What is tile roof installation?
As the name suggests, tile roof installation refers to the process of installing durable tile pieces to your roofing underlay. To begin the process, we apply an asphalt-saturated material covering to the surface of your roof.
This material must be properly attached in order to prevent overlying tiles and ensure the durability of your roof for years to come. Next, we install high-quality, corrosion-resistant metal flashing around chimneys, conduits, vents. After the roofing underlay is complete, we install your chosen tiles until the full surface of the roof is covered, applying mortar as needed.
A Message from Dr. Roof
Tile roofing is an excellent choice for properties in high-temperature, coastal areas. To create a watertight roof, tiles should always be installed on sturdy structural supports and at slopes of more than 20 degrees. To support a tile roof, you’ll need to create a roofing structure that is capable of withstanding as much as 850 pounds per square foot of clay tile and 950 pounds per square foot of concrete tile.

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that tile is actually an eco-friendly roofing material! This is because tile is made from natural minerals that can be pulverized and recycled when the roof is eventually replaced. Furthermore, tile provides excellent insulation and can be customized to suit a broad range of aesthetic preferences.
One of the major challenges of tile roof installation is the cost of the process. In fact, installing a tile roof can cost between two and three times as much as asphalt roofing. This increased price tag comes from the cost of construction materials and labor. The tile installation process is extremely difficult and should be completed by licensed roofing professionals.
Installing a tile roof is an investment in the future of your home! Tile is extremely long-lasting and may remain in good condition for more than 100 years! Additionally, tile roofing has been used throughout history, and we’ve seen how durable it can be. It is very resistant to the elements, impervious to rot, and unlike wood, it will not decay over time.
Roofing tile can be made from many different materials such as clay, ceramic, and concrete. Tiles are available in a wide variety of colors and styles, with some even resembling other materials such as shingles or wood shakes. With such a versatile material, there’s a tile out there for everyone!
One of the reasons tile roofs are so popular is because they require very little maintenance. Leaks are uncommon occurrences, and individual tiles rarely break unless they’ve sustained a heavy impact.
