Eastvale, CA
Tile and slate roofing in Eastvale
The most common tile job is not a replacement at all. It is a lift-and-relay: the same tile comes off, new underlayment goes down, the tile goes back.

Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a tile and slate job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- The condition and age of the underlayment beneath
- Whether battens are being replaced at the same time
- What percentage of tile breakage they expect and how it is priced
- Fastener specification, especially near salt air
- Whether the tile can be salvaged and relaid
Underlayment life under tile is typically twenty to thirty years. The tile above it is rated for fifty or more. Plan for one relay in the life of the roof.
Slate wants copper or stainless fasteners and a crew who has done it before. Steel nails on a slate roof is a hundred-year covering held down by a thirty-year fixing.
Matching discontinued tile is the real constraint. Salvaging what is there is usually cheaper and always closer.
Locally
Close behind that: ember intrusion through vents and open eaves. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
About tile and slate here
What warranty should I expect?
Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the material for its rated life, but only if it was installed to their specification. The contractor covers workmanship, commonly five to ten years, and only for as long as they are trading.
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Often you legally can, and it is usually a poor idea. Overlaying hides the condition of the decking, adds weight, shortens the life of the new shingles by trapping heat, and doubles the cost of the next tear-off.
Do you cover the whole Riverside County area?
We match across Eastvale and the neighbouring communities in Riverside County. Put the ZIP of the property in and it will route to whoever actually covers it.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, in nearly every jurisdiction a re-roof is permitted work. A contractor who suggests skipping it is telling you something useful about how they work.

No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
