Our Expert Tile Roofing Repair Services
We focus on identifying hidden damage, stopping leaks precisely, and restoring the integrity of your tile roof without delay. Our approach prioritizes accuracy and efficiency to maintain the long-term protection your home needs.
Tile Roof Inspection
We start every repair project with a detailed inspection of your tile roof. This includes checking for cracked, loose, or missing tiles and assessing the condition of the underlying structure. We also examine flashing, gutters, and vents for signs of wear that could cause future problems.
Our inspections use both visual assessment and, when necessary, moisture detection tools to spot hidden damage. Documenting everything helps us plan repairs that address all issues without unnecessary work or cost.
Specialized Leak Detection
Leaks often appear late but cause extensive damage quickly. Our team uses targeted methods to identify the exact source of water intrusion, even when it’s not visible from the roof surface.
We employ infrared technology and water testing to trace leaks through tiles and underlayment. This precision prevents guesswork, ensuring repairs are focused and effective, which reduces disruption to your home.
Broken Tile Replacement
Replacing broken or damaged tiles requires skill to match your roof’s existing style and maintain waterproofing. We select tiles that fit both the visual and functional aspects of your roof.
During replacement, we handle nails, mortar, or clips carefully to secure new tiles firmly without damaging surrounding materials. Our technique preserves the roof’s durability and prevents further issues like shifting or leaks
Our Tile Roofing Repair Process
We follow a clear, step-by-step process to ensure each tile roofing repair meets high standards. From initial evaluation to long-term maintenance, we focus on accuracy, quality materials, and durability.
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by scheduling an on-site inspection to evaluate the condition of your tile roof. This includes identifying cracked, loose, or missing tiles, as well as checking for underlying issues like water damage or compromised flashing.
During the inspection, we also assess the roof’s structural integrity and note any safety hazards. Our team documents all findings with photos and detailed notes to build an accurate diagnosis.
Our goal here is to provide a clear picture of the repair needs and offer transparent options before any work begins.
2. Detailed Project Planning
After the assessment, we develop a tailored repair plan outlining the scope, materials required, timeline, and cost estimate. We prioritize matching new tiles to existing ones in style, color, and material to preserve your roof’s appearance.
We also plan for any necessary removal or replacement of damaged underlayment and sealing materials. This stage ensures a balanced focus on both aesthetics and long-term protection against weather elements.
Our team communicates each step clearly to help you make informed decisions before scheduling repair work.
3. Post-Repair Maintenance
Once repairs are complete, we recommend a maintenance routine to extend your tile roof’s lifespan. This includes periodic inspections, cleaning debris, and checking for tile displacement or wear.
We offer maintenance agreements to help you keep track of service schedules and proactively address minor issues before they escalate.
Proper upkeep reduces future repair costs and helps maintain the roof’s structural integrity and visual appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Roofing Repair
How much does tile roof repair cost?
Tile roof repair costs typically range from $200 for simple fixes to $2,500 for extensive repairs. Individual tile replacement costs less than major underlayment or structural work. Factors affecting price include the type of tiles, accessibility, extent of damage, and whether matching tiles are readily available. We provide free estimates and transparent pricing. Many tile repairs are more affordable than homeowners expect, especially when addressed promptly before damage spreads.
Can broken roof tiles be repaired or do they need replacement?
Minor cracks in roof tiles can often be repaired using specialized tile sealants or cement, but severely broken or shattered tiles typically need replacement. Hairline cracks are usually repairable, while tiles broken in half or missing large pieces require new tiles. We evaluate each damaged tile individually to determine the most cost-effective solution. We always try repair options first when structurally sound.
How do you fix cracked clay roof tiles?
We clean the cracked area thoroughly, apply a high-quality roofing cement or tile sealant specifically designed for clay tiles, and smooth the repair to match the tile's contour. For larger cracks, we may use mesh reinforcement before sealing. The repair is then painted or sealed to match the tile color and protect against water infiltration. This method works well for minor to moderate cracks that haven't compromised the tile's structural integrity.

How long do tile roof repairs last?
Quality tile roof repairs typically last 15 to 25 years when performed by experienced professionals. Simple tile replacements often last as long as the surrounding original tiles. Underlayment repairs and major structural work can last decades with proper installation. We warranty our repair work and use materials designed to match the longevity of your existing tile system.
