Underlayment is Key

The Arizona Tile Roof Reality

Many homeowners don't realize that concrete and clay tiles are just water shedders. The real waterproofing happens at the underlayment level. When this underlayment bakes under the desert sun and cracks, leaks occur even if your tiles look perfect.

FAQ

Tile Roofing Questions Answered

Water naturally gets under tile joints and flows down the underlayment. If your underlayment is 15–20 years old, it becomes brittle and cracks. Water enters these cracks and leaks into your ceiling, despite tiles looking perfectly fine.

Yes! In most cases, concrete and clay tiles remain perfectly solid. Our Remove and Reinstall (R&R) process saves you thousands of dollars by reusing your original tiles and replacing only the failed underlayment underneath.

A typical residential tile underlayment project takes 3 to 5 days, depending on roof size and the extent of wood deck repairs needed. We minimize disruptions and clean up daily.

Traditional organic felt is made of paper saturated with asphalt, which rots and cracks quickly. Synthetic underlayment is made of durable polymers that resist tearing, won't rot, and stand up to high desert heat, offering twice the lifespan.
