Tile Reset: Restoring Beauty & Function Over time, roof tiles can shift, crack, and collect debris, even if they still look “fine” from the ground. For this home, we completed a full tile reset, carefully removing the tiles, addressing problem areas, and reinstalling them properly. The result: Improved alignment and appearance Proper water flow and drainage An extended roof lifespan without a full replacement A tile reset doesn’t just refresh curb appeal—it ensures your roof system works the way it was designed to. 🛡️ Why Underlayment Matters (Especially After 20 Years) While tiles are the most visible part of your roof, the underlayment is the true waterproof barrier—and it has a lifespan. In Arizona’s harsh climate, underlayment typically needs replacement every 20 years. After that point, it becomes brittle, breaks down, and can no longer protect your home from moisture intrusion—even if the tiles still look good. Replacing aging underlayment helps: Prevent hidden leaks and interior damage Protect against costly structural repairs Maintain manufacturer and insurance compliance Safeguard your investment long-term 🔍 The Bigger Picture This Gold Canyon project highlights an important truth: Roof maintenance isn’t just about fixing problems—it’s about preventing them. By pairing a tile reset with proper underlayment evaluation and replacement when needed, homeowners can avoid surprise leaks, preserve their home’s value, and gain peace of mind for years to come.
