Exploring the Types of Tile Roofing

Tile roofing offers a rich heritage and modern performance. As your local Utah tile roofer, we specialize in the installation and repair of all major tile types:

• Clay Tile: The classic choice, renowned for its natural, earthy tones and exceptional longevity. Clay tiles are incredibly durable and their color is baked-in, meaning it will never fade from Utah’s intense sun. They are most famous in styles like:
  • Spanish/Mission Tile: The iconic “S” or barrel shape that creates a beautiful, rolling appearance, perfect for Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial architecture.
  • French Tile: A more intricate, interlocking profile that offers excellent water shedding and a refined look.
• Concrete Tile: An engineered alternative that offers incredible strength, versatility, and a more accessible price point. Concrete tiles can be molded into a wide variety of shapes and colors, realistically mimicking the look of natural clay, wood shake, or slate.
  • High & Low Profile Shapes: Available in everything from a high-profile “S” tile to a completely flat profile for a sleek, modern look.
  • Color-Through Technology: Many modern concrete tiles have color mixed throughout the material, so any chips or scratches are far less noticeable.

Why Choose a Tile Roof for Your Utah Home?

A tile roof is a premium system with a powerful set of advantages, making it an excellent long-term investment for discerning Utah homeowners.

• Exceptional Longevity: A professionally installed tile roof can easily last 50 to 100 years or more. It is truly a “lifetime” roofing system that you will never have to worry about replacing again.
• Superior Durability & Weather Resistance: Tile is extremely resistant to damage from hail, high winds, and impact. It will not rot, curl, or burn, and it stands up exceptionally well to Utah’s challenging freeze-thaw cycles.
• Class A Fire Rating: Both clay and concrete tiles are non-combustible, offering the highest level of fire protection available. This is a critical safety feature for homes in any part of Utah, especially near canyons or wildlands.
• Stunning Aesthetics & Curb Appeal: A tile roof provides a distinctive, high-end look that dramatically enhances your home’s curb appeal and can significantly increase its resale value.
• Energy Efficiency: The natural thermal mass of tiles and the air space created by the batten system installation form a natural ventilation barrier. This “air-conditioning” effect helps to insulate your home, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which can reduce your energy costs.

Our Specialized Tile Roofing Services

Working with tile requires a specific skill set and deep experience. Our Licensed & Insured crews are true tile roofing craftsmen.

• Tile Roof Installation: We are experts in the proper installation of the entire tile roof assembly, including the critical underlayment, batten systems, and custom flashing required for a fully functional and watertight system.
• Tile Roof Repair: We specialize in tile roof leak detection and repair. We can carefully remove and replace cracked or broken tiles, address issues with slipped tiles, and perform underlayment repairs, which are often the true source of leaks.
• Tile Roof Maintenance & Tune-Ups: We provide professional maintenance to ensure your tile roof remains in perfect condition, including replacing broken tiles, checking for slipped tiles, and ensuring flashing and underlayment are intact.

The Underlayment: Your Tile Roof’s Unseen Hero

While the tiles provide the beautiful, durable outer shell, the underlayment is the true waterproofing layer of your roof. For older tile roofs in Utah, the underlayment often fails long before the tiles do. We specialize in “lift and re-lay” services, where we carefully remove your existing tiles, replace the old, worn-out underlayment with a modern, high-performance membrane, and then re-install your original tiles, effectively giving you a brand-new roof for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Roofing

Is my house strong enough to support a tile roof?

This is a critical consideration. Tile roofs are significantly heavier than asphalt shingle roofs. As part of our Free Inspection & Estimate, we will assess your home’s structure. In some cases, a structural engineer may need to be consulted to ensure your home can support the additional weight.

Are tile roofs expensive?

Tile roofs have a higher upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles or even metal. However, because they can last 2-3 times as long (or longer), their overall lifecycle cost is often lower, as you will likely never need to replace your roof again.

Can you walk on a tile roof?

It is not recommended for homeowners to walk on a tile roof, as improper foot placement can easily crack the tiles. Our professional crews are trained in the proper techniques to navigate a tile roof without causing damage.

How do you match a broken tile for a repair?

We have access to a wide variety of new and reclaimed tiles. We will do our best to find an exact match for your existing tile. If an exact match isn’t available, we can often take a tile from a less visible area of the roof to use for the repair and place the new, slightly different tile in that inconspicuous spot.

What is the most common repair needed for a tile roof?

The most common issues are broken or slipped tiles and the deterioration of the underlayment beneath the tiles. While the tiles themselves can last a century, the underlayment typically needs to be replaced every 20-30 years.
