Quality & Engineering

Architectural Elegance with Multi-Decade Durability

Tile roofs are an iconic signature of Northern California architecture, renowned for their distinctive beauty, fire resistance, and ability to keep homes cool in hot summer climates. However, a tile roof is only as durable as the waterproof underlayment beneath it.

Surety Roofing specializes in both new tile installations and 'Tile Lift & Relays' (tile resets). We carefully remove existing tiles, replace aged 30-pound felt with heavy-duty commercial underlayment and new battens, and reinstall your authentic tiles.

Clay & Concrete Profiles

Spanish barrel, mission S-tile, villa, and modern flat slate-look concrete tiles.

Dual-Layer Underlayment

Heavyweight modified bitumen or synthetic tile underlayment engineered for 40+ years.

Rot-Proof Elevated Battens

Elevated batten systems that allow airflow and water drainage beneath tiles.

Natural Thermal Mass

Tile air channels create natural insulation, lowering attic temperatures by up to 20°F.

Class A Fire Resistance

Completely non-combustible material offering the highest wildfire safety.

Tile Lift & Relay (Restoration)

Cost-effective reuse of existing tiles while replacing the failed underlayment beneath.

Diagnostic Checklist

Signs You May Need Tile Roofing

If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule an on-site inspection immediately to protect your home.

Cracked or Slipped Tiles

Displaced or broken tiles expose the underlying felt membrane directly to sun and rain.

Underlayment Older Than 20 Years

Even if tiles look pristine, felt underlayment beneath degrades after 20 to 25 years.

Mortar Deterioration at Ridge Caps

Crumbling cement mortar around ridge tiles allows wind-driven rain penetration.

Debris Buildup in Tile Channels

Pine needles and silt clogging tile interlocks force water sideways under the roof.
