  1. 1

    Material

    Clay and concrete tile differ in price, weight and how easy replacement pieces are to find.

  2. 2

    Underlayment scope

    Whether the job replaces only the underlayment or the whole roof is the biggest swing in price.

  3. 3

    Wildfire mapping

    Parts of the county sit in mapped fire hazard zones, which can add roof and vent requirements.

  4. 4

    Permit

    Each city sets its own re-roof permit rules and fees.

  5. 5

    Deck condition

    Rotted sheathing found after tear-off is replaced and usually billed per sheet.

  6. 6

    Access

    Height, pitch and site access change labor and setup.

Is concrete tile the same as clay tile?

No. They look alike from the street, but they are different materials with different weights, finishes and replacement parts.

What fails first on a tile roof?

In most cases the underlayment beneath the tiles, not the tiles themselves. That is why many tile jobs are underlayment replacements.

How do I compare two estimates?

Put them side by side and check that both list the same scope: underlayment type, flashing, tile replacement count, permit and cleanup.
