The new program addresses aging tile roof underlayment, helping Tucson homeowners prevent costly water damage and extend the life of their roofing systems.

Our program is designed to educate homeowners, protect their investment, and extend the life of one of the most vital systems in their home.”

TUCSON, AZ, UNITED STATES, December 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fletcher Roofing, a locally owned and highly rated roofing contractor serving Southern Arizona for the past eight years, has announced the expansion of its services to include a full Tile Underlayment Replacement Program designed to address one of Tucson’s most common and costly hidden home issues.

While clay and concrete roof tiles often last several decades, the underlayment beneath them — especially the inexpensive felt paper used on many Tucson homes — typically fails within 12–20 years due to the region’s extreme heat and intense monsoon patterns. Because the tiles themselves can still look perfect from the street, most homeowners are unaware that their roof’s waterproofing layer may already be dried out, cracked, or deteriorated.

“Tile roofs give the appearance of long-term durability, but the waterproofing layer underneath often tells a very different story,” said Simon Smart, spokesperson for Fletcher Roofing. “Our program is designed to educate homeowners, protect their investment, and extend the life of one of the most vital systems in their home.”

A Full System Rebuild Using High-Grade Materials

Fletcher Roofing’s new service removes the existing tiles, replaces the outdated underlayment, and rebuilds the roof system using TRI-BUILT® Self-Adhering HT Underlayment, a significant upgrade over the felt paper found on many Tucson homes. The process includes:
Complete removal of tiles
Tear-off of old underlayment and battens
Full decking inspection and repairs
Installation of high-grade synthetic underlayment
New battens, flashings, bird stop, and accessories
Ventilation and airflow improvements
Reinstallation of existing tiles

Most projects are completed in 2–3 days and include a 5-year workmanship warranty in addition to the product guarantee.

Local Homeowners See Long-Term Benefits

Fletcher Roofing reports that many Tucson homeowners are choosing underlayment replacement as a preventative measure to avoid costly interior water damage during monsoon season and to increase the resale value of their homes.

“With so many tile roofs in Tucson hitting the 15–25 year mark, this service is becoming essential,” the spokesperson added. “A new underlayment system doesn’t just protect the home — it’s also a powerful selling point in today’s real estate market.”

To help homeowners understand the condition of their tile roof, Fletcher Roofing is offering a Free Roof System Life Expectancy Report, which includes:
