• Leak location: valleys, walls, chimneys, skylights, penetrations
• Underlayment condition: cut‑in vs. sectional vs. full rebuild
• Flashing corrections: valley width/gauge, step & counter‑flashing
• Tile profile & availability: clay vs. concrete, discontinued matches

• Access & pitch: steep, multi‑story, or complex geometry
• Debris loads & prep time (valleys, walls, gutters)
• Storm damage extent: hail impacts and wind‑shifted tiles
• Interior protection & temporary dry‑in needs

Valleys & Transitions

Valleys carry high water volume. Debris dams, undersized metal, or improper tile placement often require lift/reset and valley upgrades.

Walls (Sidewall/Headwall)

Mis‑sequenced step flashing or missing counter‑flashing increases the repair scope. Tiles must be lifted and the detail rebuilt correctly.

Chimneys & Skylights

High‑risk transitions. Crickets/saddles, curb integration, and gasket replacement add time; proper sequencing prevents future leaks.

Penetrations

Pipes, vents, and satellite mounts require underlayment repair plus re‑flashing for durable results.

Cut‑In Repairs

• Localized underlayment failure at a valley, wall, or penetration
• Tiles removed/reset; laps and flashings corrected
• Best when surrounding areas are sound

Sectional or Full Underlayment Replacement

• Widespread aging, multiple leak zones, or repeated patches
• Complex roofs with heavy storm history
• Often paired with flashing upgrades for long‑term durability

Valleys

Upgrading metal width/gauge and resetting tiles to maintain a clean flow adds labor but prevents repeat leaks.

Wall Flashing

Correct step/counter‑flashing sequencing and underlayment integration is essential—sealant‑only patches often fail.

Chimneys & Skylights

Crickets, curb height, and gasket replacement add scope; tile systems need precise sequencing to avoid collateral breakage.

Clay vs. Concrete

Clay can be more brittle under hail or foot traffic; concrete is heavier and may chip at edges—both affect labor and scope.

Discontinued Profiles

Exact matches may not be available. We blend close matches into less‑visible areas when needed.

Reset vs. Replace

Many scopes remove and reset existing tiles after underlayment/flashings are rebuilt—reduces material cost.

Active leaks during rain may need temporary dry‑in/tarping until permanent repairs are safe. Documentation helps with claims.

• Hail: fractures clay, chips concrete
• Wind: lifts tiles along rakes, ridges, valleys
• Driven rain: exploits marginal laps and valley width

Localized Leak Repair

• Lift/reset tiles at a small valley or wall section
• Cut‑in underlayment and correct flashing overlap
• Replace a few broken or slipped tiles

Sectional Rebuild

• Multiple leak points on a slope or complex area
• Upgrade valley width/gauge & re‑sequence wall flashings
• Reset tiles; blend matches where needed
