Oceanside Roof Pros provides professional concrete & clay tile roofing in Oceanside, CA for residential and commercial properties across north San Diego County. On a tile roof the tile is the umbrella and the underlayment is the roof. Almost every tile leak we chase here is a thirty-year-old organic felt gone to powder under perfectly sound concrete tile. That is why lift-and-relay is the usual answer.
A lift-and-relay means we stack and protect the existing tile, strip the failed felt, replace any deteriorated sheathing, install a two-layer or self-adhered underlayment rated for the exposure, rebuild the battens and the eave metal, then reset the same tile with new fasteners. The tile you like stays on the house and only the part that expired gets replaced, usually for meaningfully less than new tile.
Dead load is the argument we have with owners who want tile added where there is none. Concrete tile runs roughly nine and a half to eleven pounds per square foot against under three for a laminate shingle. On a mid-century addition or a shallow framed carport, that is a structural question for an engineer, not a preference question for a roofer. We say no often enough that it is worth putting in writing.
The detail that fails most on tile here is the eave. Anti-ponding metal is supposed to lift the first course and carry water out over the gutter. When it is missing or flattened, water sits in the pan at the coldest, dampest part of the roof and works backwards under the lap. We rebuild that edge on every relay, and birdstop and weep gaps go back in so the pan can drain and dry.
Where a tile slope meets a flat section the transition needs a real pan with a raised leg, the membrane run up under it, and the tile cut back so the water path stays open. Mortar packed into that joint is a very common repair on these houses and it is a dam, not a flashing. We cut it out and build the pan in metal instead.
Broken tiles get matched by profile and color where the run is still made, and salvaged from an inconspicuous slope where it is not. We keep the hip and ridge mortar and the weep gaps intact rather than sealing them solid, because a sealed hip traps what gets past the tile. Salvaged pieces go on the street-facing field and the new ones go somewhere nobody looks.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — torch-applied APP modified bitumen, two-ply SBS granulated cap sheet, sixty-mil hot-air-welded PVC membrane, tapered polyisocyanurate insulation, hot-mop built-up roofing with gravel surface, mineral-surfaced rolled roofing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Oceanside and nearby communities including Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Encinitas.

Materials, equipment and how we do concrete & clay tile roofing
The difference between concrete & clay tile roofing that lasts and concrete & clay tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with torch-applied APP modified bitumen, two-ply SBS granulated cap sheet, sixty-mil hot-air-welded PVC membrane, tapered polyisocyanurate insulation, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Oceanside job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in north San Diego County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
