We handle clay, concrete and slate tile roofing in South Gate, California, for homes and commercial buildings.
We assess the covering, underlayment and decking before recommending work. You may need a targeted roof repair, underlayment replacement beneath suitable existing tiles, or a full roof replacement. We can explain what each option involves for your property.
Tile roof work across the affected structures
Name every structure the work will touch. South Gate's residential reroof checklist asks for a plot plan identifying the structures on the property.
Tell us what covering sits on each one, because existing layers on those roofs shape what comes next.
The next question is whether that covering comes off, since a tear-off strips it to the deck. If the tile comes off, its condition decides whether it can go back on.
Tile reuse and roofing over an existing covering
A lift and relay renews the underlayment beneath tile you keep. A roof-over instead leaves the old covering in place under a new one, so the two scopes differ.
Underlayment is the waterproof layer beneath tile or shingle, and reaching it means lifting the tile off in sections. Once the tile is off, we check the sheathing and replace the rotted parts. New underlayment goes down after that.
Restacking your original tile comes last, and it depends on what we find. We put back only the pieces that are suitable.

City review and permit help in South Gate
Take your actual project to the city before you lock a scope. The city's residential reroof checklist flags additional review when a proposal roofs over an existing covering. That is a review step, not a decision about your roof.
South Gate answers the permit question for your project, including whether it is approved. We help you pull the roofing permit from the city or whichever authority has jurisdiction.
Tile roof cost
How much does a tile roof cost in California?
Cost depends on scope, so a free estimate for your own roof is more useful than an average. Roof area, the number of stories, how steep the roof is and existing layers all change the scope. So does rot under the covering, and whether the tile has to come off and go back on.
How do you replace the underlayment on a tile roof?
We lift tile, strip the old underlayment, and replace rotted boards before laying new underlayment. Tile that suits reuse goes back on top. This differs from a roof-over, which puts a new covering over the old one.
Can tile roofs be repaired?
Yes, a small tile or flashing fault may need a repair rather than a new roof. Say which roof has the fault and which other buildings you want included. That makes the limits clear before you compare a repair with a full reroof.
