01
Before
The original roof
The original barrel tile, before work began. Tile sheds water, but the underlayment beneath it is the real waterproofing — and that is the layer that wears out.
02
Tear-off
Down to the deck
Full removal of the old tile and underlayment so the decking can be inspected in daylight. Rotten or soft sheets are replaced here, not covered.
03
Deck & underlayment
Sealed before a single tile goes on
Self-adhered underlayment bonded to the deck — the layer that keeps water out even if tile is lost in a storm. Photographed before cover-up, as promised.
04
New tile
New tile going down
New flat tile set over the sealed deck, attached to Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements — filmed as the last stacks go on.
