Tile Roofing for Homes in Los Angeles
Who installs and repairs tile roofs in Los Angeles?
Roofing H USA installs and repairs tile roofs on Los Angeles homes: clay and concrete S-tiles and barrel tiles. We replace broken tiles, reset tiles over new underlayment and fix flashing and ridges, with a written estimate before work starts. Call (213) 921-3424.
On most tile roofs, the underlayment wears out before the tiles do, so many leaks start under tiles that look fine. In Los Angeles, resetting tiles over new underlayment is an express permit item at LADBS, without the cool roof rule.
How does a tile roof job work?
Comprehensive Inspection
We start by assessing the current state of your roof, identifying leaks, structural weaknesses, and material fatigue.
Transparent Estimation
You receive an itemized quote for the tiles, underlayment and labor before any work starts.
Site Preparation and Safety
We prepare your property, protecting your landscaping and ensuring a safe environment for your family and our crew.
Installation
We remove the old materials and install the new ones, with attention to every tile, shingle and seal.
Final Walkthrough and Cleanup
We do a final walkthrough with you and remove the debris. The work is covered by our 5-year labor guarantee.
What other roofs do we install on Los Angeles homes?
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a common choice for Los Angeles homes because they come in many colors and cost less than tile. They handle strong sun and give a clean, classic look, with colors to suit any architectural style.
Clay Barrel and S-Tile Roofs
Barrel tiles and S-tiles give a home the Mediterranean or Spanish look common in Los Angeles. Clay and concrete tiles hold up well to sun and weather, and the air space under curved tiles helps slow heat.
They are heavy, so the roof frame must be able to carry their weight.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a durable option. It resists fire and strong weather, lighter colors reflect much of the sun’s heat, and it suits modern home designs. For owners who put durability first when choosing a new roof, it is worth comparing with tile.
Slate and Slate-Like Shingles
If you like the look of natural slate, slate-like shingles give its thickness and color at less weight. Natural slate costs more but resists fire and, when installed well, can outlast most other roofing materials.
Flat Roofs and Torch-Down
Not every home has a steep roof. For modern designs and additions, we install flat roofs, including torch-down systems: layered membranes sealed with heat that need little upkeep when the drains are kept clear.
Underlayment and Wood Sheathing Repair
A roof is only as good as the structure beneath it. On every home roof job, we inspect the wood sheathing and underlayment and replace what is rotted or damaged before the new roofing goes on.
We keep the work area clean and safe while the roof is open.

Tile Roofing in Los Angeles FAQ
Is a repair enough, or does my roof need to be fully replaced?
Generally, if your roof is near the end of its expected life and experiencing multiple leaks or significant shingle loss, a replacement is more cost-effective. During our inspection, we evaluate the underlayment and wood sheathing to give you an honest recommendation.
Can a tile roof leak be fixed without a new roof?
Often, yes. Worn-out underlayment or several broken tiles cause many of the leaks in tile roofs. The tiles in that area are lifted, the underlayment is replaced and the tiles are reset or replaced, without a full tear-off.
Do I need a permit to reset tiles over new underlayment in Los Angeles?
Yes, but it is a simple one. LADBS lists removing tiles, applying new underlayment and resetting the same tiles as express permit work, issued without plan check, and the cool roof rule does not apply to it.
Does your 5-year labor guarantee cover all roof types?
Yes, our 5-year labor guarantee applies to all of our residential roofing installations, from asphalt shingles to torch down systems and tiles.
Is tile too heavy for my roof?
It can be. Clay and concrete tiles weigh much more than asphalt shingles, so the roof frame must be able to carry them. In Los Angeles, the LADBS express re-roof permit only covers roofing that weighs less than 6 pounds per square foot.
