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.
- Fastener specification, especially near salt air
- What percentage of tile breakage they expect and how it is priced
- Whether battens are being replaced at the same time
- The condition and age of the underlayment beneath
- Whether the tile can be salvaged and relaid
Underlayment life under tile is typically twenty to thirty years. The tile above it is rated for fifty or more. Plan for one relay in the life of the roof.
Matching discontinued tile is the real constraint. Salvaging what is there is usually cheaper and always closer.
Slate wants copper or stainless fasteners and a crew who has done it before. Steel nails on a slate roof is a hundred-year covering held down by a thirty-year fixing.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: the autumn offshore winds, which find anything already loose. These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
About tile and slate here
Are you a roofing company?
No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.
How quickly will someone call?
Usually within the hour during working hours. If you marked the job as an emergency it goes to the front of the queue and is normally picked up faster than that.
I rent. Can I use this?
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
Do you cover the whole Orange County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Laguna Hills and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.

No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
