Modesto Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Modesto, CA for residential and commercial properties across the northern San Joaquin Valley. The concrete tile roofs across east Modesto and the newer subdivisions are mostly not worn out. The tile is doing fine and will outlive most of us. What gave up underneath it is the felt, and replacing that is an entirely different job from replacing a roof.
A lift-and-relay takes the tile off in stacks, lays down a proper two-layer or self-adhered underlayment, renews the valley metal and every flashing, then resets your original tile with new fasteners. You buy perhaps a tenth of the field as replacement tile to cover breakage and keep all the rest of it. Concrete tile is essentially inert. It sheds water, it does not rot, and very little happens to it in thirty years.
It costs well under a new tile roof and it restarts the clock on the only component that had actually failed. If somebody quotes all-new tile on a twenty-five-year-old concrete roof with sound tile on it, ask why, and expect an answer that is about the tile rather than about the underlayment beneath it. There are honest reasons to replace tile, such as a profile you cannot match or cracking from foot traffic. Age alone is not one.
The thing to understand about a relay is that it is very nearly all labor. Two or three people carrying, stacking and resetting several thousand pieces of concrete over the better part of a week. Labor-heavy weeks are exactly when a crew grows at short notice, and that is the point where an abstract question about coverage becomes a concrete one.
So on a relay, ask it of anybody bidding, ourselves included. Is every person working on this roof on the policy shown on the license record, and is that record current this month rather than eighteen months ago. Because roofing cannot exempt out of that coverage anywhere in California, a clean answer is available either way. We would ask it of a subcontractor bidding to us, so it seems reasonable that you ask it of us as well.
One more note, offered as a favor rather than an upsell. If you are relaying, spend the extra now on valley metal and pipe flashings while the field is open and reachable. Getting back to those later means lifting the whole roof a second time, and nobody enjoys paying twice for the same week of labor. Roofers price that second lift the same way you would.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — two-layer underlayment set under salvaged concrete tile, counterflashing folded into a saw-cut mortar reglet, cold-applied SBS cap sheet over a low-slope tie-in, 26-gauge concealed-clip standing seam, underlayment rated for sustained attic deck temperature, nails driven flush in the reinforced nailing strip — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Modesto and nearby communities including Turlock, Ceres, Riverbank, Patterson.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with two-layer underlayment set under salvaged concrete tile, counterflashing folded into a saw-cut mortar reglet, cold-applied SBS cap sheet over a low-slope tie-in, 26-gauge concealed-clip standing seam, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Modesto job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the northern San Joaquin Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Modesto Chooses Modesto Roof Pros
- ✓We hand you our license number and a current insurance certificate before the ladder comes off the truck, and we would rather you looked both up while we wait.
- ✓We check the certificate as well as the record, because a policy filed two years ago and a policy in force this week are not the same thing.
- ✓Repair first when repair is honest. Roughly half the Modesto roofs we look at need a pipe boot and a flashing detail, not sixteen thousand dollars.
- ✓We do not coat composition shingle roofs, and we will explain the warranty reasoning on your driveway rather than sell you the bucket.
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Modesto follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every tile roofing project in Modesto gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
