Metal Tile Roofing

What This Service Involves

Metal tile roofing offers Puget Sound homes the elegant profile of Mediterranean clay or concrete tile at a fraction of the weight, avoiding the structural upgrades heavy tile often requires. Formed from coated steel, these panels replicate the barrel or profiled tile look while shrugging off the freeze-thaw cracking that plagues real tile at higher Western Washington elevations. They resist moss and algae far better than porous concrete tile and never chip or shatter underfoot during maintenance. For homeowners wanting distinctive style with metal durability, metal tile is a standout in our climate.

Benefits

Tile appearance without the heavy structural load of clay or concrete; resists the freeze-thaw cracking real tile suffers at elevation; coatings resist Northwest moss and algae far better than porous tile; lightweight enough for most existing decking; long lifespan with minimal maintenance

Our Process

1) Confirm deck and framing can support the panel system and profile; 2) Install underlayment with eave and valley waterproofing; 3) Set metal tile panels on battens or deck per the profile; 4) Flash ridges, hips, and penetrations then inspect the finished field

What Affects the Cost

Panel profile and coating selection; roof size and geometry; batten versus direct-deck installation; hip, ridge, and valley detailing; decking or structural preparation

Best Time of Year

Late spring through early fall is the preferred season for metal tile installation around Puget Sound, with cooler-month projects staged during dry weather.
