Plenty on my plate these past few years to sit and fret about things
that haven't happened yet.
1. tear off all tiles
2. maybe, tear off old 90#
3. hot mop on new 90#
4. put on new tiles, nailing the first course and affixing the rest with
mortar
5. get a loan to pay for the above
I howled after reading this. I do a lot of roof work and tile
replacement and repair is in my toolbox as I have a good technician
for small repairs, access to a huge tile boneyard, and work with a
great tile installation sub contractor.
You have no idea how true #5 is... I LOVE tile work as it is hard to
master, but literally pays much, much better than anything else I
do. By a long shot. A re-lay is one thing, but repairs....
Ahhhh....
Usually, my customers have already had tile repairs done incorrectly,
and that makes me a referral from another customer. Since they are
coming to me after they have had an unsuccessful dealing with a tile
roof repair contractor and because I give them a written warranty
(something unheard of on roof repairs) and because I have confidence
in my troubleshooting and repair abilities, I get my price. Most tile
repair guys screw up more than they fix, so they don't warranty their
work or slip out of it if the warranty is exercised.
Like I said, I LOVE tile repairs. And OP's barrel tiles (if they are
a true, two piece, clay extrusion) are the hardest tile roofs to
trouble shoot and repair. They are the most expensive to repair of
all roofs.
