Who it's for

Good fit for owners of Spanish, Mediterranean, hillside, and coastal homes with tile roof systems.

SunCraft scopes this work with photos, roof-condition notes, material fit, and a plain recommendation. The point is to make the decision obvious before the crew is on site.

Typical scope

  • broken tile replacement
  • underlayment evaluation
  • valley and flashing repair
  • tile reset and matching

What this service actually solves

Why tile roofs usually outlast their underlayment.

Clay and concrete tiles can last 50+ years. The underlayment underneath rarely does. Most 'tile roof leaks' are really underlayment failures showing up through intact tiles. A tile inspection has to separate tile condition from underlayment age, and the recommendation depends on which one is actually failing.

The decision: Tile reset with new underlayment, partial replacement, or full reroof with the existing tiles relaid where possible. Many tile projects save the tiles and replace only what is underneath.

What SunCraft checks for tile roofing

  • Tile condition (broken, slipped, missing, mismatched)
  • Underlayment age and visible signs of deterioration
  • Valley and flashing condition under the tile field
  • Tile attachment, batten condition, and ridge tile mortar
  • Penetrations and how the tile is detailed around them

Common questions

About Tile roofing.

Answers to the questions most owners ask before approving roof work. Reach out if your situation needs a different conversation.

Can my old tiles be reused if the underlayment is replaced?

Often yes. Many South Bay tile roofs have tile that is in good shape but underlayment that is at the end of its life. The inspection determines how much of the existing tile can be cleaned, sorted, and reused.

How do I find matching replacement tiles?

Discontinued tile profiles are common. SunCraft sources from salvage, manufacturer reissue programs, or relocates tiles from less-visible roof faces when matching is critical. The inspection notes mismatch risk before the project starts.
