This project shows how you can reduce waste by re-using the existing roof tiles if they prove to be in good condition.  The roofing felt under this older concrete tile roof was deteriorating and causing leaks.  We had fixed several leaks over the years, but the owner finally decided that it was time to do the complete job!   We pulled up all the old tiles, installed all new HIGH QUALITY SBS modified fiberglass reinforced tile underlayment,   installed all new secondary flashings, then re-installed the old tiles replacing any tiles that broke or were damaged in the process.  Also we installed all new ridge caps to give the new roof a nice finish.  Once this was complete we power washed the roof tiles, then applied a concrete sealer to keep them sealed.  The new roof now has a 10 year warranty on the entire roof and many years of carefree life in it.

This roofing job was a challenge! When we removed the several layers of roofing that had been on this house since the beginning, we found serious termite and dry-rot damaged to the eaves and fascia boards. After removing and replacing all the damaged wood we were able to get down to the business of installing the new GAF/ELK shingle roof. The homeowner choose a lighter color shingle to be cooler inside the house in the summer months. The color goes well with the paint color of the house and trim.

On this roof,  open beam ceilings and old insulation board created unique challenges.  We removed all the old roofing and started fresh.  Some amount of wood repairs were necessary, and after those were completed we installed new 1” insulation board to keep the house cooler in the summer.  The owner choose a beautiful color for the new roof  called “Copper Canyon” by GAF/ELK.  Notice the low profile attic vents.  These vents made by O’Hagin are a  nice way to vent the attic while keeping them very unobtrusive to the look of the house.
