Whether carved out of hard, gray slate or molded from soft clay, roof tiles stand as a testament to the homeowner’s distinguished taste. Although generally a heavier investment than most other types of roofs, tile roofs compensate for their initial cost through their longevity, with some types of tiles providing reliable cover for centuries.
However, as all good things come to an end, your study tile roof, too, may need to eventually be replaced.
With extensive experience in tile roofing, we recognize the characteristics and particulars of each type of tile roof, equipping us to help you decide when it is time to replace your roof and choose a suitable roof for your home.
Read on to learn more about common issues that arise with tile roofs, how to tell that your tile roof needs replacement, and how we can help.

What Our Customers Say
Common Issues with Tile Roofs
Despite their strength and sustainability, factors like age, weather, and lack of proper maintenance may cause damage to tile roofs. Common issues include:
Deterioration caused by water
Tiles are often made of porous material, which means that they easily absorb water. As rain and snow beats down on your tile roof, it can swell with water, with the weight causing additional strain on the framework.
Slipping tiles
Tiles can begin to slip if not adequately attached to the roof, their adhesive starts to wear out, or if they incur water-damage.
Cracked tiles
Tiles can crack from various reasons such as impact from a tree branch, hail, heavy footfall, or even age. Cracks can also form after water or snow freezes on the roof and expands to cause breaks within tiles. These cracks leave parts of your roof vulnerable to further damage.
Moss growth
Moss growing on tile roofs can absorb water, increasing in weight and pushing up tiles to expose the felt underneath .
Damage to felt
Roofing felt is commonly used in tile roofs as underlayment and helps to provide a barrier from moisture and extra insulation. Damage to felt allows water to seep into the sarking board under the felt, which can lose its structural integrity.
While a few of these signs of damage can be detected by an untrained eye, only an experienced roofing professional can identify the true extent of damage.
How to Tell When Your Roof’s Tile is Old or in Need of Replacement
All damage does not necessitate a roof replacement. While most minor damage can be fixed through repairs, severe damage may be fixable only through an entire roof replacement.
The following factors can help you determine whether you should get your roof replaced:
The Age
If your roof has exceeded its lifespan and is also exhibiting signs of damage, it may be the right time to think about replacing it.
Extent of damage
If the damage is widespread or impacts a significant portion of the roof, replacing the entire roof may be necessary to maintain its integrity and functionality.
Structural issues
Underlying structural issues, such as damaged felt and rotting deck, are typically not fixable through minor repairs and may require a replacement.
Persistent leaks
If you continue to experience leaks every now and then, your roof may have sustained significant damage that can only be addressed through replacing the roof.
Continuous repairs
If you find that you keep having to get repairs on your roof, it is possible that your roof has simply run out its natural course and a replacement is due to optimize cost and functionality in the long term.
Increasing energy bills
Steadily increasing energy bills may indicate that your roof is failing to provide adequate insulation. This can rarely be addressed through minor repairs, and a replacement may help to improve your energy efficiency and lower your energy bills.
While these factors can help you decide whether your tile roof needs to be replaced, the most important factor in making this notable decision is the opinion of an experienced roofing professional. A thorough inspection by a seasoned professional can help you make the best decision for your home or property.
Icon Roofing can help you with that by providing a meticulous, no-obligation roof inspection.
