Coastal tile installs need salt-rated fasteners and flashing. Terracotta and Spanish tile retain their color well in coastal sun; concrete tile fades faster. Lift-and-relay is common here — the tiles last forever, but the underlayment fails at 25 years.

Why does the Coastal region matter for this service?
Coastal tile installs need salt-rated fasteners and flashing. Terracotta and Spanish tile retain their color well in coastal sun; concrete tile fades faster. Lift-and-relay is common here — the tiles last forever, but the underlayment fails at 25 years.
How long does a tile roof last in San Diego?
The tile itself — concrete, clay, or Spanish — lasts 50–100+ years. What fails is the underlayment beneath (15–30 years) and flashing (20–40 years). Most 'my tile roof is leaking' calls aren't about the tile. Lift-and-relay replaces the failed underlayment while keeping the good tile.
Can you match tiles on a partial repair?
Usually yes. For current production tiles (most Eagle, Boral, MCA profiles), we source fresh. For older or discontinued tiles, we use salvage from our stock or from controlled demolition. Perfect color match is rare on 20+ year roofs because of sun fading; visible-from-street match is usually achievable.
