Tile roof repair, reset, and replacement in Thousand Oaks.
Median home in Thousand Oaks was built in 1978, in the years when whole tracts went up with tile over felt. That felt is the age of the house. The tile can usually come off and go back on over new underlayment.

What's true about Thousand Oaks roofs before we ever get on one.
Public records, not sales copy. Each line links to where it comes from.
- Housing. Median year built for housing in Thousand Oaks is 1978. About 56% of it went up before 1980. Single-family homes are 78% of the units. U.S. Census, ACS 2024 5-year
- Permits. City of Thousand Oaks Building Division (Ventura County). We pull the permit and pass the fee through at cost. department page
- Fire zone. Thousand Oaks has extensive Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone terrain along its Conejo and Santa Monica Mountains edges (Ventura County's 2025 maps), where Chapter 7A requires a Class A roof assembly and ember-resistant construction; flatter central parcels may not be. Confirm your specific parcel. You can check any parcel on the CAL FIRE hazard-zone viewer. CAL FIRE map
- Climate. California Energy Commission Climate Zone 9. The cool-roof rule applies to flat and low-slope sections only; a pitched tile roof is exempt here. CEC Title 24
- HOAs. Thousand Oaks was laid out as a planned city by the Janss Investment Company in the 1950s and incorporated in 1964. The newer master-planned tracts, Dos Vientos among them, carry HOAs; much of the older housing does not. Wikipedia: Dos Vientos, Thousand Oaks
How long tile underlayment lasts.
Old felt holds up while the tile above it stays intact. Once a tile breaks and water gets through, it fails fast. In my experience, often within a season or two.
Self-adhered underlayment lasts far longer, and the manufacturers stand behind it. Polyglass offers a labor-and-material limited warranty of up to 30 years on its self-adhered Polystick tile underlayment systems. That coverage is prorated, it's limited to specific Polystick systems, the roof has to be installed by a Polyglass registered contractor, and the warranty has to be registered with Polyglass. Westlake Royal TileSeal HT, the self-adhered tile underlayment from the company that bought Boral's roofing line in 2021, carries a limited 30-year warranty. Either way: "up to," and it depends on the system that goes on your roof.
Your tile, off and back on, with new underlayment between.
We take the tile off and set it aside, replace damaged wood, install new peel-and-stick underlayment, and put your original tile back. Every stage is photographed by drone, so you see the deck before the tile goes back on.

A 10-year workmanship warranty from me, in writing. The manufacturer's warranty on the materials runs 10 to 50 years depending on what goes on your roof; I tell you which applies before you sign. The agreement covers up to 10% wood replacement, with the per-sheet price written in for anything over. California caps the deposit at $1,000 or 10%, whichever is less, and you get three business days to cancel.
Two tile questions we hear in Thousand Oaks.
What's under the tile when you relay it?
Self-adhered peel-and-stick underlayment, Polyglass among others, never felt. When a nail goes through it, the rubberized asphalt seals around the nail, so a tile that breaks later doesn't become a leak.
Should I move my AC condenser off the roof?
If you're doing a re-roof or a tile reset, it's worth considering. Technicians walking the roof to service it are one of the most common causes of broken tile. The side of the house, or the attic if that works, keeps feet off the tile.

Financing available for qualified homeowners
You don't have to pay for a roof all at once. Financing is available for qualified homeowners, subject to qualification. Written itemized pricing first, financing second. If your re-roof needs a Title 24 cool-roof product, it may also qualify for PACE-style energy financing. Ask us and we'll confirm what applies to your property. How roof financing works in Los Angeles
