Frequently Asked Questions
Tile Roofing questions from Arizona homeowners — answered straight.
How long does a tile roof last in Arizona?
The tile itself can last 50 years or more. The underlayment beneath the tile is the limiting factor — it typically lasts 20 to 25 years in Arizona heat before it becomes brittle and cracks. A properly maintained tile roof (underlayment replaced on schedule, cracked tiles swapped, ridge caps repaired) can legitimately last the life of the house. The key is inspecting the underlayment before it fails, not after.
How do I know if my tile roof needs re-felting?
You often do not — until it leaks. That is why we recommend inspections for tile roofs 15 years and older. We lift representative tiles in multiple locations and check the underlayment directly. Dry, cracking felt that crumbles when flexed is past its life. We can show you photos of what we find. A re-felt costs significantly less than a full replacement and gives you another 20-plus years on the same tile.
Can individual cracked tiles be replaced without re-roofing?
Yes — provided the underlayment is still sound. We source color-match tile (or as close as possible for older profiles), remove the cracked units, and install new ones. If multiple tiles in the same area are cracked or the crack pattern suggests impact (hail or falling debris), we document it for a potential insurance claim before making the repair.
Is tile roofing better than shingles in Arizona?
For most Arizona applications, yes. Concrete tile handles desert UV, heat cycling, and hail impact better than asphalt shingles. Tile roofs can reduce attic temperatures significantly compared to dark shingles, which lowers cooling costs. The upfront cost is higher and weight needs to be considered on older structures, but the long-term value is better for the Arizona climate in most cases.
Does insurance cover tile roof re-felting?
Underlayment replacement by itself is typically not a covered insurance item — it is considered normal maintenance wear. However, if a storm event caused damage to the tile system (cracked tile, displaced caps, wind-lifted sections) and the inspection reveals that the underlayment has been breached as a result, the insurer may cover the re-felt as part of the storm damage scope. We document this properly so it gets addressed in the claim.
