Tile Roof Replacement on 20th Street, San Francisco

The Ramirez family had lived in their 20th Street home for three generations. Grandmother Elena had raised her children under that terracotta tile roof, and now her granddaughter Sofia was raising her own kids in those same rooms. But time had caught up with the old clay tiles—storms had cracked dozens of them, and every heavy rain brought anxiety. “This roof has protected my family since 1954,” Elena told us, running her hand along a salvaged tile. “Can you make it beautiful again?”

We promised we would, and we meant it. Over five careful days, our team removed each weathered tile, treating them with the respect they deserved. We reinforced the structure beneath, making it stronger than ever, then began laying gorgeous new clay tiles that matched the home’s classic character perfectly. Sofia had worried the new roof would look too modern, out of place in the neighborhood, but we had a surprise for her. 

We’d cleaned and saved some of the original tiles, incorporating them as accent pieces near the chimney a bridge between past and present. When we finished, three generations of the Ramirez family stood in the driveway, looking up at their renewed roof. Elena had tears in her eyes. “It looks just like I remember,” she whispered.
