What Goes Into a Tile Roof Tear-Off?

 What Goes Into a Tile Roof Tear-Off?

Tile roofs are beautiful and durable, but when it’s time for replacement, the tear-off process is more complex than shingles.

Here’s what homeowners can expect: Protecting Your Property

Heavy tiles mean more debris. We use tarps, boards, and protection around your home and landscaping before the first tile comes off.

Tile Removal

Every tile is carefully removed and stacked or discarded. Unlike shingles, tiles are heavier and require special handling to safely remove from your roof.

Underlayment & Flashing Removal

Beneath the tile is an underlayment system and flashing that often breaks down over time. This layer is just as important as the tile itself and must be replaced to keep your roof watertight.

Inspecting the Decking

Once the roof is clear, we check the decking and replace any damaged wood. A strong, solid foundation is critical before new materials go on.

Clean-Up & Disposal

Tile tear-offs produce a large volume of debris. We handle the hauling, disposal, and magnet-sweeping for stray nails and fasteners to leave your property safe and clean.

Prepping for the New Roof

With everything cleared, new underlayment, flashing, and installation prep are completed. Then, it’s time for your new tile roof to be installed with precision.

 A tile tear-off isn’t just demolition — it’s the first step to a roof that protects your home for decades. At Weathered Roofing, we ensure every detail is handled with care from start to finish.
