The distinctive elegance of this Mediterranean styled home was slightly marred by the years of wear and tear reflected on the red Roman tile roof and underlying woodwork. Since much of the tile was still usable, we removed and stacked it neatly on the upper porch to enable us to inspect and repair the decking underneath. After replacing or repairing the damaged tiles, decking, wood furring, weatherproofing, flashing, and stucco, we reset the tiles on the roof, intermixing the new and the old to create a pleasing visual arpeggio.
