Tile Roofing

Tile roofs, specified for Paradise Valley.

The dominant roof type in the town. Concrete, clay, and heritage tile installed with the underlayment, fastening, and detailing the climate actually requires.

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.

Reserve specification

What's different about how we deliver this work.

Synthetic high-temp underlayment

Specified for the Sonoran heat load — the most common cause of tile-roof underlayment failure in Paradise Valley is heat, not water.

Profile-matched repair

We source heritage and discontinued profiles rather than swapping in mismatched tile to save a day on the schedule.

Heat-loaded west-elevation detailing

Additional flashing and fastening on the west exposure — where the heat-and-UV load is meaningfully higher than the rest of the roof.

Manufacturer-certified install

Eagle, Boral, US Tile, Ludowici — installed to certified specifications so the manufacturer warranty registers cleanly.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

  • The tile itself — concrete, clay, or specialty — will outlast the structure. The underlayment beneath is the consumable component. With a properly specified synthetic high-temperature underlayment, expect 25–35 years before reinstallation.

  • Almost always. Where the profile is current we order through the manufacturer; where the profile is discontinued we source from heritage suppliers and salvage networks. We will not swap in a generic tile to save schedule.

  • Yes. Replacement-in-kind is generally permitted; alterations to color or profile require submittal. We handle the submission process directly.
