Tile Roof Repair
Tile roofs have a beautiful look that everyone finds appealing. They are very popular in the Southwest and many homes in San Diego have this look that give them a certain unique appeal.
If you are considering installing clay tile roofing yourself, be forewarned they are very heavy. If you do end up doing the work, make sure you have someone else to help you in case you get stuck or trapped by the tiles.
Most people elect to have a licensed contractor install the tile roof as it can be quite an endeavor if you’ve never done that before. If you decided to use a contractor make sure to get at least 3 estimates and evaluate the references. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has positive or negative feedback from previous customers.
Tile roofs look cylindrical – almost like a pipe was cut down the middle and then split apart. When installing this roofing material you overlap the tiles – that’s how you get that smooth rounded look that you’ve probably seen many times before. Tile roofs are more expensive than tar shingle roofs, but there is a definitely quality to the material and the look is something many people strongly desire.
Clay tile roofs are earth toned in color and really are the most popular of all the tile roofs. If you decide to go for a tile roof – do it right and you will be happy as they can last at least 20 years.

Its pretty common to require repairs every 5 years or so. Its very important to ensure no trees touch the roof and nothing falls on it. However, you shouldn't need to replace the roof very often. Many tile roofs are certified for 30 years but can go 50. Some are certified for 100 years. Just have a roofer come out every 5 years or so and look at it. If there are no repairs they usually won't even charge you.

It depends on the condition of you existing roof. Tile, in general, adds more value to the home. Having said that, I have seen some existing conditions that are bogus and need to go. For example: if your tiles are fastened to the roof with mortar only, and no mechanical fasteners, the mortar begins to seperate at some point, and during a storm you might produce deadly projectiles of tile from your roof. There may be underlying conditions of poor flashing and/or rotted wood that are not visible to you, but can cause big problems.
I know an awful lot of people that are scrapping the aging tile roof in favor of shingles for matters of soundness, safety and cost. But I can't see your roof from here, my friend, so you will have to make the call!
