A tile roof starts with structure and water control. Clay and concrete tiles add weight above the deck, so we review framing, sheathing, roof pitch, and available structural information before final material selection. Required reinforcement becomes part of the approved scope.
The tile is the visible surface, while the underlayment and flashing form the main water-control layer below. Battens, valleys, edges, vents, walls, and penetrations must connect with that layer. The selected tile profile then determines layout and fastening details.
A tile project can uncover a mismatch between the selected tile weight and the existing structure. We resolve required reinforcement, batten layout, and underlayment details before field tile placement. That sequence protects the approved design and avoids treating heavy tile as a simple surface swap.
How We Install a Tile Roof
The structure and water-control assembly come before the visible tile.
-
Verify the Roof Structure
We document framing, deck condition, roof pitch, drainage, and the proposed tile weight. Structural needs are resolved before installation.
-
Build the Water-Control Assembly
The crew removes failed roofing, repairs the deck, and installs the specified underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and battens.
-
Set the Tile Through Inspection
We install field tiles, edges, valleys, penetrations, and ridge details. The project continues through required inspections and closeout.
Tile Roof Assembly Check
| Component | What We Review | Design Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Framing, deck, roof geometry, and proposed load | Sets reinforcement needs |
| Underlayment | Substrate, coverage, and compatibility | Sets the water-control layer |
| Flashing | Valleys, walls, vents, and edges | Protects transitions |
| Battens and fastening | Tile profile, layout, and attachment | Sets tile support |
| Clay or concrete tile | Weight, profile, finish, and layout | Sets the visible roof |
Verify the Structure Before Material Selection
Tile weight must follow the roof's support conditions. We review framing, sheathing, geometry, and available structural information before final selection. Approved reinforcement is completed before the tile assembly begins.
Build the Water-Control Layer Below the Tile
The underlayment and flashing manage water below the visible tile. Valleys, walls, penetrations, edges, and roof transitions need coordinated details. Tile layout comes after this layer is set.
Coordinate Tile Profile and Roof Geometry
Clay and concrete tiles come in different profiles and weights. Roof pitch, valleys, ridges, edges, and penetrations affect layout and fastening. We select and place tile within the approved structural and waterproof assembly.

Tile roof costs can include structural review, reinforcement, tear-off, deck repairs, underlayment, flashing, battens, permits, and installation.

Roof City did an excellent job on my roof. They were professional, fast, efficient, and clean. They over- delivered on their promise to do a five- star job in two days, which included all materials and permits needed. They deserve a 10 star rating 🌟 ✨ 💫🌟✨💫🌟✨💫☀️🙌🏾😀👍🏾

The team dis an excellent job on our roof. Carlos and his team are punctual, communicative and kept the worksite clean throughout the project. There was a slight delay in the beginning but the whole process felt smooth and stress free. Alex was generous enough to add in extra service worth $759. Highly recommended, honest roofing work.

They offered a reasonable price for my roof replacement, and overall I’m satisfied with the work. The main issue was that it took quite a while to finish because of the permit process. At one point, I was worried that the roofing materials left at the property might be stolen, so I texted them about it. They responded to my message right away, which I appreciated, and luckily nothing was stolen. Overall, the price was fair, they were responsive when I had concerns, and the project was completed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find the answer to your question? Call Now (650) 977-3351
What is the difference between clay and concrete roof tile?
The materials differ in weight, profile, finish, and available colors. We compare those factors with the roof structure, slope, layout, and project requirements before selection.
Can my existing roof support tile?
Framing, deck condition, roof geometry, existing loads, and available structural records must be reviewed. Required reinforcement is defined before tile installation.
What keeps water out below roof tile?
Underlayment and flashing form the main water-control layer. Tile protects that assembly and directs most water toward the roof edge, but every valley, wall, vent, and penetration still needs a compatible detail.
Can existing roof tiles be reused?
Reuse depends on tile condition, profile, availability, fastening, and compatibility with the approved assembly. We inspect and sort candidate tiles before including reuse in the scope.
How are valleys and roof penetrations handled?
Valleys, walls, vents, chimneys, skylights, and edges interrupt the tile field. Each needs flashing and layout details that connect with the underlayment below.
Why should foot traffic on tile roofing be limited?
Tile can crack under concentrated or poorly placed loads. Access should follow safe routes and the tile profile. Qualified roof workers can inspect or service details without unnecessary traffic.
