Tile re-underlayment
McCormick Ranch, Scottsdale
Lift-and-set, original Eagle tile preserved
Completed May 2026
Roof material
Tile is the dominant Arizona residential roof for good reason. It shrugs off sun, takes 50+ years, and fits the desert vernacular. The catch: the underlayment under the tile typically fails in 20 to 25 years, long before the tile itself does. HailCo specializes in tile install and re-underlayment.
How we do it
01
When underlayment fails but tile is still good, we lift the existing tile, replace the underlayment, and re-set the tile. You save the cost of new tile and keep the roof you already love.
02
For tile repairs we match profile and color from current inventory or salvage. No mismatched patches that scream 'fixed it cheap'.
03
Hairline cracks usually don't need replacement. Broken pans do. We'll show you the difference rather than upselling intact tile.
Pricing context
Not an exact quote - every roof is different, but a real range based on what we see across the Phoenix metro on this service line.
Lift-and-set re-underlayment $8,500 to $16,000. Full tile replacement $14,000 to $32,000. Specifics vary by profile and color match.

See all reviews →“We had our roof replaced by Hailco Roofing and are very pleased with their services. Bryson Engholm was extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of the process from working with our insurance company to the final installation of the roof. He kept in touch with us on a constant basis and has a way of making you feel included. He is an awesome person to have in your corner seeing that your needs are meet. Frank Pyle was the project manager on day of installation. He is great and his crew was fantastic. They worked efficiently as a team and left nothing behind. They left our yard free of debris and damage. We highly recommend Hailco Roofing for any of your roofing needs.”

“Hailco roofing is an awesome company to work with. They worked with my insurance to help get my roof replaced, helped walk me through what my policy would cover and what they could do. Tanner was a huge help in keeping in communication as well as once their install crew was scheduled that side also kept me informed. They were able to work with solar panels as well, making the whole process seem less and stress free. I would 100% recommend this company and use them again if needed.”

“Hello, I had the pleasure of working with Hailco Roofing. They replaced my dad's roof. Everyone I worked with were very nice. They took care of all the paperwork and contacting the insurance themselves I didn't have to do anything. When it came down to replacing the roof the crew was fast and efficient. When finished they cleaned up all the debris and left nothing behind. Now I'm in the process of replacing my roof and I'm also using Hailco Roofing. Thank you so much to all the team.”

FAQ
The tile itself: 50+ years. The underlayment beneath it: 20 to 25 in Arizona. Most 'tile roof failures' are actually underlayment failures.
Yes, there's a technique to it. Our crews are trained on tile-specific load paths. Untrained walkers crack pans, full stop.
Clay is lighter, more expensive, and lasts longer — 75+ years in Arizona. Concrete is heavier, less expensive, and runs 50 years. Structural clearance, HOA spec, and budget usually make the decision.
Annual inspections to catch cracked or slipped tiles before they let water in. Occasional ridge-cap mortar inspection. Arizona clay and concrete tile is low-maintenance but not no-maintenance.
Yes for thermal mass and air gap: tile naturally ventilates above the deck, which reduces heat transfer into the attic meaningfully compared to direct-bond shingle.
