Tile Roof

Tile Roofs

Tile roofing is a timeless and durable option that adds character and long-lasting protection to homes. Known for its classic appearance and superior durability, tile roofs are made from materials such as clay or concrete, which can last for decades. Tile roofing provides exceptional weather resistance, making it an excellent option for homeowners seeking both aesthetics and durability.

Remove Old Roofing

Just like with other roofing systems, any existing roof material must be removed before installing tiles. This step is crucial to ensure the roof deck is clean and ready for proper installation.

Removing the old roof also allows us to inspect the structure for any hidden issues like rot or leaks.

Inspect and Reinforce the Roof Deck

Tile roofing is heavier than other materials like shingles or metal, so the roof deck must be inspected for structural integrity. If necessary, reinforcements are added to support the extra weight of the tiles.

This step ensures the roof can handle the load over the long term.

Install Underlayment

A high-quality underlayment is installed across the roof deck. This acts as a waterproof barrier between the tiles and the deck, providing crucial protection against water infiltration, especially in areas with heavy rainfall.

In tile roofing, the underlayment is vital for keeping the roof watertight.

Lay and Secure Tiles

The tiles are carefully laid out, starting from the bottom edge of the roof and working upward. Each tile is aligned and secured using nails or clips, depending on the tile type.

The installation process ensures that the tiles overlap correctly to create a protective, weatherproof layer.

Install Ridge Tiles and Flashing

Specially designed ridge tiles are placed along the roof’s peak, and flashing is installed around chimneys, vents, and other roof features. These elements are essential for preventing water intrusion and ensuring a seamless, durable roof.

A final inspection is done to confirm that all tiles are properly installed and secure.

Benefits of Tile Roofs

Tile roofs provide homeowners with a long-lasting solution that can withstand the test of time, offering unmatched weather resistance and minimal maintenance. With a wide variety of styles and colors, tile roofing allows you to enhance your home’s curb appeal while ensuring lasting protection.

Long Lifespan – Tile roofs are known for their exceptional longevity, often lasting 50 years or more with proper care. Clay and concrete tiles are extremely durable and can withstand decades of wear and tear, making them a long-term investment for homeowners.
Weather Resistance – Tile roofs are highly resistant to harsh weather conditions, including extreme heat, heavy rain, and high winds. Their weight and solid construction make them particularly effective in areas prone to storms or hot climates.
Fire Resistance – Tiles are naturally non-combustible, offering excellent fire protection for your home. This fire resistance adds an extra layer of safety, especially in regions where wildfires are a concern.
Low Maintenance – Once installed, tile roofs require minimal upkeep. They are resistant to mold, rot, and insect damage, which reduces the need for frequent repairs. Periodic inspections and occasional tile replacements are typically all that’s needed to keep a tile roof in great shape.
Energy Efficiency – Tile roofs have natural insulating properties, which help regulate your home’s temperature. The air gaps created by the tiles allow for better air circulation, helping to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, ultimately reducing energy costs.
Aesthetic Appeal – Tile roofing adds a distinct and timeless aesthetic to your home. Available in a variety of colors and styles, including Mediterranean, Spanish, and contemporary designs, tile roofs significantly enhance curb appeal and add character to any property.

Our Work

Just had my roof replaced by FXD Roofing and these guys were great! I can say they were friendly and super helpful from the start of the project until they were complete. The estimate they gave was fair and they explained everything clearly to me. The team showed up on time and worked hard. The mess of replacing our roof was also completely cleaned up.
