Tile Roofing
Phoenix Tile Roofing Experts

Tile roofing is beautiful but not waterproof. Tile roofing is a watershed and a decorative roof covering. The actual waterproofing is provided by the felt installed underneath the tile. Felt is organic and deteriorates over time, especially in the "Phoenix, Arizona sun". This usually takes 12 to 16 years, depending on several factors, and then the felt must be replaced.

Spanish tile roofing comes in a variety of styles and materials. They can consist of one piece “S” tiles seen on many modern office roofs or two piece roofing tiles, called “pans and tops” that you see in rustic, Spanish style homes. The tiles can be sand-cast, fired or made of lighter weight concrete.

Our experience has been that 75% of the tile roofs we inspect do not meet the UBC because they lack the necessary perimeter mechanical fastening and other problems inherent in tile roofing systems.

Sooner or later all tile roofs will undergo a tile R&R (Remove & Replace). In the mid to late 1980’s there was a glut of building in the metro Phoenix area and an abundance of substandard roofing felt imported from other countries was used as a tile roof underlayment for these roofs, both on commercial and residential applications.

As a result when a 12-15 year old tile roof starts to leak into the interior space it is usually a much bigger problem than is first thought. Often, it is a telltale sign that the felt is ruined. Delaying the complete replacement of the felt beneath the tile will only result in ongoing frustration for the occupants, not to mention the damage to the interior contents of the building.

Careful planning with a competent "tile roofing" contractor is the answer. It is the only way to get your tile roof problem properly analyzed. If a new underlayment system is warranted, getting the proper system so you only have to do the job once is of the utmost importance.
