San Diego Tile Roof Repair & Replacement Experts: TWM Roofing

Extend the life of your tile roof with expert repair and replacement services from TWM Roofing. Whether you're a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, our team delivers long-lasting solutions that protect your property and maintain its curb appeal.

Tile roofs are a favorite across Southern California thanks to their durability, fire resistance, and timeless style. But while clay, concrete, and slate tiles can last up to 50 years or more, the underlayment and flashing beneath them typically require attention every 20–30 years.

Most tile roof issues aren’t about the tiles themselves—they’re caused by aging underlayment, waterproof membranes, flashing failures, or impact damage. That’s where we come in.

What You Need to Know About Tile Roof Repair

1. Tile Roofs Are Durable—But Not Invincible

  • Tile roofs (clay, concrete, or slate) can last 50+ years.
  • However, underlayment (the waterproof barrier beneath the tiles) often wears out sooner—typically around 20–30 years—requiring repair or replacement.
  • Tiles may also crack due to impact, shifting, earthquakes and normal seismic shifts, or weather.

2. Most Leaks Aren’t from the Tiles Themselves

  • In many cases, the tiles are fine, but the flashing or underlayment has failed.
  • Common leak points: chimneys, valleys, skylights, and around roof penetrations.

3. Walking on Tile Roofs Can Cause More Damage

  • Tile is fragile and can crack under pressure. Always hire professionals with experience on tile roofs.
  • Many problems are caused by untrained contractors walking on the tiles.
  • Tenting roofs for termites can be especially damaging to tile roofs. We recommend buying tile roof insurance from your pest control vendor if you must tent your tile roof.

4. Timely Repairs Prevent Expensive Structural Damage

  • A small leak under a tile can lead to wood rot, mold, insulation damage, and interior ceiling stains.
  • The sooner it's addressed, the less you’ll spend and the longer your roof lasts.

5. Matching Tiles Is Important

  • Replacing cracked tiles with matching ones maintains both functionality and curb appeal.
  • We do our best to source matching or similar tiles from local suppliers or salvaged inventory.

6. For Commercial & Industrial Properties:

  • Tile roofs are common on multi-unit buildings, churches, schools, and office complexes.
  • Preventative maintenance is critical to avoid business interruptions and maintain tenant satisfaction.
  • We offer scheduled inspections and reports to help building managers plan ahead.

7. Beware of Quick Fixes

  • Some companies “patch” leaks with surface sealant. That may last a few months, but it’s not a long-term solution.
  • A proper repair involves lifting tiles, inspecting the underlayment, and replacing materials as needed.

8. Licensed, Insured, and Trained Technicians Matter

  • Tile roof systems are specialized. It’s not a DIY job.
  • Choose a company like TWM Roofing that’s licensed, carries proper insurance, and has specific experience with tile systems.
