Choose tile as part of a complete roof system
Clay and concrete tiles give a roof its profile and character. The underlayment, attachment, flashing, and transitions beneath and around the tiles deserve equal attention. Review the entire scope when comparing replacement proposals.
When individual tiles are damaged
Cracked or displaced tiles may indicate a localized issue. An evaluation should also consider surrounding tiles, water entry, and the condition of the underlying roof system. Matching older tile profiles can affect repair options.
Plan changes before choosing a product
Bring association requirements, prior roof records, and any known structural changes to the discussion. A change of material or tile profile calls for a property-specific review of suitability, appearance, and installation details.
