What’s Involved in Installing Tile Roofing?
Tile roof installation takes greater expertise, time, and attention to detail compared to standard asphalt shingles. Our roofers are specifically trained in the intricacies of tile installation. Here’s an overview of the process:
- Pitch Calculations – Precise measurements ensure proper slope and tile overlap for water runoff.
- Tear Off – We completely remove all existing roof materials prior to tile installation.
- Deck Inspection – Any damaged decking is replaced to create a smooth surface.
- Underlayment – We install a waterproof barrier over the entire roof deck.
- Flashings – Metal flashings are installed around protrusions before tile placement.
- Tile Layout – Tiles must be laid in an overlapping pattern and aligned precisely.
- Tile Cutting – Tiles are hand cut and shaped as needed with specialty tools.
- Accessories – Custom trim, gutters, and vents are incorporated seamlessly.
- Sealants – Sealants and mortar secure tiles and prevent leaks.
Only proper techniques result in a visually stunning, weather-tight tile roof.
What About Low Slope or Flat Roofs?
Typically, tile roofing requires a steeper pitched roof for effective water runoff. But through meticulous planning and construction, our technicians can install tile beautifully and functionally on lower sloped or even flat roof structures. This may involve:
- Structure Modifications – Adding slight pitch with roof build out framing.
- Additional Layers – Extra layers of waterproofing materials.
- Overlaps and Sealants – Careful tile overlaps and generous use of sealants.
- Drainage Design – Integrating effective drainage flow into the roof.
While challenging, a low-slope tile roof can be architecturally striking and practical when installed right.
How Long Does Tile Roof Installation Take?
Another consideration is that tile roofing is a more labor-intensive process requiring several days to weeks of work. The installation steps cannot be rushed or mishandled. At Roof King USA, we allocate the proper time and care to executing each phase flawlessly. You can expect the following general project timeline:
- Planning and Permits – 1-2 weeks
- Tear Off and Deck Prep – 2-3 days
- Underlayment and Flashings – 1-2 days
- Tile Installation – 4-5 days
- Finishing Details – 1-2 days
- Clean up and Inspection – 1 day
The right techniques coupled with time and care result in tile roofing that will endure beautifully on your home for decades.
