Serving Murrieta & surrounding areas
Tile roofs are everywhere in Murrieta, and they fail differently from the shingle roofs most national advice is written about. Your request goes to local roofers who work on the roofs this valley actually has.
Most Murrieta roofing calls are not whole-roof failures. They are a handful of cracked or slipped tiles, failed underlayment at a valley, or flashing that has pulled away around a chimney or skylight after a few seasons of Santa Ana wind. Concrete tile itself often outlasts the felt underneath it, which is why a twenty-year-old tile roof can look perfect from the street and still leak.
The other common one is a flat or low-slope section over a patio cover or room addition. Those need a different material and a different repair approach than the tile field around them, and they are usually where the water is actually coming from.
Because the valley gets most of its rain in a few concentrated storms, leaks tend to show up all at once in December and January, by which point every roofer in the area is triaging emergencies. Autumn, after the winds and before the rain, is the cheaper time to have someone look.

Questions
Concrete tile is a rain shield rather than a waterproof layer. The felt underlayment beneath it does the actual sealing, and that has a much shorter life than the tile. A roof can look immaculate and still be leaking through failed underlayment, usually at valleys or penetrations.
It depends on whether the underlayment has failed generally or only in one area. A localized repair is often the right answer. A roofer should be able to show you photographs of what they found rather than asking you to take a replacement quote on trust.
Autumn. The Santa Ana winds have already done their damage and the winter storms have not arrived, so you are not competing with everyone else who just discovered a leak during the first heavy rain.

Forecasters put a Labor Day tropical storm at the bottom of the list. The bigger story is the winter, where NOAA now gives better than nine in ten odds of a very strong El Niño. Here is what that means for a Murrieta tile roof, and what to look at while it is still dry.
