Roof tiles can last 50 years or more, but the underlayment beneath them wears out decades sooner. We lift your original tiles, replace the underlayment and flashings, then put your roof back exactly the way it should look.
Many homeowners assume an older tile roof has to be completely replaced. In reality, the tiles themselves often remain in good condition while the underlayment underneath is the part that has worn out.
A tile lift and relay involves carefully removing your existing roof tiles, replacing the roofing underlayment and flashings, then reinstalling the original tiles. Because tiles can last 50 years or more while felt underlayment typically lasts around 30 years, a large number of tile roofs across Southern California are reaching exactly this stage right now.

Roof tiles often last 50 years or more, so on many aging roofs the tiles are still in good condition even when leaks are developing. We inspect the roof first, and any broken tiles we find are replaced during the project while the rest are reinstalled.
Felt underlayment typically lasts around 30 years, while the tiles above it can last 50 or more. That gap is why so many tile roofs throughout Southern California, including here in Wildomar and Temecula, are now reaching the lift and relay stage at around 25 to 35 years old.
