Discolored New Concrete Tiles

CALLER

• Molly noticed discoloration of her new concrete tile roof built less than a year ago. The contractor took some of the tiles to the manufacturer yet the contractor said they might have to tint the roof and use a product to revive the color

COMMENTARY

• Skepticism about the solution since its not a typical issue with those tiles only a year old
• Notifying the home builder certified mail to document the issue within the two-year warranty or contract period
• Roofing materials and underlayments have significantly improved enhancing durability

The Elements Versus Roofs

COMMENTARY

• Arizona roofing requires specialized roofing solutions from extreme weather conditions
• Understanding differences between workmanship and manufacturer warranties
• Trimming overhanging trees and removing roof debris prevents damage from buildup

CALLER

• Rob replaced his concrete tile roof and noted in the valley they butted the concrete piles right up to each other. His realtor wife said there should be a four inch gap in the valley so leaves and debris doesn’t collect in the valley blocking rain from draining off the roof. A five-rib valley metal in tile roofing is a practical solution to prevent debris accumulation in the valley

CALLER

• Patrick asks what is the procedure to remove his array of solar panels for any maintenance or new roof install. Good to check with the manufacturer or installer for a one time removal and reinstall in the contract.
