Underlayment Replacement in Chandler

Under every tile roof is a layer of underlayment, and that layer, not the tile, is what keeps the water out. The tile shields it from the sun, but after enough Arizona summers the underlayment dries out, cracks and starts letting water through, often while the tile on top still looks fine.

Replacing it means lifting the tile, tearing out the old underlayment and checking the wood decking, replacing any boards that have gone soft. Then we lay new underlayment, renew worn flashings at the edges, valleys and vents, and set your tile back in place, swapping out any broken pieces as we go. You keep the tile you have, with a fresh layer beneath it to keep the water out.

Ceiling stains, slipped tiles or a tile roof that has been on for twenty years or more are all good reasons to have it checked. We will get up on the roof and tell you whether the underlayment needs replacing now or still has a few years left.
