Cracked Clay Tiles: Why One Bad Step Matters
Clay tile lasts a long time, but the wrong footstep cracks it. Here's how tile repair really works and when a tile roof needs replacing.
Tile needs a different approach from shingle or metal. Cracked and slipped tiles are usually a repair, not a reason to replace the roof.
Tile repair
We replace cracked tiles with matching tile, reset slipped ones, and check the underlayment beneath them. Clay tile itself lasts a long time. The layer under it is usually what fails first, and it’s often where the real leak is.
Walking a tile roof takes care
The wrong footstep cracks tile. Anyone inspecting or repairing yours should know where to step. Our crews do.
When it’s a replacement
When the underlayment has reached the end of its life across the roof, we plan a full tile replacement. Tile takes longer than shingle by nature, and you’ll get a realistic number of days before we start.
