Re: Tile Roof Help Please
Matt,

The underlaymnet in your photo is PolyStick, from PolyGlass Corp. The underlayment is not rated for permanent exposure, so it needs to be covered.

The exposed nail/screwhead on those tiles means the headlap is too short. It should be a minimum of 3 inches.

Obviously, loose tiles (or no fastener) need to be corrected.

The specs on nail size relate to Uplift, sheathing thickness, and other factors. I believe one 10d nail or #8 screw is allowed in most areas around here.

Check out the Tile Roofing Institute's specs, back of the guide, here:
