Important Considerations for Tile Roofs
Structural Requirements: Tile roofs are heavier than asphalt shingles. We'll assess your roof structure to ensure it can support the weight, and reinforce if necessary.
Professional Installation Required: Tile roofing requires specialized skills. Improper installation can lead to leaks and premature tile failure.
Walking on Tile: Tile can crack if walked on improperly. Our crews are trained in proper tile roof access techniques.
