Tile Roof Repair
Tile roofs are durable, but they are not designed to be walked on carelessly.
Call (717) 802 8110Tile Roof Repair for Mechanicsburg homes
Clay and concrete tiles can last a very long time, but individual pieces crack, slip, or break, and the underlayment beneath them eventually wears.
Tile roof repair replaces damaged tiles, resets slipped ones, and addresses flashing and underlayment where water has found a way through.

The process
How tile roof repair works, step by step
- 1
Identify the tile
Tile type, profile, and age affect how repairs are approached.
- 2
Access with care
Weight has to be placed carefully to avoid cracking good tiles.
- 3
Lift and repair
Damaged tiles are removed and underlying issues corrected.
- 4
Reset the field
Tiles go back in course and are secured.
Finding matching tiles
Older tile profiles and colors can be hard to source. Sometimes salvaged tiles, or pieces moved from a less visible area, are used on prominent spots.
Because tiles often outlive the underlayment, a leak on a tile roof is frequently an underlayment problem rather than a tile problem.
Common questions
Can I walk on my tile roof?
It is best avoided. Tiles can crack underfoot if weight is not placed correctly.
Is tile repair different from shingle repair?
Yes. Tiles are individually set and need different handling and materials than shingles.
