Tile Roof Replacement & Tile R&R in Phoenix
Tile Roof Underlayment Replacement Done Right
Most tile roofs in Phoenix don’t fail because of the tile. They fail because of the layer underneath. Concrete and clay tile can last for decades, but the underlayment below it wears out in the desert heat. When it does, water gets through, even if the roof looks fine from the street.
A Tile R&R fixes that. Stapleton Roofing is a family-owned, licensed roofing contractor (ROC 269773), owned by Cindy and Pat Stapleton. We’ve done tile roofs across the Valley since 2010.
Signs Your Tile Roof Needs a Tile R&R
- Water stains on your ceiling or in your attic
- Leaks that come back after repairs
- Cracked, slipped or missing tiles
- Underlayment that looks brittle or torn where tiles are broken
- A tile roof that’s 20 years old or more and has never had its underlayment replaced
Monsoon storms are often what exposes a worn underlayment. Learn more about how Phoenix’s monsoon season damages tile roofs. If only one area is leaking, a tile roof repair may be all you need.

What Is a Tile R&R?
R&R stands for “remove and reset.” Our crew carefully lifts off your existing tiles and stacks them on the roof. We tear off the old underlayment and inspect the roof deck. Then we install new underlayment and flashing, and reset your tiles. Any broken tiles are replaced.
You keep the look of your roof. You get a new waterproof layer underneath. People also call this a tile roof underlayment replacement.

- Tiles lifted and stacked on the roof
- Old underlayment removed and the deck inspected

How Long Does a Tile R&R Take?
Most homes take about a week. Larger or more complex roofs take longer. One recent 86-square home took about four weeks. (A “square” is 100 square feet of roof.) We’ll give you a timeline with your estimate, and we keep you updated throughout.
Our Underlayment & Leak-Free Guarantee
We typically install one layer of LayfastSBS 43 lb, an SBS-modified underlayment made by MBTechnology. It’s reinforced with fiberglass, so it won’t rot like old-style felt. It’s nailed down rather than glued, carries a Class A fire rating, and is approved for use under tile roofs.
- One layer: 15-year manufacturer’s material warranty
- Two layers (2-ply): 30-year manufacturer’s material warranty
Every Tile R&R is backed by Stapleton Roofing’s Leak-Free Guarantee for the warranty period stated in your contract. The manufacturer covers the materials.

What Affects the Cost of a Tile R&R
Every tile roof is different, so we don’t publish one price. Your cost depends on:
- Size: how many squares your roof covers
- Pitch: steeper roofs take more time and safety work
- Hips, ridges and valleys: more angles mean more detail work and flashing
- Broken tiles: how many need replacing, and whether matching tile is available
- Underlayment: one layer or two
- Deck condition: any damaged wood found once the tiles are lifted
We’ll inspect your roof and give you a written estimate at no charge. Call (602) 833-7663 or request your free estimate below.
Questions About a Tile R&R?
Replacing your roof is a significant home renovation project, and we know you may have many questions. To help you through the process, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions by homeowners.
Yes, in most cases. Good tiles are reset, and broken ones are replaced with the closest match available.
If the leak is in one spot and the underlayment is still in good shape, a tile roof repair may be enough. If the underlayment is worn across the roof, a Tile R&R is the long-term fix. We’ll tell you honestly which one you need.
Most homes take about a week. Larger or more complex roofs take longer. We’ll give you a timeline with your estimate.
It depends on your roof’s size, pitch, hips, ridges and valleys, how many tiles need replacing, and whether you choose one or two layers of underlayment. We provide free written estimates.
Two layers of underlayment instead of one. It adds protection and raises the manufacturer’s material warranty from 15 to 30 years. Our Leak-Free Guarantee covers the workmanship.
That depends on the system and your roof. LayfastSBS carries a 15-year manufacturer’s material warranty for one layer, or 30 years for two layers.
Absolutely. We assist homeowners with navigating the insurance claim process to ensure you get the coverage you deserve for your situation.
