Beating the monsoon clock in Mesa! ⏰🌵
We're wrapping up a tile R&R project today over on East Navarro Avenue and the timing matters. Monsoon season is right around the corner, and this roof was overdue for serious attention. ⛈️
Here's what was going on:
The concrete tile was still in great shape — no need to spend on new tile. But underneath? The underlayment had failed prematurely. Not from age... it just wasn't the correct product for a tile roof (expertise matters when choosing a roofing contractor) 😬
Most homeowners don't realize this about tile roofs:
🏠 The tile is the armor on top
🛡️ The underlayment IS the actual waterproofing
If the underlayment fails, it doesn't matter how good the tile looks — water finds a way in. Especially during monsoon season.
What we're installing:
✅ Removed the failing original underlayment
✅ New Titanium UDL 50 synthetic underlayment
✅ New flashing throughout
✅ New battens
✅ Existing concrete tile carefully removed and reset
Why R&R is a smart move:
Tile R&R (Remove & Reset) is the cost-effective tile solution in Arizona roofing. When your tile is still in good shape but the underlayment is failing, you don't need a full replacement. You need the layer underneath rebuilt; properly this time. Same beautiful roof, brand new system beneath it, fraction of the cost. 💰
We also spotted cracked mud balls at the hip-to-ridge junctions — a common failure point that lets water sneak in. Replaced those too. 🔧
Beating the monsoons matters. Wind-driven rain, blowing dust, sudden downpours — your roof gets tested every storm. Getting this done BEFORE the season hits means this homeowner heads into summer protected. ☀️
