What Is a Tile Lift and Relay?
A tile lift and relay is underlayment replacement without buying new tile. The crew removes your existing concrete or clay tile, strips the worn underlayment, installs new high-temperature waterproofing, and re-lays the original tile on top. In Arizona, underlayment typically lasts 20–25 years while the tile above it lasts 40–100 years — so most Tucson homes need the underlayment replaced long before they need new tile.
- Costs roughly $5.50–$9.00 per square foot in the Tucson market
- A 2,000 sq ft roof often lands near $3,600 for underlayment only
- Keeps your original tile profile and color — no HOA approval fight

Free Tile Roof Inspection — No Obligation
Most Tucson roof problems are cheap to fix early and expensive to ignore. A leak that's been running for one monsoon season means wet decking. Two seasons means drywall and framing.
We'll inspect your roof, photograph what we find, and hand you a written estimate. If the roof is fine, we'll tell you it's fine.

Tile Roof Questions Tucson Homeowners Ask
How much does it cost to repair a tile roof in Tucson?
Tile-specific repairs in the Tucson market typically run $900–$2,500. Minor repairs start around $250–$800. Your number depends on how much underlayment is involved and how hard your tile is to match. We give you a written, itemized estimate before any work starts.
What is a tile roof “lift and relay” underlayment repair?
We lift your existing tile, replace the worn underlayment beneath it, and re-lay the same tile. It runs about $5.50–$9.00 per square foot locally — roughly $3,600 on a 2,000 sq ft roof. You keep your original tile and skip the cost of new material.
How long does a tile roof underlayment last in Arizona heat?
About 20–25 years. The tile on top lasts 40–100+ years. That gap is why most Tucson “roof replacements” are really underlayment jobs.
Can you replace broken roof tiles without replacing the whole roof?
Yes. If the underlayment below is still sound, we swap the broken tiles and color-match them. We'll show you photos of the underlayment so you can see the condition yourself.
How often should I inspect my tile roof for monsoon damage?
Twice a year — once before monsoon season starts in July, once after it ends in October. Also after any storm with sustained high wind or hail.
Do you match discontinued or hard-to-find tile?
Yes. We keep a sourcing database and inventory for older concrete and clay profiles. Send us a photo by text and we'll tell you what we can find.
Are you licensed in Arizona?
Sunshade Roofing's Arizona ROC licensing is in process. Arizona requires a licence on any job over $1,000 or any job needing a permit. You can verify the status of any Arizona contractor at roc.az.gov.
Does homeowners insurance cover tile roof damage?
Roughly 80% of Arizona homeowner policies cover wind-driven tile displacement. Coverage depends on your policy. Call your carrier first, then call us — we'll document the damage with photos for your claim.
How do I avoid a storm-chaser roofing scam in Tucson?
The Arizona Attorney General warns about door-to-door crews after monsoon storms. Verify the ROC licence, get it in writing, never pay by gift card or cryptocurrency, and never pay in full up front.
Do you work on flat roofs and metal roofs too?
Yes. Elastomeric and silicone coatings for flat and built-up roofs, plus standing seam metal. Roughly half of Tucson homes have a flat roof section somewhere.
