Maintaining Tile Roofs in Sedona’s Summer Climate

Degraded Underlayment
Debris and Moss in Valleys
A Sedona Tile Roof Care Routine
- Yearly Cleaning & Inspection : Walk the roof or get a professional to inspect tile, valleys, flashings, and underlayment seams right before monsoon season.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a broom or low-pressure rinse to remove debris—don’t power-wash. Avoid pushing tile ridges out of place ([turn0search11]).
- Replace Damaged Tiles : One cracked tile is a weak link. We swap them out fast to maintain waterproof protection.
- Underlayment Check : If you’re near the 12–20 year mark, schedule an underlayment inspection. Often it’s cheaper to reline roofing than to replace it entirely.
- Clear Valleys and Gutters : A tile roof's drainage system must flow. Debris impairs this, especially before storms.
- Flashing and Seal Re-Sealing : Cement or metal flashings around chimneys and vents should be loose today, not leakage pathways tomorrow. Seal them before storms hit.
