"I purchased this house brand new in 1984.  The house is roofed with cement tiles having an expected life of 50 plus years.  I experience failure of the underlayment in 38 years. Requiring roof tiles & underlayment removal.  Two sheets of damaged plywood replaced.  Replacing the underlayment (paper) did not increase the roof life expectancy or betterment.  It stopped the leak. The same roof tiles were placed back on the roof.  Work warranty for 10 years.  Tile life uninterrupted. "  Cost $16,000.00, far less than a new roof cost of $40,000.00 to $45.000.00.
