Clay Tile Underlayment Replacement in Modesto

Lifting tile to replace felt is a different job than a shingle tear-off, and Modesto two-stories need serious staging to do it safely. If you need tile roofing in Modesto or nearby Ceres, Riverbank, Empire, and Salida, M&M Contractors Inc can inspect and estimate at no charge.

Clay and concrete tile are common on Spanish and Mediterranean-style homes. The tiles are the visible armor; the underlayment underneath is what actually keeps water out.

A practical sequence that works

We evaluate broken pieces, bird stops, mortar, flashings, and whether the underlayment is due for replacement (often a lift-and-relay project). Lifting tile to replace felt is a different job than a shingle tear-off, and Modesto two-stories need serious staging to do it safely.

Decisions to make before anyone starts

Before work starts, decide on material, color or layout, how you will live in the house, and who pulls the permit. Broken tiles are easy to see. Failed felt under 20-year-old tile is not — until a ceiling stain shows up after a storm.
