We've got an exciting one coming up. A tile underlayment replacement on a beautiful tile-roof home, and we're doing it with a peel-and-stick underlayment system that we're really confident in. This isn't your standard felt paper setup. It's a modern, self-adhering membrane designed specifically for long-term performance under tile roofs.
Here's the thing most homeowners don't realize - the tiles on your roof aren't actually what's keeping water out. The underlayment is. The tiles protect it from UV and physical damage, but that membrane underneath is your real line of defense. When it fails, you're looking at leaks, deck damage, and a much bigger bill than if you'd caught it early.
That's exactly why we're switching to a peel-and-stick system for this job. It bonds directly to the deck with no gaps or wrinkles, which means no pathways for water to sneak through. It's also self-sealing around fasteners, which is a huge deal in areas with extreme heat cycling. The system we're using is backed by a 30-year warranty, which tells you everything you need to know about how it's built.
Tile roofs are a long-term investment. The right underlayment keeps them performing the way they should for decades. We take residential roof maintenance and roof replacement work seriously because cutting corners on something like underlayment creates problems that don't show up right away - but they always show up eventually.
Stay tuned as this one gets underway. If your tile roof is getting up there in age or you've noticed any signs of moisture inside your home, this is the kind of work worth looking into sooner rather than later.
