Clay and Concrete Tile Roofing in Utah

A clay or concrete tile roof lasts so long because tile does not rot, does not lose granules and does not care much about UV. The catch is that the underlayment beneath it has a far shorter life, so a tile roof usually needs work long before the tile itself is finished.

A tile roof needs work when leaks appear under tile that still looks intact, which is the classic sign the underlayment has reached the end of its life. Cracked or slipped tiles after a storm, and sagging in the roof plane, are the others. Walking a tile roof to check causes damage, so leave that to someone who knows where to step.

• Leaks despite the tile looking fine
• Cracked or slipped individual tiles
• Any visible sag in the roof plane

Most of Courtland Roofing's clay and concrete tile work is underlayment replacement, where we lift and stack the tile, replace the failed underlayment beneath, and relay the tile. We also replace broken tiles, rebuild flashing at walls and chimneys, and repair the valleys where tile roofs usually start leaking.

• Lift-and-relay underlayment replacement
• Broken and slipped clay or concrete tile replacement
• Flashing and valley rebuilds
• Full clay or concrete tile roof replacement

A tile underlayment replacement starts by lifting the tile carefully and stacking it on the roof, because the tile itself is usually fine and the waterproof layer underneath it is not. Reusing your existing tile is what keeps this job well below the cost of a new tile roof, and you end up with the roof you already have on a fresh underlayment.

1. Lift and stack the tileHandled carefully, since sound tile is worth reusing.
2. Strip and inspectOld underlayment off, deck checked and repaired.
3. New underlaymentRated for tile, which is a heavier and longer-lived spec.
4. Relay and replaceOriginal tile goes back, broken pieces swapped out.
