Tile Roof Replacement in San Bruno, CA

Tile roofs define the look of so many San Bruno neighborhoods, and a proper tile roof replacement protects that character while delivering a roof that can last half a century. Whether your home has concrete or clay tile, we handle the full replacement: tear-off, underlayment renewal, batten and flashing replacement, and careful installation of new tile matched to your home's original profile.

What This Service Includes

On most tile replacements, the tile itself outlives the underlayment beneath it. The critical work is what you cannot see: we strip the old tile (salvaging reusable pieces), replace the waterproofing underlayment, install new battens, flashings, and bird stops, then set the new tile to manufacturer specifications with proper headlap for our wind and rain patterns.

Signs You Need This Service

• Cracked, slipped, or missing tiles
• Leaks despite intact-looking tile (underlayment failure)
• Tile age of 25+ years on the original underlayment
• Deteriorated mortar at ridges and hips
• Sagging areas indicating batten or deck issues

How We Do It Right

We work with concrete tile in flat, S, and Mediterranean profiles and clay tile where the architecture calls for it. Every replacement includes a double-layer high-performance underlayment system, new valley metal, and upgraded ridge ventilation. Tile is heavy — we verify the structure can carry the load, which is rarely an issue on homes originally built for tile but always worth confirming.

Tile Roof Replacement for San Bruno Homes

Tile suits San Bruno's architecture and climate beautifully — but moisture that never fully dries, salt-air corrosion of flashings, and wind-driven rain punish the underlayment beneath the tile. Our replacements focus on the waterproofing system as much as the tile itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have to replace the tiles, or just the underlayment?

If the tile is in good structural condition, a 'lift and relay' — removing tile, replacing underlayment, and reinstalling the same tile — can save significant money. We assess tile condition honestly and recommend whichever approach makes sense.

How long does a tile roof last?

The tile itself can last 50 years or more. The underlayment beneath it typically lasts 20 to 30 years, which is why most tile replacements are really underlayment replacements with new or relayed tile.
