life.

Underlayment Replacement

The layer that actually keeps water out; most tile roof leaks start here, not at the tile.

Cracked or Broken Tile Repair

Replacing individual damaged tiles without disturbing the rest of your roof.

Ridge & Hip Tile Repair

Fixing loose or damaged tiles along ridges and hips, common weak points after storms or age.

Your Tiles Can Look Fine and Still Be Leaking

This is the single most misunderstood thing about tile roofs: the tile itself can last 50+ years, while the underlayment beneath it fails much sooner. A roof that looks perfect from the street can still be letting water in underneath.

Checklist:

  • Your underlayment is original and the roof is 20+ years old
  • Cracked, slipped, or missing tiles anywhere on the roof
  • Interior water stains, even though the tiles look intact
  • Moss, algae, or dark streaking across the tile
  • Visible sagging along the roofline
  • Debris or granules collecting in gutters

If your tile roof is aging and you’ve never had the underlayment checked, it’s worth finding out what’s really underneath before it becomes an interior problem.

FAQ

What's the difference between a tile relay and a full replacement?

A relay reuses your existing tiles with new underlayment underneath; a full replacement means new tile as well. Many tile roofs only need a relay, since the tile itself often outlasts the underlayment by decades.

How long does a tile roof underlayment last?

Most underlayment is rated for 20-30 years, even though the tile on top of it can last 50+ years, which is why relays are so common on older tile roofs.

Can you match my existing tile if some pieces are broken?

In most cases, yes. We source matching clay or concrete tile by color and profile whenever possible.

Is tile roofing more expensive to repair than shingle roofing?

It can require more specialized labor, but repairs are often targeted to individual tiles rather than larger sections, which can offset the cost difference.
