Tile roof repair that keeps your tile
Cali Energy repairs clay and concrete tile roofs across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, in Burbank, Glendale, Calabasas, Simi Valley and Santa Clarita. We lift the tile, renew the underlayment and flashings beneath it, and set the same tile back, under our C-39 roofing license.
On a tile roof the tile is the rain screen and the underlayment under it is the waterproofing. When the underlayment fails, the fix is a lift-and-relay: lift and stack the tile, strip and replace what is underneath, rebuild the flashings and set the same tile back, so the roof keeps its look. Cali Energy does lift-and-relay, flashing and cracked-tile repairs across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, and works tile around solar mounts on the same roof.

Tile repairs we do
- Lift-and-relay. The tile comes off and is stacked, the old underlayment is stripped, sheathing is checked and replaced where damaged, new underlayment goes down and the same tile goes back. Lift-and-relay cost
- Flashings under tile. Walls, chimneys, valleys and vents. In Porter Ranch about four hundred square feet of tile came off, the flashing around the chimney was replaced, and then the array went on.
- Cracked and slipped tile. Replaced or reset, and the cause found: foot traffic, a loose fastener, or failed underlayment beneath. Cracked or slipped roof tiles
- Tile around solar. Concrete tile is lifted along the rail lines, attachments go into the structure and are flashed, and the tile is reset, as on our Pacoima project. Solar on clay tile roofs
Repair, relay or replace
When the tile is sound and the underlayment has failed, a lift-and-relay keeps the original tile and its profile. When the tile itself is broken across the roof, or you want a different covering, it is a replacement. Tile roof replacement · Repair, lift-and-relay or replacement
