Tile Repair & Underlayment Failure Estimator

If the home has active leaks but you see no broken tiles, the underlying organic felt has reached its thermal limit. In sun-drenched regions, 30# felt becomes brittle and fails after 18–22 years regardless of the tiles' condition. You must sell a 'Lift-and-Lay' service with synthetic underlayment to fix the root cause.

Tile repair is high-liability specialty work. Every time a tech walks a tile roof, they risk breaking surrounding tiles. A $500 minimum ensures you cover the skilled labor, the material-matching hunt, and the liability of 'Walking the Ridge' to find the actual leak source.
