Your tile lasts 75 years — the underlayment beneath it does not.

It typically costs 50–65% of full replacement and resets your roof's service life.

Tile Lift & Relay Built for Mission Beach
Most San Diego tile roofs installed before 2000 used organic felt underlayment with a 25–30 year life. When ceiling stains appear under a 30-year-old tile roof, the tile is almost always fine and the felt has failed. Lift and relay is the highest-value roofing investment available to a tile homeowner: same roof appearance, brand-new waterproofing system, a fraction of the replacement cost.

Yes. California First Roofing holds CSLB License #1094851 (B and C-39), is fully bonded, and carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Every Mission Beach tile lift & relay job is inspected and warrantied.
What warranty comes with tile lift & relay installed in Mission Beach?
25–40 year underlayment manufacturer warranty depending on system selected, plus our workmanship warranty on relay, flashing, and detailing. All warranty documentation is registered in your name at project completion.
How does salt air in Mission Beach affect tile lift & relay?
Coastal Mission Beach homes face accelerated corrosion on standard fasteners and flashing. For every tile lift & relay project near the coast we specify stainless steel or copper fasteners, marine-grade underlayments, and Kynar-coated or aluminum components rated for salt exposure — details typical roofers skip.
How do you prevent leaks on tile lift & relay during Mission Beach's wet season?
Every Mission Beach tile lift & relay project includes premium synthetic or high-temperature underlayment, self-adhered ice-and-water shield in valleys and penetrations, and code-compliant step flashing at every wall. Projects near South Mission Beach pass a documented water-tightness inspection before final sign-off.
How much does tile lift and relay cost in San Diego?
Lift and relay typically runs $7–$12 per square foot installed — roughly 50–65% of a complete tile replacement — including new underlayment, battens, flashing, and a written tile breakage allowance.
How do I know if I need lift and relay instead of full replacement?
If your tile is sound but the roof is 25+ years old with original felt and showing leaks or granule loss at gutters, lift and relay is usually the right call. A drone and attic inspection confirms which path makes sense.
How much tile breaks during a lift and relay?
Typical breakage runs 3–8% depending on tile age and profile. We include a specific breakage allowance in the proposal and source matching replacement tile from Boral, Eagle, MCA, and salvage yards.
How long does lift and relay take?
Most single-family San Diego lift and relay projects finish in 4–7 working days — often faster than a full replacement because there is no new-tile delivery or staging.
Does lift and relay come with a warranty?
Yes — the new underlayment carries its manufacturer warranty of 25–40 years, and our workmanship warranty covers the relay, flashing, valleys, and all penetration details.
Will my roof look different after lift and relay?
No — that is the main advantage. Your original tile goes back on, so color, profile, and weathering stay identical, which keeps HOA architectural committees satisfied with no submittal for a new material.
Do you replace rotted plywood during lift and relay?
Yes. With the tile off and felt stripped we inspect the full deck and replace any delaminated or rotted sheathing before new underlayment is installed. Decking work is line-itemed at a fixed unit price.
Can lift and relay fix a leak without replacing the whole roof?
For localized leaks we can perform a partial lift and relay of the affected slope or valley. When the underlayment is uniformly at end of life, a whole-roof relay costs less per square foot and avoids repeat repairs.
