• Tile‑safe handling: Proper lifting tools and walk‑paths prevent cracking adjacent tiles.
• Underlayment systems: Many leaks are from aged felt or synthetic underlayment, not the tile itself.
• Flashing & penetrations: Valleys, chimneys, and skylights need tile‑specific flashing details.
• Weight & fastening: Concrete vs. clay require different fastening and head‑lap practices.

Unlike shingle repairs, tile service is part structural, part waterproofing, part aesthetics. Our crews are trained to remove, stage, and reinstall tiles, address the waterproofing layer, and leave the finished area seamless with your existing roof.

We repair clay “S‑tile,” Spanish profiles, flat concrete tile, and mixed repairs on older homes and new builds.

• Thermal expansion cracking: Central Texas heat cycles stress older fasteners and mortar ridges.
• UV‑aged underlayment: Exposure at gaps or lifted tiles dries out the waterproofing layer.
• Wind‑shifted tiles: Spring storms can lift tiles along rakes, ridges, and valleys.

• Hail impact fractures: Hairline cracks in clay often break later under foot pressure.
• Tree debris & abrasion: Oak/cedar debris in valleys obstructs flow and wears underlayment.
• Improper past repairs: Mismatched tiles, over‑nailing, or mortar patches create recurring leaks.

Leak Diagnostics & Testing

Moisture tracking, attic checks, and targeted water testing to pinpoint the true source—not just the symptom.

Cracked or Slipped Tile Replacement

Tile‑safe removal and reset with color‑matched replacements whenever available.

Underlayment Repairs

Cut‑in repairs or section replacement using modern synthetic underlayments designed for Texas heat.

Valley & Flashing Corrections

Re‑work of valleys, sidewall/headwall flashings, chimneys, and skylights to current best practices.

Hail/Wind Damage Remediation

Impact checks, broken tile swap‑outs, and anchor/clip adjustments after high‑wind events.

Preventive Maintenance

Debris clearing, mortar/cap checks, and periodic inspections to extend roof life and prevent leaks.

Why Many Roofing Companies Avoid Tile Roofs

• Fragile tiles under foot traffic — improper stepping cracks surrounding tiles.
• Repairs involve removal & reinstalls — not simple surface patches.
• Discontinued profiles — sourcing and blending replacements takes experience.

• Underlayment systems are layered — headlap and sequencing must be rebuilt correctly.
• Flashing details are tile‑specific — valleys, sidewalls, and headwalls require different methods.
• Repair quality is visible — uneven courses or mismatched color stand out immediately.

Our technicians are trained specifically for clay and concrete tile systems to avoid these issues.

1. Tile Lift & Inspection

Safe tile removal exposes battens, fasteners, and hidden failure points.

2. Underlayment Assessment

We check for UV damage, dry rot, nail pops, and improper laps/seams.

3. Moisture Mapping

Attic checks and moisture meters reveal true water travel paths.

4. Flashing & Valley Review

We verify metal gauge/condition and overlap details at all transitions.

5. Profile & Match Verification

Clay, concrete, Spanish barrel, and flat tiles each require specific methods.

6. Photo Documentation

We provide images of findings with clear repair or replacement options.

Repair Makes Sense When…

• Leaks are isolated to a valley, penetration, or small slope section
• Underlayment is aged in spots but overall roof is structurally sound
• Storm damage broke a limited number of tiles
• You plan to keep the home < 5–7 years

Consider Replacement When…

• Widespread underlayment failure or multiple past patch repairs
• Frequent leaks across slopes or complex roof geometry
• Significant storm damage with limited tile availability
• You want a longer warranty and lower long‑term maintenance

Can you repair tiles without breaking more?

Yes. We stage walk‑paths, use tile lifters, and remove/replace carefully to avoid collateral damage.

Is the leak usually the tile or the layer underneath?

Most leaks trace back to aged underlayment or flashing. We fix the waterproofing layer, then reset tiles.

Do you work with both clay and concrete?

We service both. Fastening, weight, and thermal expansion differ—our methods are tailored to each system.

Can you match discontinued tiles?

Often. If exact matches aren’t available, we source close alternatives and blend them in less visible areas.

Do you offer emergency tile leak service?

Yes. For active leaks, we provide temporary dry‑in and schedule permanent repairs promptly.

How soon should I address a minor tile leak?

Immediately—small leaks often travel and damage decking or interiors. Early diagnostics reduce cost.
