Ceramic Tile Comes Off, Permatile Goes On: A Full Roof Transformation
This job walk-through catches a full roof transformation mid-swing: the crew tore off a ceramic tile roof and is installing a Permatile system in its place, because the customer decided they wanted to change up the look. The material landed the day before, the crew is, in the narrator's words, rocking and rolling, and the closing shot earns the verdict on camera: man, that is a beautiful roof.
What switching roofing systems actually involves
Changing from one roof type to another is more than swapping the surface you see. Everything comes off down to the decking, and that tear-off is the most valuable inspection your roof will ever get: rotten or delaminated sheathing gets found and replaced instead of hidden under new material.
- Full tear-off to the deck, with damaged sheathing replaced before anything new goes down
- New underlayment, the waterproof layer that does the real work under any roof system
- Flashing, drip edge, and penetrations redone to match the new system, not reused from the old one
- Weight matters: tile systems are heavy, so changing systems is also a structural conversation, handled in the design and permit stage
Why homeowners change roof types at replacement time
Replacement is the one moment a roof's look, weight, and performance are all on the table at once. Some owners want a different style, like the change-up in this video. Others switch because their original tile has been discontinued and clean repairs are impossible to match, or because they want a system rated for better wind performance or a lighter load on the structure. The honest advice is the same in every case: pick the system for the next 20 years, not just the next season, because you are buying the tear-off either way.
