Decking Replacement for Tile Reroof

Travis is the Owner and COO for Northmen Roofing. Tile roofing, historical restoration and waterproofing specialist.

At Northmen Roofing, we specialize in overcoming the most challenging waterproofing obstacles daily, priding ourselves on extending the lifespan of roof systems to ensure maximum comfort and value for our clients.

While we prioritize repairs whenever possible, there are instances where a full roof replacement becomes unavoidable. Factors such as subpar installation, inferior materials, and Florida's relentless sun and rain can accelerate roof deterioration beyond repair, making replacement the most practical solution.

Take, for example, this recent project in the Williamsburg community of Orlando, FL, featuring a tile roof utilizing the Malibu line from Eagle. Many homes in this area employ a unique "tarp underlayment" system, foregoing traditional roof decking. This was an acceptable practice in the 1980’s, however, when it comes time for a new roof, this presents a significant challenge, requiring engineering review and the installation of an entirely new plywood deck to meet current building codes before tile installation can commence.

Our dedicated team skillfully navigated this intricate process, meticulously and carefully removing the existing tiles while seamlessly replacing the decking. Utilizing PSU 30 self-adhesive underlayment, we ensured minimal exposure of the home during the process. Our seasoned installers then installed battens, custom roofing metals fabricated in-house, and finally, the Eagle Tiles with tinted mortar to match the aesthetic seamlessly.

As with all our roofing services, this tile roof replacement is backed by our no-hassle warranty, a testament to our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
