The Advantages of Tile Roofing
When it comes to roofing, the benefits of tile are hard to ignore. Here’s why tile roofing stands out:
- Low Maintenance: A tile roof requires minimal upkeep. A simple power wash is often all you need to keep it looking new.
- Weather-Resistant: Tile’s heavyweight and sturdy construction make it highly resistant to extreme weather conditions like high winds, hail, and fire.
- Longevity: Depending on the material, a tile roof can last two to three times longer than roofs made of less durable materials like cedar or asphalt.

Walking on a tile roof is not recommended unless absolutely necessary, and even then, extreme caution should be exercised. Tiles can crack or break under pressure, leading to potential leaks and additional expenses for repairs. If you must walk on the roof, it’s best to consult with our professionals who are experienced in navigating tile roofs without causing damage.
The best way to maintain your tile roof is through regular inspections and prompt repairs. Tiles may need to be replaced if they are cracked, broken, or missing. Keep the roof clear of debris and ensure that the gutters and downspouts are functioning properly.
