We work on tile roofs in Alhambra, California. We handle clay, concrete, and slate. Call (323) 616-1483 when you want a free estimate on the work you are weighing.
We check the damaged area and the surrounding roof before recommending repairs or replacement. Ask us to explain which parts need work and whether your existing tiles can be reused.
Tile roof replacement and product selection
A tile replacement starts with the product you put back on the roof. Clay, concrete, and slate all sit under the word tile, and that label alone is not product documentation. The useful question is which tile you want, named as a product rather than a category.
Installing the covering is one job, and the repairs beneath it are another. A tear-off strips the roof to the deck rather than overlaying a new covering on the old. That is one route a full roof replacement can take.
We repair damaged decking, the boards beneath the roof covering. Rotted wood may need replacement when we remove the old roofing. We also check the flashing and repair damaged sections.
Product records for an Alhambra reroof
The City of Alhambra publishes a residential reroof energy guide with a permit-document checklist. Reading the city reroof energy guide is a sensible step once you have a tile product in mind. Tile covers several products, so take the checklist to the exact tile you plan to install.
We help property owners pull the required roofing permit from the city or another authority with jurisdiction. Tell us what the project involves. We can take that part on with you.
The deck and flashing beneath the chosen tile
A documented tile product does not settle what sits under it. Decking, flashing, and any reuse of your existing tile come down to condition.
Underlayment is the waterproof layer beneath tile or shingle. Metal flashing seals roof-to-wall, chimney, and valley transitions.
Whether your original tile can go back on depends on its actual condition and suitability. Call (323) 616-1483 with what you are seeing.
Underlayment replacement in order
Underlayment replacement, also called a lift and relay, runs in a set order:
- Lift the tile off in sections and stack it on site.
- Strip the failed underlayment down to the deck.
- Check the exposed sheathing and replace any rotted boards.
- Lay new underlayment.
- Restack the original tile.
When a repair is the question
Not every tile problem requires a reroof. Our roof repair work covers leaks, loose or slipped tiles, flashing and shingle patches. We welcome small jobs as well.
Our work covers residential and commercial buildings. If you are weighing a repair against replacement, the state of the underlayment and deck matters.
Roof inspections
Buyers in escrow ask us to verify a roof's condition. Insurers ask for an inspection before they renew or write coverage. Both are paid work, separate from the free sales estimate.
Tell us whether the request comes from a buyer or an insurer.

Tile roofing questions
How much should a new tile roof cost?
Cost depends on the scope of the work, so a free estimate is where a number comes from. Scope means squares, stories, pitch, rot under the covering, tile coming off and going back on, and existing layers. Which tile you choose is also a documentation decision, so check the city's reroof energy guide.
Can tile roofs be repaired?
Yes, slipped tiles, leaks and flashing can fall within small repair work. A product record for new tile does not settle that choice, because the existing deck and waterproof layer also matter. Check those conditions before deciding on replacement.
What does a roof inspection include?
An inspection examines roof condition and can produce a written report for an escrow buyer or insurer. It addresses the roof already in place. Product documentation for a proposed Alhambra reroof serves a separate purpose and does not establish the current roof's condition.
Tell us the tile you have in mind, the number of stories, and what the roof is doing. That gives a free estimate something solid to work from.
A free estimate starts with a call to (323) 616-1483. If you would rather write, send the details through our contact page.
