Does Your Tile Roof Need to Be Repaired? 

While tile roofs are durable, they can still develop problems over an extensive period of time. The trouble is that it is not always easy to identify when a tile roof is failing, since its issues sometimes look different from a typical shingled roof. 

Never ignore the signs that a tile roof is facing trouble, including issues like: 

• Broken or cracked tiles: In addition to looking unattractive, chipped or broken tiles can allow water to seep into the roof, leading to leaks and damage to the roof structure.
• Missing or dislodged tiles: When there are gaps from missing tiles, this allows debris to accumulate on the roof. The weight of this debris can cause leaks, as water seeps in between the tiles.
• Damaged flashing: Similar to other roofs, a tile roof can be hurt when its flashing is faulty. The flashing around vents, chimneys, and other areas of the roof can become torn by the wind and severe rain.

The Benefits of using Certified Ludowici Tiles for Your Roof Replacement

There are many tile companies out there, but few can compete with Certified Ludowici tiles, 

known for their durability and longevity. With a lifespan of up to 100 years or more, these tiles are capable of resisting extremely high winds, hail, heavy rain, and even snow buildup. In comparison to other materials, Ludowici tiles also require minimal maintenance. Mold, mildew, and pests are kept at bay, and these tiles can be easily cleaned with a power washer or a mild cleaning solution. 

How Long Does a Tile Roof Replacement Take?

The amount of time it takes to conduct the entire installation greatly depends on how damaged the roof was, as well as how large and intricate the building is. Sometimes, only a few tiles can be replaced instead of the entire roof. In other cases, all the cracked or chipped tiles must be removed and another underlayment must be installed before the new tiles are laid down. Then, each tile is secured with nails and hangers to ensure that they are properly anchored to the roof. To prevent water from seeping in, flashing is installed around the edges of the roof and any chimneys or vents. Regardless of the complexity of the project, our experts at Slate Copper And Tile Roofing are up for the challenge.
