Two-Story Mediterranean Tile Reroof
A two-story Mediterranean home photographed at three stages of its tile reroof. The photos show the parts of a roof nobody sees once the job is done: the dried-in underlayment and the tile staged for installation.

The project
What the Photos Show.
Global project · Southwest Florida 01Dry-in
The old tile is off and every roof plane is covered in new underlayment. At this stage the home is protected from rain even before tile goes back on.
Global project · Southwest Florida 02Tile loading
New tile is staged in stacks across the roof so the weight is spread out and installers can work plane by plane.

Why these details matter
- In Florida, the underlayment usually determines when a tile roof needs replacing, so the dry-in stage is where much of the long-term performance is decided.
- Loading tile evenly across the roof keeps weight distributed and lets crews work efficiently once installation starts.
- Photographing each stage creates a clear record of what went into the roof.
Our Process
A Better Roofing Process.
Four clear steps from first call to final walkthrough, built around documentation, communication and a jobsite you’d be comfortable walking through.
- 01
Inspect
Request your free, no-obligation roof inspection by phone or online. We assess the whole roof system, not just what’s visible from the ground.
- 02
Document & Estimate
Emergency services when they’re needed, then a detailed estimate built on aerial measurement (EagleView) and industry-standard estimating (Xactimate).
- 03
Plan
Where a storm loss is involved, we can meet with your insurance adjuster when needed. Then we set scope, materials and schedule with you.
- 04
Install & Complete
Experienced crews replace your roof on the timeline we set together, with a clean, organized jobsite from tear-off to final walkthrough.
Storm restoration
Experienced With the Restoration Process.
Global’s core expertise is restoring and replacing roofs after hurricanes, wind damage and other covered perils. When a storm loss is involved, we document the roof’s condition, prepare a detailed estimate and can meet with your insurance adjuster when needed.

What is a dry-in?
A dry-in is the stage when the old roof covering is removed and new underlayment is installed, making the home watertight before the finished roofing goes on.
Why is new tile stacked across the roof before installation?
Stacking tile across the roof spreads the load and puts material within reach of the installers on every plane, which keeps the work organized.
Does Global document roof replacements with photos?
Global photographs its work, as the stages on this page show, and documents roof conditions as part of its inspections.
