I've been waiting 2+ YEARS for a dry roof and it is coming top pass! :-)

Two days of unloading/setting up equipment and supplies and day 3 "roof surgery"! Done RIGHT!

It was probably leaking for many years before that. I wonder how
much damage they'll find underneath the leaky tiles.

I thought they had done that months ago when they cashed the deposit cheque.

I have no idea. I do recall when he first bought the house there was
repair work done on that clay tile roof. He bragged about how much
money he paid those people, too. Now he's having to have it re-done.

Roofing is done from bottom up.

Yep, and it must have cleared, or all their stuff would have
vanished immediately.

It will soon be the fanciest indian student flop house in da loo.

Soon it will be known as the Taj Kuth mansion.

Maybe that was before he was enlightened and discovered Buddha and
the old world tile roof company.

Like when Popeye was aimlessly wandering Brooklyn, eating every
penis that came along. Then magically scored an old woman from mexico.

Funny, but if I spent a couple thousand bucks on repairs and a year
later I had to spend another $113K I would not be thrilled to have to
hire the same people who had done an expensive non repair.

Nope! NO roof repairs done until now! And Old World Roofing knows what they are going, and specializes in tile and slate roofing:

Yes, but removing tiles you plan on keeping to reinstall would be top down.

Lance the foreman handed the topmost red clay tile piece/cap that was perfect, handed to another worker and said "Put this someplace sacred".

That corrugated plastic next to the shingle roof is pretty sexy!

No, that is some fiberglass corrugated sheets probably 30 or more years old and one is cracked and makes noise in strong winds. They need replacing.

Nah. They dropped it in a 6-month CD account and made about $1,000
on his money in that time.

That $1,000 almost paid for all the materials Total cost of labor
will be about $6K - assuming 30 8-hour manpower days and not
including decking which costs extra. So that's at least $100,000+
pure profit.

Because would be the hardest to find and most expensive piece to
replace if they had to BUY some used tile <gasp>.

Everything is about DOLLARS to you! I'm getting a professionally RESTORED WATERTIGHT 100% traditional roof on a 1930 built brick home! Of course it's gonna be expensive, workers built this house during The Depression of 1929 when tons of laborers were willing to work cheap!

And now it's expensive!

Roof touchups are fairly common to stall for a little time before
a whole roof job is necessary.

I hope you find something better.  They have steel painted in terracotta
that would be a close match to your new roof:

Maybe something other than that ugly corrugated is in order.
