Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a tile and slate job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Fastener specification, especially near salt air
- Whether battens are being replaced at the same time
- What percentage of tile breakage they expect and how it is priced
- The condition and age of the underlayment beneath
- Whether the tile can be salvaged and relaid
Slate wants copper or stainless fasteners and a crew who has done it before. Steel nails on a slate roof is a hundred-year covering held down by a thirty-year fixing.
Walking a tile roof breaks tile. That is not carelessness, it is physics, and any honest contractor will tell you a small percentage will be lost and replaced.
Broken or slipped tiles are a maintenance item, not an emergency, provided the underlayment beneath is still sound.
Locally
Behind it: shaded slopes that never really dry out. The north side of a house here ages years faster than the south side, and almost every roof gets replaced because of it.
About tile and slate here
How long does a re-roof take?
Two days is typical for asphalt. Add days for steep pitch, multiple layers to strip, tile work, or a roof with a lot of valleys and penetrations.
What does a new roof cost in Chino Hills?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $11,500 to $29,000. That assumes one layer to remove and sound decking. Every quote you get should say in writing what happens if the decking is not sound.
It is leaking right now. What do I do?
Move what you can out of the way, put a bucket under it, and if there is a bulge in the ceiling put a small hole at its lowest point to let the water out in one place rather than bringing the whole panel down. Then mark your request as an emergency — those go out first.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Beacon Roof Works — Chino Hills is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.
