Tile roof vs. shingles — what’s the difference? 👷‍♂️🏠

We get this question a lot, especially here in Southern California.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Tile Roofing

✔️ Longer lifespan (often 50+ years)
✔️ More durable in heat and weather
✔️ Higher-end look and curb appeal
✔️ Lower maintenance over time

Things to consider:
➖ Higher upfront investment
➖ Heavier material (roof structure matters)

Shingle Roofing

✔️ Lower upfront cost
✔️ Faster installation
✔️ More style/color options
✔️ Easier repairs in some cases

Things to consider:
➖ Typically shorter lifespan than tile

The “best” option depends on your budget, home style, and long-term goals.

What would you choose — tile or shingles? 👇

A lot of people see roofing going on… but don’t realize how much planning and coordination happens behind the scenes to keep a job running smoothly. 👷‍♂️

For this ADU, the crew used a roof tile drop system to strategically move materials onto the roof safely and efficiently rather than relying only on manual carrying.

Why it matters:
✔️ Keeps the workflow moving efficiently
✔️ Improves safety on site
✔️ Reduces unnecessary strain on the crew
✔️ Helps the project stay organized and on schedule

At SEB, we’re always looking for ways to work smarter, communicate clearly, and keep projects moving the right way from start to finish.

It’s the behind-the-scenes details like this that make a big difference in the overall build experience.

A little vision goes a long way 👏

From outdated ➜ dialed in ✨

This bathroom had potential — it just needed the right layout, finishes, and attention to detail to bring it to life.

Behind the scenes with the SEB team 👷‍♂️

One thing we don’t compromise on? Communication.

From clients to employees to subcontractors — every detail of a project depends on everyone being on the same page.

Dustin and Omar breaking down what that looks like in real time:
✔️ Clear expectations from day one
✔️ Constant communication across the entire team
✔️ Keeping clients involved every step of the way

Because when communication is dialed in, the details fall into place — and that’s what makes a project run smoothly.

At SEB, you’re not left in the dark — you’re part of the process.

You’d be surprised how much goes into a build before anything gets covered up. 👇

What you’re seeing in this reel is some of the most important work — both underground and behind the walls — that keeps a home running properly every day.

This stage includes:
✔️ Underground plumbing for water and sewer lines
✔️ Electrical rough-in for power, lighting, and outlets
✔️ In-wall plumbing for supply and drainage 🚿

Next up: HVAC rough-in — installing ductwork and ventilation before insulation and drywall go in.

Once everything is covered, you won’t see any of this again — but it has to be done right the first time to ensure safety, efficiency, and long-term performance.

It’s not the flashiest part of the build, but it’s one of the most critical.

Addition Progress Update 🏗️

We’re in the exterior wall phase of this home addition. After framing and sheathing, we install building paper and lath, then apply the first coat of stucco (the scratch coat).

This stage is important because it:
✔️ Protects the structure from moisture
✔️ Adds durability to the exterior
✔️ Creates the base for the final finish

It might not look finished yet, but this is a key step in blending the new addition seamlessly with the existing home.

Next up: additional stucco coats and exterior finishing details.

ADU progress update!

Mitch just walked us through the latest stage of this build — framing is up and the sheathing is on, so the structure is really taking shape now.

Next up: roof trusses going in, then we’ll be moving into roofing and rough utilities.

This is where an ADU starts transforming from plans into real living space — adding value, flexibility, and long-term opportunity to the property.

Progress update on this ADU build!

We’ve officially moved into the framing phase — one of the most exciting parts of the process where the layout, rooms, and overall structure start becoming real.

Here’s what’s happening in this stage:
✔️ Exterior walls framed and secured
✔️ Door & window openings set
✔️ Structure taking its full shape

Next up: roofing, utilities, and bringing this space even closer to move-in ready.

ADUs are one of the smartest ways to add living space, rental income, and long-term value to your property — and this one is coming together beautifully already.
