Clay & Concrete Tile Roof Repair: Costs, Lifespan and Alternatives

Rainbow sits in San Diego County and takes long dry heat, hard thermal cycling and rain that arrives in a few concentrated storms. In practice that means asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

Check the licence, liability cover and workers' compensation, then ask any Rainbow contractor what happens if the deck is worse than expected — and get that answer in writing before the covering comes off.

In inland conditions, composition shingle runs roughly fifteen to twenty-five years, tile underlayment twenty to twenty-five, and coatings seven to fifteen depending on the system.

Granules in the gutters, curling tabs, repeat stains in the same ceiling after every storm, and soft spots underfoot. In Rainbow, asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.
