San Juan Capistrano is clay tile country — from the historic district around the Mission to the equestrian properties off Ortega Hwy and the hillside homes of Marbella and Hunt Club. Our tile crews come up I-5 for exactly this work.
At McKay Roofing and Solar, we've been working roofs across San Diego County since 1981. We see the same roof types and the same failures over and over, so we're not guessing what works in your area.
Large tile roofs with original underlayment are the pattern: the tile looks timeless while the felt beneath it fails. Mature trees drop debris that dams valleys, and long Santa Ana wind runs lift ridge tiles on exposed hillsides.
We also see a lot of layered repairs. One patch over another. Those hold for a while, then fail together. Many calls start as a normal roof repair, but end up being bigger conversations once the roof is inspected fully.
Lift-and-relay preserves the clay tile character the city is known for. Estate work often adds copper valleys and high-temp underlayment. Where tile was never right for the structure, we engineer the correction instead of repeating the mistake.
We help homeowners decide when roof replacement makes sense instead of continuing short-term fixes. Every street is a little different here, so replacement plans need to match the structure, not just the material.
SDG&E territory — same rules and evening peak as San Diego. Estate lots give placement freedom for low-profile arrays, and battery backup suits properties where outages mean real disruption. Tile-integrated mounting protects the roof.
We often inspect the roof first to decide if solar installation should happen now or after roofing work. Doing things in the right order avoids pulling panels off again a few years later.
Clay tile roofing and solar under one license since 1981. Free estimates, financing available, and careful crews on historic and estate properties.
Being local also means faster follow-ups and better accountability. When a contractor’s shop is minutes away, problems get handled quicker once work starts.
