Tile Roof Replacement in Huntsville, TX

Tile is heavy and installation-sensitive. Often the tiles outlast the underlayment beneath them, so replacement can mean lifting tile, renewing the underlayment and reinstalling or replacing.

On a tile roof, the tiles shed most of the water but the underlayment underneath is the layer that actually keeps the house dry, and it ages faster than the tile does. Many tile replacements are really underlayment replacements with the sound tiles lifted and relaid. Tile is also heavy, so the structure has to be confirmed before a heavier tile replaces a lighter one.

How it works, step by step

1. Tiles are sampled and the underlayment condition is checked at edges and valleys, where failures start.
2. Sound tiles are lifted and stacked for reuse, failed underlayment and battens are replaced, and flashing is renewed.
3. Tiles are relaid with new and matched replacements where needed, and ridges and hips are finished to shed water properly.

Repair the underlayment or replace the whole tile roof

Many tile roofs only need the underlayment renewed, which is major work but keeps sound tiles in service, covered under roof repair when the area is small. Full replacement makes sense when tiles themselves are spalling, slipping or no longer made in a matching profile.
