Traditionally made of clay, or, more recently, concrete, tiles are one of the oldest and most common roofing solutions. A tile roof has a very long life span, very good thermal qualities and is also a good sound insulator: you will not hear raindrops falling on its surface. On the other hand, such a roof must be checked periodically to make sure that the tiles are well fixed and intact.

A tile roof needs periodic maintenance and, sometimes, rehabilitation works in case of infiltrations. Do not let too much time pass, thus avoiding damage to the interior and exterior walls of the house, to installations and equipment or even to the roof structure. Keep in mind that a repair at an early stage will have a lower cost.

Water infiltrations, in the case of the tile roof, most often occur around the chimney and skylight, or due to improper flashing. It is also possible that a routine roof inspection by one of the Highlands Ranch roofing companies reveals that there are broken or displaced tiles. You will do the repairs depending on each case, either you will replace the broken tiles and cement the ridge, or you will seal the affected part with a roofing adhesive.

Sometimes, however, in the case of very old or damaged roofs, repairs will no longer be effective; In this case, it’s time to replace your tile roof.
