How long does a roof last in California?
Composition shingles: 20–25 years. Tile roofs: 50+ years for the tile itself (the underlayment under it usually fails first at 25–35 years). TPO flat roofs: 20–25 years.
Roofing
Roof inspections, repairs, and replacement for shingle and flat roofs.
Overview
What this service covers
Roofs fail quietly. A handful of cracked tiles or a single flashing failure can cause framing and drywall damage that costs 10x the original repair. We inspect, repair, and replace shingle, tile, and flat (TPO/torch-down) roofs across California.
Every quote includes the underlying decking inspection — we don't quote a tear-off and reroof without checking what's underneath.

FAQs
Common questions about roofing.
Can you patch a tile roof, or does it need a full replacement?
Tile is very patchable. Most leaks under tile roofs are actually underlayment or flashing failures, not the tile itself. We pull tiles, fix the underlying issue, and reset.
Do I need a permit to re-roof?
Yes. California requires a permit for re-roofing, and the inspector checks both the underlayment and the finish layer. We pull the permit.
