Clay and Concrete Tile Roof Repair and Replacement in Goshen, Utah

Clay and concrete tile can remain in service for many years because individual pieces resist normal weather exposure well, but leaks can still develop when the underlayment or flashing begins to fail.

A tile roof should be evaluated when visible tile damage appears or leaks continue below tile that still looks intact, because one broken piece and widespread underlayment failure require very different repairs.

The visible tile tolerates sunlight differently because clay and concrete have no mineral-granule surface to lose, so underlayment condition remains important on an older roof.

Snow matters on a tile roof in Goshen because meltwater can move into valleys, sidewalls and lower roof areas, so we pay close attention to the underlayment and flashing in those locations.

Storms can crack or shift individual tiles in Goshen, and we inspect the nearby underlayment and flashing when visible damage may have exposed the waterproof layer below.

A tile roof combines the clay or concrete pieces you see from outside with hidden layers that control water and keep the pieces in position.

• Clay tile: Clay tile is made from fired clay and offers a hard, durable outer roofing surface, but the pieces still need careful handling during roof work.
• Concrete tile: Concrete tile is a substantial roof covering that can mimic several traditional tile shapes, so the roof needs enough support for the chosen product.
• Underlayment: Underlayment keeps water away from the wood when moisture gets past the tile, and this layer often determines when lift-and-relay work becomes necessary.
• Battens and attachment: Some tile systems use battens beneath the pieces to support the tile layout, and the exact support method depends on the product and roof layout.
• Flashing and valleys: Flashing protects transitions where tile roofing meets walls, valleys and other details, and these areas deserve close inspection when a tile roof leaks near a transition.

Tile-roof work can range from resetting loose ridge or hip pieces to rebuilding flashing and waterproofing across a broader area, so we avoid replacing usable roofing material without a reason.

• Broken tile replacement: When damage is limited to a small group of tiles, we remove the broken pieces and install replacements, and the repaired area is inspected before the work is complete.
• Flashing repair and replacement: When flashing fails around chimneys and changes in roof direction, we restore the metal detail and tie it back into the underlayment, so the joint no longer depends on surface sealant alone.
• Valley repair: For a leaking or poorly draining valley, we rebuild damaged metal and underlayment in the roof intersection, so runoff is directed through the valley instead of into the roofing layers below.
• Ridge and hip tile repair: When ridge or hip pieces break along a ridge or hip, we repair the attachment and replace pieces that cannot be reused, and the finished ridge or hip can shed water as intended.
• Lift-and-relay underlayment replacement: We separate reusable pieces from broken tile as the roof is opened, then repair hidden damage and install new tile-compatible underlayment before reinstalling the original tile.
• Full tile roof replacement: Full replacement makes sense when too much of the existing system has failed, and worn materials are removed instead of being relied on in the new roof.

Which of these your roof needs comes out of the inspection. The tiles usually outlive everything else up there, so we would rather relay yours than sell you new ones.

Lift-and-relay underlayment replacement preserves reusable tile while renewing the underlayment below the surface, which lets us check the exposed valleys and flashing directly.

1. Lift and organize the tileWe remove suitable original tile with minimal handling, and each piece can be checked for cracks or chips as it comes off.
2. Remove the old underlaymentAfter the tile is removed, we take off underlayment that has reached the end of its useful life, so new roofing is not installed over concealed deterioration.
3. Repair damaged woodIf we find damaged decking exposed during removal, we show you the damaged section and explain what needs to be replaced before continuing with the roofing installation.
4. Install new tile-compatible underlaymentWe install replacement underlayment beneath the area that will receive tile and complete the surrounding flashing before the tile returns.
5. Relay the tileAfter the waterproofing is complete, we reinstall the original pieces that remain suitable, and check the finished section for alignment and drainage.
