Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t some roofers recommend tile roofing?
Tile roofing is durable and attractive, but it requires specialized experience, tools, and labor. Some roofers avoid recommending tile simply because they don’t specialize in it. Improper installation or repairs can easily crack tiles or compromise the underlayment, so tile roofs are best handled by contractors with specific tile expertise.
How often does a tile roof need maintenance, and how long does it last?
Tile roofs themselves can last 40–75 years or more, but the underlayment beneath the tiles typically lasts 20–30 years. Maintenance inspections are recommended every 1–2 years and after major storms. Even if tiles look fine, the underlayment is often the determining factor for repairs or replacement.
Why do many roofers avoid working on tile roofs?
When replacing a roof, how do shingles compare to composite tile?
Asphalt shingles are less expensive upfront and quicker to install, but they typically last 20–30 years. Composite tile offers the look of tile with less weight, better durability than shingles, and a longer lifespan. The right choice depends on budget, structural capacity, and long-term plans for the home.
What are the pros and cons of metal tile roofing?
Metal tile roofing combines the appearance of tile with the benefits of metal, lighter weight, excellent wind resistance, and long lifespan. The main drawback is the higher upfront cost, but many homeowners find the durability and performance worth the investment, especially in storm-prone areas.
Are tile roofs a good choice for Florida homes?
Yes. Tile roofs perform very well in Florida when installed correctly. They offer excellent heat resistance, wind performance, and longevity. However, proper underlayment, fastening, and regular inspections are essential due to Florida’s storms and humidity.
Should I replace my concrete tile roof with asphalt shingles?
In many cases, replacing tile with shingles is not recommended unless there’s a structural or budget-driven reason. Tile generally outperforms shingles in longevity and storm resistance. Downgrading materials may reduce home value and durability unless carefully evaluated.
Broken tiles on a one-year-old roof. Can this be DIY?
What are alternatives to heavy and expensive concrete or paver roof tiles?
Popular alternatives include composite tile, metal tile, and standing-seam metal roofing. These options reduce roof weight, offer excellent durability, and often provide similar aesthetics with lower long-term maintenance needs.
Do tile roof valleys require cleaning or maintenance?
Yes. Valleys naturally collect debris, dirt, and organic material. Even if there are no visible issues, neglected valleys can trap moisture and accelerate underlayment failure. Periodic inspection and cleaning help prevent leaks and extend roof life.
