Tile roof work in Laguna Woods, CA
Tile roofs fail from underneath. The tile you are looking at can be in perfect condition over underlayment that gave up a decade ago.

Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a tile and slate job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- The condition and age of the underlayment beneath
- Fastener specification, especially near salt air
- Whether battens are being replaced at the same time
- Whether the tile can be salvaged and relaid
- What percentage of tile breakage they expect and how it is priced
Broken or slipped tiles are a maintenance item, not an emergency, provided the underlayment beneath is still sound.
Ask specifically how many tile or slate roofs the crew completed last year. The honest number is often small.
Walking a tile roof breaks tile. That is not carelessness, it is physics, and any honest contractor will tell you a small percentage will be lost and replaced.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: enough salt in the air to matter to fasteners over twenty years. Nobody notices until a vent collar rusts through or a gutter hanger lets go, and by then the flashing is the same age.
About tile and slate here
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Codes in most places allow two layers. That does not make it wise. You lose the chance to see the deck, and the next roofer has twice as much to remove.
Do you cover the whole Orange County area?
We match across Laguna Woods and the neighbouring communities in Orange County. Put the ZIP of the property in and it will route to whoever actually covers it.
Why three quotes and not one?
One quote is a number with no context. Three gives you a range, and the conversation about why they differ is where you learn what you are actually buying.
What warranty should I expect?
Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the material for its rated life, but only if it was installed to their specification. The contractor covers workmanship, commonly five to ten years, and only for as long as they are trading.
