Concrete tile suits San Clemente buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question soonest. We see it on San Clemente roofs every week. Reclaimed tile can be matched on San Clemente heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
Phasing a large San Clemente building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole project at once. This holds across Orange County. Put simply, cost on a San Clemente roof covering comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. It is the same story on most San Clemente streets. Square footage is only half the cost of a San Clemente roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much.
