Tile Roofing FAQ
How long does a tile roof last?
Clay tile roofs typically last 75-100 years, while concrete tile roofs last 50-75 years. With proper underlayment maintenance, many tile roofs far exceed these lifespans.
Are tile roofs heavy? Will my house support them?
Tile roofs are heavier than asphalt (9-12 lbs per sq ft vs 2-4 lbs). Most homes built for tile or with proper structural support can accommodate them. We assess structural requirements during our free estimate.
Can broken tiles be replaced?
Yes. Individual tiles can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding roof. We also maintain tile roofs through inspections, targeted tile replacement, worn flashing replacement, and, on older roofs, re-laying sections when needed. If a tile is no longer manufactured, we can often source reclaimed or vintage tiles for repairs and restorations.
How does tile perform in South Carolina's climate?
Tile roofing excels in South Carolina's hot, humid climate. The tiles resist moisture, insects, and rot while providing excellent thermal performance.
