Expert Tile Roof Repair & Leak Detection in the Bay Area
While clay and concrete tiles are incredibly durable, the components underneath them — specifically the felt underlayment, valley flashings, and wood battens — deteriorate over time. We diagnose the root cause of every leak and restore your tile roof to its optimal, watertight condition.
Broken, Slipped, or Missing Tiles
Wind, fallen branches, foot traffic from satellite installers, or simple age can crack or displace individual tiles. A single missing tile exposes the underlayment beneath it to direct UV radiation, which rapidly degrades the waterproofing layer and leads to leaks within months.
We source exact-match replacement tiles to seamlessly restore your roof's aesthetic and structural barrier. For discontinued tile profiles, we maintain relationships with salvage yards and specialty suppliers across California to find matching tiles. When an exact match is unavailable, we can strategically relocate tiles from less visible areas and use the closest match in those hidden spots.
- Exact-match tile sourcing from local & national suppliers
- Salvage & relocation strategies for discontinued profiles
- Proper re-seating with corrosion-resistant fasteners
- Adjacent tile inspection to catch developing cracks
Rusted Valleys & Flashing Failures
Water naturally pools in valleys and around penetrations — these are the highest-risk areas on any tile roof. Over 15 to 25 years, the original galvanized valley metal oxidizes and develops pinhole leaks that allow water to seep beneath the tiles undetected. The damage often goes unnoticed until water stains appear on interior ceilings.
We carefully lift the surrounding tiles, remove the failed rusted flashing, install advanced ice-and-water shield barriers underneath, and install heavy-duty pre-painted valley metal designed to last the remaining life of the tile system. Every tile is carefully reinstalled with new fasteners to ensure a seamless, leak-free result.
Batten & Underlayment Restoration (Tile Lift & Reset)
If your tiles are in great shape but the underlying felt has rotted, our Lift & Reset service saves you thousands of dollars by salvaging your existing tiles instead of buying new ones.
1. Careful Tile Removal
Our crew methodically removes and stacks each tile by section, protecting them from breakage. We inventory the tiles and note any that need individual replacement.
2. Underlayment & Batten Replacement
We strip the deteriorated felt paper and rotted wood battens, inspect the decking for damage, replace compromised sheathing, and install new high-temperature self-adhering underlayment with fresh pressure-treated battens.
3. Tile Reinstallation
Your original tiles are cleaned (if needed) and reinstalled with new corrosion-resistant fasteners. The result is a fully restored waterproof system using your existing tiles — at roughly 40–60% the cost of a full replacement.
