Tile Roof Underlayment Replacement in Central Florida

Concrete and clay tile lasts 50+ years. The underlayment beneath it dries out and cracks at year 20-25 under Florida UV and heat — that is why a 22-year-old tile roof leaks while the tile itself is still perfect.

The lift-and-re-lay process

1. Drone and attic inspection to confirm underlayment failure rather than broken tile.
2. Carefully remove and stack the existing tile on the roof or on site.
3. Tear off the failed underlayment down to the deck and re-nail decking to current code.
4. Install high-temperature peel-and-stick membrane rated for Florida heat.
5. Replace all flashings, valley metal, and pipe collars.
6. Re-lay the original tile with 5-10% new tile for breakage.
7. Final walk-through with photo documentation and written warranty.
