Types of Tile Roofs We Install

There are different types of tile roofs to consider. Our team of experts would be happy to go over the pros and cons of each for your next roofing project. We want to help you find the best tile roofing options for your needs and budget.

Clay Tile

Clay is what tile is traditionally made out of it and it still continues to be a popular tile choice today. It will likely last the life of your building and is tested against fire, wind, hail, ice, and more. Clay tile is the heaviest tile option available, so it’s important to ensure that your home can support the weight. However, after installation, not only will you see a boost in your home’s curb appeal, but you’ll also see an improvement in its home value.

Concrete Tile

Concrete tiles are commonly used to mimic wood or slate shingles. They have many of the same attributes as clay tiles, although they are lighter in weight. They also have a slightly shorter service life compared to clay tiles, but you can still expect your concrete tile roof to last over 50 years when properly installed and maintained. Another benefit of concrete tile is that it can be painted any color you’d like.

Synthetic Tile

If you want a roof that has the looks and benefits of natural tile, but for a lower price, synthetic tile is a great option. Synthetic tile is sealed against moisture and is resistant to fire and impact. It also weighs less so you don’t have to worry about your home’s structural integrity prior to installation. The only difference is that they have a shorter lifespan of 30 to 50 years compared to clay and concrete tile.

Tile Roof FAQs

How often does a tile roof need to be replaced?

We’ve seen homes that still have their original tile roof in good condition. There are many different factors, though, that determine whether or not a roof needs to be replaced. If your tile roof has been installed properly and hasn’t experienced any extreme weather conditions, it could last anywhere between 50 and 100 years.

Do tile roofs require maintenance?

Tile roofs require minimal maintenance, such as keeping the surface clean, replacing broken tiles, and repairing damaged flashing when needed. We recommend having your roof inspected at least once or twice a year to ensure that you stay on top of necessary repairs in order to prolong the life of your roof.

Do tile roofs need gutters?

We recommend installing a gutter system on any roof to help drain water away from your roof and home.
