Tile Reset
Tile reset service that restores roof integrity by preserving original tile while replacing the failed underlayment beneath.
Best for: Tile roofs with sound tile and failing underlayment.
What the work includes

- Underlayment tear-off and replacement
- New flashings

- Replacements for breakage
What to expect, step by step
- 01
Inspect
We look at the tile, flashings, penetrations and, where accessible, the underlayment and attic side.
- 02
Written options
You get the scope in writing, including the reuse-or-replace question for tile.
- 03
Prepare and protect
Landscaping and walkways are protected and tile is lifted and staged carefully.
- 04
Rebuild the waterproofing
Underlayment and flashings are installed before tile goes back or new tile goes on.
- 05
Walk-through
We review the finished work with you and clean up the site.
What affects the estimate
We do not post price ranges because they would not be honest without seeing your roof. These are the things that move the number for this kind of work:
- Tile type and profile, and whether existing tile can be reused
- Condition of the underlayment and decking underneath
- Roof pitch, number of valleys, hips and penetrations
- Access for staging and storing tile on site
- Whether replacement tile has to be matched

Tile Reset: common questions
Is a reset as good as new tile?
It rebuilds the waterproofing layer; the tile's condition determines the rest. We assess tile before recommending it.
Are resets always possible?
Brittle or heavily damaged tile may not survive lifting. We will tell you during the inspection.
