Vallejo Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing & tile repair in Vallejo, CA for residential and commercial properties across the North Bay. This is the page where we usually talk people out of something. Concrete tile weighs nine hundred to eleven hundred pounds a square. The framing under most pre-1930 houses here was sized for wood shingle at roughly two hundred, and underlayment does not close that gap.
The number matters more than it sounds. A twenty-five-square roof in concrete tile puts something like ten tons over what the original wood shingle put there. That load lands on two-by-four rafters at two-foot spacing, often with no collar ties and a ridge that is really just a butt joint, and it ends up in a foundation poured a century before the current code.
So the honest sequence is a structural engineer before a salesperson. Tile on original framing starts with an evaluation and usually a rafter-sistering or a purlin-and-strut scheme, and that carpentry is a real fraction of the roof price. We will quote it and manage it. We will not skip it and hand you a tile roof with a warranty on the tile only.
The alternatives we actually recommend: lightweight concrete tile in the five-to-six-hundred-pound range, or a stamped steel tile profile at about a hundred and fifty, which gives the shadow line at a fraction of the load. On a 1920s Mediterranean where the barrel profile is the whole point of the house, lightweight clay is usually the answer. Any of the three keeps the shadow line the elevation was designed around.
Where tile is right, we do it properly. Battens over a two-ply underlayment, hips and ridges both mortared and mechanically fastened, valley metal wide enough to keep working around a broken-tile blockage, and eave closures that keep birds out of the pan. Foot-traffic policy afterwards is a real conversation, because a walked-on tile roof becomes a broken tile roof. This is not a page that sells much tile, and we would rather write it honestly than not.
Repairs on existing tile are steady work in this area. Cracked field tiles from a satellite installer, a slipped course above a valley, mortar gone from a hip, underlayment spent at thirty years under sound tile. Those are half-day and multi-day jobs, and we would rather do a hundred of them than one tile roof on framing that cannot hold it. Repairs also buy time to save for the right roof rather than the affordable one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — open W-valley metal, closed-cut valleys, step and counter flashing, kickout flashing, self-adhering underlayment membrane, one-by skip sheathing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Vallejo and nearby communities including Benicia, American Canyon, Napa, Fairfield.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing & tile repair
The difference between tile roofing & tile repair that lasts and tile roofing & tile repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with open W-valley metal, closed-cut valleys, step and counter flashing, kickout flashing, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Vallejo job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the North Bay means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
