Tile Roofing in Paradise Valley, AZ

Tile roof costs on a Paradise Valley property

Typical totals from our price sheet for a 3,000 sq ft roof: about $33,000–$48,000 for an underlayment replacement that puts your tile back on ($11–$16 per square foot), or $57,000–$78,000 for a complete tear-off with new tile ($19–$26 per square foot). See every range on our pricing page.

On an acre-lot home, roof size usually shapes the number first, but it's far from the only thing:

• Total square footage and pitch
• Wings, valleys, hips, chimneys and skylights, each hand-cut and flashed
• Concrete or clay, the profile, and whether it's still manufactured
• How many broken tiles need matching replacements
• The underlayment system, with peel-and-stick at valleys and eaves
• Decking replaced where water has already reached the wood
• On hillside lots, a color inside the town's reflectance limit, plus staging on a slope

Underlayment on long, low Paradise Valley roofs

A sprawling one-story roof has more valley length and more eave line than a compact two-story home, and those are exactly the places old felt fails first. Water concentrates in a valley, the felt there dries out and splits, and the leak finally shows up as a stain near an interior wall. This post explains why valleys go first.

The fix is a relay. We take the tile off and stack it, replace soft decking, put down new underlayment, then reload the tile. Original tile goes back on the slopes you see from the drive and the street, and replacement pieces go on rear or shaded slopes so the roof doesn't look patched. A large roof gets opened in sections, and each section is closed before the crew leaves.

Adobe revival tile and older homes

Paradise Valley's older Pueblo and Monterey revival homes wear multicolored tile, and some of those tiles aren't made anymore. When that's the case, every piece is precious. We handle it slowly, stack it where it won't get knocked, and plan where each one goes back. On those older homes we also look behind chimneys. If tile runs straight into the back of a chimney, water and debris pond there, so we build a cricket that sends runoff around both sides. Here's why a chimney cricket matters.

Hillside color rules and choosing tile

On hillside lots covered by Article XXII, no roof material can have a light reflecting value over 38 percent, and shake roofs have to give way to something else at re-roof time. Tile color also shifts through the day, so judge it outdoors in real sun (here's why). Mountain slopes catch more wind, so each ridge cap goes down on a bead of mastic, with a closure strip of weather blocker underneath.
