Roofing Type

Tile Roofing

A durable, distinctive option common in warmer climates — built differently than asphalt or metal roofs.

Clay and concrete tile roofs are common in warmer, sunnier climates and known for their distinctive look and long lifespan. They're heavier than other materials, so the underlying structure and installation approach both matter more than with asphalt.

Good Fit For

Homes in hot or coastal climates
Homeowners prioritizing a specific architectural look
Long-term durability with proper maintenance

Worth Considering

Heavier than asphalt or metal — structural capacity should be confirmed
Individual tiles can crack and need occasional replacement
Installation and repair require specific tile experience

Questions Worth Asking a Roofing Company

Has the roof structure been confirmed to support tile weight?
What's the process if individual tiles crack or need replacing?
Is the roofing company experienced specifically with tile systems?
