Tile is the system, not the topcoat.
On a Paradise Valley tile roof the visible tile is what most homeowners think of as the roof. It isn't. The tile is a wear surface and a shedding layer. The waterproof component is the underlayment beneath it, and that is where most failures in this climate begin.
A standard 30-pound felt under concrete tile begins UV-degrading within a few summers. By year ten, what looks like an intact roof from the curb has an underlayment beneath it that is brittle and no longer waterproof. The fix is a synthetic high-temperature underlayment, properly fastened, with the right detailing at valleys, penetrations, and the heat-loaded west elevation.
Manufacturers we install.
Eagle Roofing Products and Boral concrete tile across the standard residential profiles. US Tile and Ludowici clay tile for traditional and Mediterranean architecture. Heritage clay profiles sourced for restorations where replacement-in-kind is the right answer for the architecture and the town's review process.
Reroofing a tile system.
On most Paradise Valley reroofs the existing tile is salvageable and the underlayment is the consumable. We strip the field, evaluate the deck, replace the underlayment with a synthetic high-temperature system, and re-lay the tile to the original pattern. Where the tile is broken, weathered out, or discontinued we source profile-matched replacements rather than swapping in a generic tile.
