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 Underlayment: common questions
Why replace just the underlayment?
It is typically the first layer to wear out, while tile often remains serviceable.
Will some tile break?
Some breakage is normal while lifting tile. Replacements are matched as closely as possible.
