Tile roof work in Perris, CA
Slate and clay are the two coverings that routinely outlive the people who chose them. They are also the two that the wrong crew can ruin in an afternoon.

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.
- What percentage of tile breakage they expect and how it is priced
- Fastener specification, especially near salt air
- Whether the tile can be salvaged and relaid
- The condition and age of the underlayment beneath
- Whether battens are being replaced at the same time
Underlayment life under tile is typically twenty to thirty years. The tile above it is rated for fifty or more. Plan for one relay in the life of the roof.
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.
Locally
Close behind that: the autumn offshore winds, which find anything already loose. These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
About tile and slate here
Do you handle commercial buildings?
We do. It is a different set of contractors — commercial and low-slope work is a separate trade from residential re-roofing — so answering the property question accurately matters.
How much deposit is normal?
A third at most, and never the full amount. Pay the balance when the job is finished and you have walked it. Some states cap the deposit by law.
Do you cover the whole Riverside County area?
We match across Perris and the neighbouring communities in Riverside County. Put the ZIP of the property in and it will route to whoever actually covers it.
Are you a roofing company?
No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.

No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
