Escondido Roof Replacement
The roofing project on Shadetree Lane in Escondido, CA, involved a complete roof replacement due to the condition of the existing roof’s underlayment. The customer contacted us to address concerns related to the roof, prompting a thorough assessment and subsequent reroofing process. There was a lot of visible damaged fascia boards. During the project, we carefully removed the old concrete tiles to inspect and replace any underlying wood that had been affected by dry rot or termites, ensuring a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
After addressing the structural issues, we installed two layers of Malarkey UDL 40# felt underlayment for optimal moisture protection and durability. All metal components were replaced to enhance the roof’s integrity. We also installed drip metal and birdstop to prevent future water intrusion and keep pests at bay. Birdstop is also useful in fire prevention by keeping live embers from traveling up under the roof tiles during a wild fire. Finally, we carefully reinstalled the original concrete tiles. Thus completing the reroofing project effectively and ensuring that Sam’s home is now equipped with a reliable and long-lasting roofing system.
With proper maintenance, this roof replacement by Escondido Roofing Contractor Richardson Roofing will last 50 years.
Maintaining a concrete tile roof is essential to ensure its longevity and performance. Here are some key maintenance practices:
Concrete Tile Roof Maintenance Checklist
- Regular Inspections: Conduct inspections at least once a year and after severe weather events. The roof should also be checked if someone has walked on the roof, such as a painter, pest control company, gutter installation, etc. Look for cracked, chipped, or missing tiles, as well as signs of wear around flashing and other roof components.
- Cleaning Debris: Remove leaves, branches, and other debris from the roof surface, valleys and gutters to prevent water damming and facilitate proper drainage.
- Roof Repairs: Promptly address any damaged or missing tiles by repairing or replacing them to prevent water infiltration.
- Flashing Maintenance: Ensure that flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is intact and properly sealed, as these areas are common sources of leaks. Also maintain a seal on all pipe penetrations.
By following these maintenance practices, you can help extend the lifespan of your concrete tile roof. This will ensure it continues to protect your home effectively.
