Full roof tile relay & sectional repairs
Full tile roof relay
A full tile relay (or lift and relay) is a roof restoration process where existing concrete or clay tiles are removed, the underlayment is replaced, damaged wood/flashing is fixed, and the original tiles are reinstalled.
Key Details of a Full Tile Relay
- Process: Contractors remove all tiles, install new high-quality synthetic underlayment, replace broken tiles and rotten wood, and clean the area.
- When to Consider: Ideal when the tiles are still in good shape, but the roof is experiencing leaks due to aged, brittle, or torn felt paper.
- Considerations: If a significant number of tiles are broken or brittle, a full replacement may be more cost-effective. The process is labor-intensive, requiring experienced professionals to avoid a "patchy" look.
Tile section repair
This involves either replacing damaged, cracked, or hollow tiles or repairing them in place using epoxy and color-matched, specialized fillers. For broken or loose tiles, the process includes removing old grout with a specialized tool, chipping out the damaged tile, cleaning the substrate, and setting a new tile with thin-set mortar.
Underlayment replacement
Repairing damaged tile underlayment involves removing the overlying tile and cutting out the damaged section to the center of the nearest joists, and securing a new, matching-thickness piece of underlayment with screws. Rotted wood or moldy underlayment is usually caused by leaks, requiring the damaged area to be completely removed. If the underlayment is intact but tiles are cracked, the issue may be flexing, requiring additional support or a stronger underlayment.
Exposed underlayment
Synthetic tile underlayment exposed to the elements generally lasts 3 to 6 months for high-quality synthetics, while felt paper underlayment should be covered quickly, ideally on the same day, as it breaks down rapidly. Extended exposure to UV rays and rain leads to degradation, reducing the overall lifespan of the roof.

Shingle Tear-Off Process
- Site Preparation: Protect landscaping and siding with tarps. Set up a dumpster for debris.
- Removal: Use a roofing shovel or garden fork to lift old shingles, typically starting from the ridge (top) and working down, or from the bottom up, depending on roof safety.
- Deck Inspection: Remove all old nails, felt, and flashing. Inspect for, and replace, rotten or damaged plywood decking.
- Cleanup: Clear all debris, leaving a clean, solid wood deck.
Shingle Installation Process
- Underlayment: Install synthetic underlayment over entire roof.
- Drip Edge & Starter: Install metal drip edge on eaves and rakes, followed by starter shingles along the edges to prevent water infiltration.
- Shingle Application: Install shingles using a nail gun, typically staggering them for a proper pattern.
- Flashing & Ridge: Install flashing around chimneys and vents. Finish the ridge with hip and ridge cap shingles.
Things to look for
IS YOUR ROOF SHOWING THESE
WARNING SIGNS?
Cracked, brittle shingles and missing granules indicate that your roof may be nearing the end of its lifespan. When the asphalt is exposed, the roof becomes prone to leaks, moisture damage, and further deterioration.
At this stage, repairs may no longer hold up and a full replacement is often necessary to protect your home.
