Tile Roof Replacement

Tile Roof Replacement

A roof is more than just a canopy; it is a sophisticated system designed to shield your family and your assets from the unpredictable elements. In the Mediterranean-inspired landscapes of Southern California, few architectural features are as iconic or as functional as a tile roof. However, even the most robust clay or concrete tiles eventually reach a point where maintenance is no longer enough. At Overhead Roofing, we specialize in tile roof replacement services that combine old-world aesthetics with modern engineering to provide a lifetime of security.

Understanding the Lifecycle of Your Tile Roof

“weak link” in the system is typically the underlayment. This waterproof membrane sits beneath the tiles and acts as the primary barrier against moisture. Over decades of exposure to the intense California sun, this material can become brittle and lose its ability to shed water.

When the underlayment fails, water can begin to rot the wood decking and rafters long before you see a leak on your ceiling. Our tile roof replacement process involves a comprehensive “tear-off” where we remove the existing tiles and aging felt, inspect the wooden substrate for structural integrity, and install a modern, high-performance waterproofing system that meets or exceeds the California Building Standards Commission requirements.

Our Tile Roof Replacement Process

Comprehensive Structural Audit

Before the first tile is moved, we assess the "dead load" capacity of your home. Tile is heavy, clay and concrete can weigh between 600 and 1,100 pounds per square (100 sq. ft.). If you are upgrading from a lighter material to tile, our skilled craftsmen ensure your rafters and walls are engineered to support the weight safely.

Systematic Removal and Substrate Repair

We carefully remove the old tiles and dispose of them responsibly. Once the deck is exposed, we look for dry rot, termite damage, or sagging. Replacing damaged plywood at this stage is essential; a new roof is only as strong as the wood it sits upon. This focus on foundational integrity is what differentiates a standard job from an Overhead Roofing project.

Advanced Waterproofing Installation

We utilize premium, self-adhering modified bitumen underlayments or high-strength synthetic felts. Unlike the thin paper used in decades past, these modern materials are tear-resistant and provide a secondary layer of protection that can withstand even the heaviest seasonal rains.

Precision Tile Loading and Installation

The layout of a tile roof is a mathematical art. We calculate the "exposure" and "overlap" to ensure perfect water runoff. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners and high-quality flashing around chimneys and valleys, areas where most roof failures begin. Our proficient installation teams adhere to the strict guidelines set by the Tile Roofing Industry Alliance, ensuring your warranty remains fully intact.
