When a roof is done

Asphalt shingles in this sun last about twenty years. Underlayment under clay or concrete tile lasts twenty to thirty. A flat roof coating lasts ten to fifteen. Once a roof passes those marks, repairs stop holding and the smart money goes into a new system.

Other signs are granules filling the gutters, shingles that curl at the corners, soft spots underfoot, and daylight in the attic.

The tile roof shortcut people miss

Clay and concrete tile can last a hundred years. The felt under it cannot. On thousands of homes across the San Gabriel Valley the right job is a lift and relay. The crew takes the tile off by hand, stacks it, replaces the underlayment and flashing, then sets the same tile back down.

A lift and relay costs less than new tile and keeps the look of the street. Ask every bidder to price it that way before you agree to a full tear off.

What the crew does day by day

Day one is tear off and deck repair. Day two is underlayment, drip edge and flashing. Day three and four are the roof material itself. The last day is cleanup, a magnet sweep for nails, and the city inspection.

Rain, a steep pitch, or a second story slows all of that down. A crew that promises a full roof in one day on a large home is cutting something out.
