Common questions about tile roof leaks, underlayment life and reset work on concrete and clay tile roofs in Phoenix, AZ.
Older felt underlayment typically lasts 15 to 25 years in this climate, depending on sun exposure and attic ventilation. Modern synthetic and high-temperature membranes last considerably longer. Since the tile itself can last 50 years or more, most tile roofs need at least one underlayment replacement in their lifetime.
In most cases yes. Concrete and clay tile that is not cracked or delaminated is removed, stacked on the roof or on the ground, and reinstalled after the new underlayment is down. Expect a small percentage of breakage, which is replaced with matching tile.
Not necessarily. It may be a single broken tile or a failed pipe boot, which is a straightforward repair. An inspection tells you whether the underlayment is still serviceable across the rest of the roof or has reached the end of its life, and we tell you plainly which one it is.
