A question for roofers on CWT....

[eddielasvegas]

Hello All,

I know there are some folks here who do this for a living and I have a question or two that I'm hoping can be answered.  I'm in Scottsdale.

1) Do I need two layers of underlayment?

2) What weight?  #30 ok or will #40 last longer?

Any other info I need before I have a new roof installed?

Thanks,

Eddie

What type of roofing? Tile, shingles, metal?

Now that would help, wouldn't it?  I can't find an emoji to show I'm a dumbazz for leaving that out so words will have to do. 😆

Concrete tiles are on our roof.  Attached is a pic in case I'm incorrect.

Thanks all,

Two layers for sure. 40 lb is the standard.

You have a flat concrete tile roof. 40# should work fine with a double layer. 

Thanks a million RB.

One more question:  All flashing should be removed and redone, right?

Thanks,

Eddie

I built my current house in 1990. I used one layer of 40# i have S tiles.  I tore my chimney off a couple of years ago and had the roofer there to fix the 10x20 area that I replaced the sheeting on.  He said my felt was in great shape and no need to re roof anytime soon.  

Most of the tile roof jobs that I used to bid for him ended up being a peel n stick type underlayment. 

Felt must be really crappy these days if it takes 2 layers of 40#

Global warming, burning out faster, lol

My next time roof will have runners vertical under the stickers. Water can run under them.  I see a lot of churches doing it this way. Might need bigger bird stop at the bottom
