Tile Roofing Services in Arizona
Tile roofing is one of the most durable and visually appealing roofing systems for homes across Arizona. At JTD Roofing LLC, we provide professional tile roofing services including tile roof repairs, tile roof re-felts, replacements, and ongoing maintenance. Tile roofs are designed to last for decades, but their long-term performance depends on proper installation, quality materials, and the condition of the underlayment beneath the tiles.
While roof tiles themselves shed water, the underlayment underneath the tile roofing system is what truly protects your home from water intrusion. Over time, Arizona’s heat and weather conditions can cause underlayment to wear out long before the tiles do. When this happens, leaks can develop even though the tiles appear intact. Our experienced team helps homeowners identify underlayment issues early and provides solutions that extend the life of their tile roof.


What Is a Tile Roof Re-Felt?
A tile roof re-felt is the process of removing existing roof tiles, replacing the old or deteriorated underlayment, and then reinstalling the tiles. This allows homeowners to restore the waterproofing layer of their roof without replacing tiles that are still in good condition. Re-felting is a cost-effective way to prevent leaks, improve roof performance, and protect your home for years to come.
Tile Roof Underlayment Options
- Standard Ply 40 Underlayment – A durable, reinforced asphalt-based underlayment with an estimated lifespan of 15–25 years, and a long-standing industry standard for tile roofing systems.
- TileSeal Underlayment – A high-performance, self-adhered underlayment that bonds directly to the roof deck, offering maximum protection and a longer estimated lifespan of 25–35 years.

At JTD Roofing LLC, we offer multiple high-quality underlayment options based on your roof’s condition, budget, and protection needs. Selecting the proper underlayment ensures your tile roof performs as intended and provides dependable protection in Arizona’s climate.
