Tile and TPO Roof Replacement in Sedona, Arizona

A residential property in Sedona, Arizona required a comprehensive roofing upgrade to address aging materials and ensure long-term protection for both steep-slope tile sections and low-slope roofing areas. The homeowner chose to complete the project as a privately funded improvement with no insurance claim or lender involvement.

The project combined tile roof restoration with a modern single-ply membrane system to create a unified roofing solution designed to withstand Sedona’s intense sun, seasonal monsoon rains, and temperature swings.

Challenge: Aging Underlayment and Mixed Roof Types Required a Coordinated Solution

The property featured a common Southwestern roofing design with steep-sloped sections covered in concrete tile and adjacent low-slope areas requiring a membrane roofing system. While the tiles themselves remained structurally sound, the underlying waterproofing layer had deteriorated with age.

In Sedona’s climate, prolonged UV exposure and dramatic temperature swings gradually break down traditional roofing underlayment. As that barrier weakens, moisture can penetrate around valleys, roof penetrations, and skylights, increasing the risk of interior leaks.

The home’s low-slope roof areas also required a durable membrane capable of handling standing water and extreme heat. Successfully integrating the tile system with a modern membrane system while maintaining proper drainage and waterproof transitions was essential for long-term performance.

Solution: Integrated Tile Roof Restoration and Versico TPO Installation

The roofing team implemented a dual-system solution that restored the tile roofing assembly while installing a high-performance TPO membrane across the low-slope sections of the home. This approach allowed the homeowner to preserve the aesthetic of the concrete tile roof while significantly upgrading the waterproofing components beneath it.

• Carefully removed existing concrete tiles and preserved them for reinstallation
• Removed deteriorated underlayment and prepared the roof deck
• Installed FT Synthetics Platinum HT-SA premium high-temperature self-adhered underlayment
• Installed new 1×2 cedar battens and replaced flashing components where necessary
• Reinstalled existing concrete tiles and replaced broken pieces as needed
• Installed new valley metal where required to improve drainage
• Waterproofed all penetrations using lead pipe jacks and flashing systems
• Installed Versico 60-mil reinforced TPO membrane across low-slope roof areas
• Added separation underlayment and protective roof mat beneath the TPO system
• Heat-welded membrane seams and installed molded pipe seals for watertight protection
• Completed wall tie-ins at parapet areas with reinforced coating and polyester fabric
• Reinstalled ventilation components and sealed all roof penetrations
• Protected the property during installation and completed full site cleanup

Result: Durable Weather Protection for a Sedona Home

The completed roofing project restored the full performance of the home’s roofing system while preserving the original concrete tile appearance. By replacing the aging waterproofing layers and integrating a modern membrane system, the roof now provides significantly improved resistance to water intrusion and long-term UV exposure.

The Versico TPO system delivers a smooth, heat-welded membrane designed for long-term weathering performance, while the upgraded tile underlayment ensures the steep-slope roof sections remain protected even during heavy monsoon storms common in Sedona.

For the homeowner, the project provided both practical and emotional benefits—stronger protection for the property, improved energy efficiency, and peace of mind knowing the roof is built to handle Sedona’s demanding desert climate for years to come.
