University Park tile, replaced properly.
University Park sits on a lot of clay and concrete tile, much of it original, most of it on underlayment that has long since aged out. The tile looks fine from the street and the roof leaks anyway, which is the single most common call we take here.
Our tile replacement in University Park is documented in eight photographs on this site. It shows the part homeowners never see — the tile lifted and stacked, the deck stripped, new underlayment down, and the original tile re-laid.
The housing stock here
Dense, well-kept 1920s through 1940s stock with a steady stream of tear-down rebuilds. Tile, slate, and heavy composition are all common, and lot lines are tight enough that access and cleanup matter.
What the weather does to University Park roofs
Hail cracks tile without bruising it, and a cracked tile does not leak until the underlayment beneath it has already failed. Post-storm inspections here are worth doing even when nothing looks wrong.

What University Park calls us for most
- Tile & Synthetic Roofing — Clay and concrete tile, plus the synthetic shake and slate systems that carry the look at a fraction of the structural load.
- Roof Replacement — Full tear-off down to the deck, new underlayment and flashing, and a magnet-swept yard before we pull off the street.
- Roof Repair — Leaks traced to the actual source, not patched where the stain shows up on the ceiling.

What homeowners in University Park ask us most.
Or just call (214) 698-8443The tile is the rain screen. The underlayment beneath it is the actual waterproofing, and it ages out decades before the tile does. On most University Park homes the fix is to lift the tile, replace the underlayment, and re-lay the same tile you already own.
Ground protection over beds and walks, a dumpster placed to keep the street usable, and a magnet sweep at the end of every day rather than only at the end of the job. On these lots that is the difference between a good and a bad experience.
