Tile, Shake & Slate Roofing
Specialty roofs installed and restored without wrecking the look of the house
A premium take on tile, shake & slate roofing
Tile, shake, and slate roofs are worth saving. On most tile roofs the tile is fine and the underlayment underneath is what failed, which means a lift-and-relay costs far less than a replacement and buys another few decades. We know how to walk a tile roof without breaking it, how to source matching profiles for discontinued tile, and how to detail shake and slate so the roof looks like it belongs on the house instead of like a repair. Whether it's a Spanish tile roof in Monterey or cedar shake in Carmel, we treat the existing character as part of the scope.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Clay and concrete tile installation, repair, and lift-and-relay
- Underlayment replacement with the original tile salvaged and reset
- Matched replacement tile sourced for discontinued profiles
- Cedar shake and natural slate installation and restoration
- Correct walking and staging technique so we don't create new breakage
- Written workmanship warranty on the finished roof
Four steps from first call to final walkthrough
Assessment
We determine whether the tile or slate itself is failing or whether it's the underlayment beneath it, and show you the difference.
Scope & Salvage Plan
A written scope covering how much existing material can be reused and what has to be sourced to match.
Lift, Rebuild, Relay
Material carefully removed and stacked, the roof rebuilt underneath, then the tile or slate reset course by course.
Detail Check
We inspect every hip, valley, and ridge, replace any broken pieces, and walk the finished roof with you.
