TILE ROOF REPAIR & REPLACEMENT
Phoenix, Arizona

In Phoenix, Arizona, residential tile roof repair and replacement are critical services due to the region’s harsh climate. Tile roofs are popular in Phoenix for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and ability to withstand the intense heat and sun exposure typical of the area. However, over time, even the sturdiest tile roofs can suffer damage from factors such as monsoon storms, UV radiation, and natural wear and tear.

Tile roof repair involves fixing specific damaged areas, addressing issues like cracked or broken tiles, leaks, and underlayment deterioration. This helps extend the roof’s lifespan and maintain its protective function. Tile roof replacement, on the other hand, is necessary when the damage is extensive or the roof has reached the end of its service life. It involves removing the old tiles and underlayment and installing new materials to ensure the roof remains functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Professional roofing contractors in Phoenix are well-versed in the unique challenges posed by the local climate and can provide expert services to ensure residential tile roofs remain in excellent condition, offering homeowners peace of mind and long-lasting protection.

Why is Tile Roofing So Popular?

Tile roofing gained popularity and became the roofing material of choice for many home builders and homeowners throughout Phoenix during the late 1980’s and continues to be the preferred roofing material today. Cement and clay tile offer several advantages over asphalt shingles. One of the most obvious is the look of tile roofs. With pitched roofs, a considerable portion of a home’s exterior is impacted by the texture and color of the roof. Tile roofs offer an added dimension to the look and feel of a home’s elevation.

If you own a home with a tile roof or are considering tile as a roofing material option, you may have assumptions such as tile is a lifetime roof or perhaps a 50-year roof? Those assumptions are now being put to the test as many of the tile roofs in the valley reach the 20- and 30-year age mark. We are now seeing leaks and other issues with tile roofs that require repairs, renovations or replacement.

Why You Should Consider Tile Roofing

Tile roofs offer a variety of advantages over asphalt and wood roofs. From the aesthetically pleasing appearance to the fire safety aspect of tile there are many reasons to choose tile when deciding on a roof such as the following:

  • Long lasting & durable
  • Fire resistant
  • Economical & Eco-Friendly
  • Low maintenance
  • Resistant to high winds

Additional Roof System Components

Along with the tile roofing there are many other aspects of your roofing system that need to be considered when replacing or repairing your roof. These additional components include:

Battens

Roof battens are the fixed points where the tiles are connected to the roof. The battens are used for spacing out the tiles when placed on the roof. Battens are most often made of wood but in some cases metal battens are used.

Underlayment’s

There are two types of underlayment that can be used with tile roofing systems, felt and synthetic. The underlayment is installed underneath the shingles and provides a protective layer between your roof and the tile. Underlayment helps prevent water and debris from getting into your home.

Flashing

Roof flashing is a thin metal strip that protects openings and cracks in the roof from water damage. Flashing is most often made of steel, copper or aluminum. The flashing is placed in areas around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and vents.

Eave Closures

Eave closures are made from aluminum and are placed at the edges of your tile roof. This material is used to keep birds and other pests from getting underneath the tile and nesting which can cause potential damage to your roof.

Anti-Ponding Taper Strip

Anti-ponding taper strips prevent water from accumulating on your roof and potentially causing water damage. These strips are required with raised fascias.

J Tile Pan

Tile pan is flashing used where the tile roof connects with a sidewall. J tile pan flashing is made from aluminum and prevents water and debris from entering the cracks where the roof intersects with a wall.

Ventilation Components

Along with the above-mentioned components of a roofing system, Overson Roofing is experienced in installing ventilation to your roof to keep allow airflow into the home. Proper ventilation is important in keeping your roof from collecting mildew and also helps regulate your home’s temperature keeping your energy costs down. The ventilation Overson Roofing installs includes but not limited to:

Tile Ridge Vent

Tile ridge vents are placed at the hottest point of the roof, the ridgeline. Ridge vents prevent your attic from becoming too hot potentially causing damage to your roof. Tile ridge vents are cost effective in the sense they help regulate your homes temperature keeping energy costs low.

O’Hagin Vents

O’Hagin vents are the best solution for ventilating tile roofing systems. The O’Hagin vent protects your attic’s insulation by providing maximum airflow into your home while keeping with the aesthetics of your tile roof.

Choosing a Qualified Tile Roofer

When choosing a reputable roofing company, you want to make sure they are qualified to do the job. Ask the contractor about their state licensing. Roofing companies also need individual licenses for residential and commercial properties. Overson Roofing is licensed by the State of Arizona Registrar of Contractors (Overson Roofing License Numbers ROC 274692, 207860, and 247074). Overson Roofing is fully licensed, bonded and insured. Also, search for quality reviews and Better Business Bureau ratings. Overson Roofing continuously receives A+ ratings from the BBB and won their Torch Award for Ethics in 2016, one of only 2 roofers to ever win that honor.

Filing an Insurance Claim

If your roof has been damaged by a storm or some form of an accident you may need to contact your insurance company. Before you make any decisions on fixing your roof contact your insurance provider to find out what your options are. Once you understand your options hire a licensed and qualified roofing contractor to make the assessment process easier. The contractor will assess and document the damage on your roof by noting the date of the storm or accident, taking photos, and writing down areas that were damaged. It is your responsibility to disclose any damage to property inside of your home. Ask the roofing contractor for an estimate on the repair or replacement costs.

After your contractor gives you the assessment documentation contact your insurance company to file your claim.

Getting Multiple Estimates

You often don’t need to get multiple estimates. Most all policies are replacement cost policies, which means your insurance company will pay you the cost to replace your roof even if you are only get one estimate. They might encourage you to get three estimates, but it is not necessary. And especially in monsoon season, when all roofing companies are inundated with requests, you might get the process going faster if you do your due diligence to choose one company to work with. Be sure that you call licensed and bonded professionals that can produce local references that are at least one year old.
