Tile Roof Repair

What This Service Involves

Concrete and clay tile roofs hold up for decades in the Northwest, but individual tiles crack from foot traffic, falling branches, and freeze-thaw cycles east of the Cascades. The tile itself sheds water, yet the underlayment beneath does the real waterproofing, and that layer degrades long before the tiles do. We carefully lift surrounding tiles, replace broken pieces with matching profiles, and renew failed underlayment sections without cracking the good tiles around them. Our crews know how to walk a tile roof safely so a repair does not create three new breaks.

Benefits

Restores both the tile surface and the underlayment barrier; Matches tile profile, color, and era for a seamless look; Prevents moss-driven cracking common in our damp climate; Avoids collateral breakage through proper walk techniques; Keeps water out of the deck during heavy winter rains

Our Process

1) Assess broken tiles and probe the underlayment condition; 2) Lift and stack surrounding tiles to reach the failure; 3) Replace cracked tiles and renew the underlayment beneath; 4) Reset tiles, secure them, and inspect the finished section

What Affects the Cost

Availability of matching clay or concrete tile stock; Condition of the underlayment across the repair zone; Number of tiles broken and the area affected; Roof steepness and safe walkability of the tile field; Presence of moss or debris requiring cleanup first

Best Time of Year

Summer and early fall let underlayment adhesives set properly, though we address broken tiles causing active leaks anytime.
