Our team proudly serves homeowners and businesses in Buffalo, NY and the surrounding communities with full-service tile roof installation, repair, and replacement.
Tile roofing has been used for centuries across the globe, and modern manufacturing techniques have only improved its resilience. Today, tile roofs can last 50 to 100 years when properly installed and maintained, far exceeding the lifespan of traditional asphalt shingles. This remarkable durability makes tile an investment that pays dividends over decades, reducing the frequency and cost of roof replacements throughout the life of a property.
Types of Tile Roofing Materials
The tile roofing category encompasses several distinct materials, each with unique characteristics suited to different architectural styles and performance requirements. Clay tiles are among the most traditional options, offering a timeless Mediterranean or Spanish aesthetic. They are naturally fire-resistant, impervious to rot, and maintain their rich color for decades without fading. Concrete tiles provide similar durability at a different price point and come in a broader range of profiles, including flat, low-profile, and high-profile designs that can replicate the look of wood shakes, slate, or traditional barrel tiles.
Synthetic tile products have also gained significant market traction in recent years. Manufactured from engineered polymers or composite materials, synthetic tiles replicate the appearance of natural clay or slate while offering reduced weight. This weight advantage is particularly important for retrofit projects where the existing roof structure may not support the load of traditional clay or concrete tiles without reinforcement. At Roofing Company, we specialize in turnkey exterior construction solutions for residential, commercial, and multifamily applications, and we help each client select the tile type best suited to their building’s structural capacity and design goals.
Our Tile Roofing Installation Process
Proper installation is the single most critical factor in determining how a tile roof performs over its lifespan. Our process begins with a comprehensive structural assessment. Because tile roofing materials can weigh between 600 and 1,100 pounds per square (100 square feet), we verify that the roof deck and framing can handle the load. If reinforcement is needed, our team addresses that before any tile is placed. From start to finish, we are full-service, turn-key exterior specialists, which means every phase of work is coordinated under one roof.
After structural verification, we install a high-quality underlayment system designed to provide a secondary moisture barrier beneath the tiles. Battens are then fastened to the deck in a precise grid pattern that ensures proper alignment and allows for adequate ventilation. Each tile is mechanically fastened according to manufacturer specifications and local building code requirements. Our in-house management of materials, equipment, and crews, along with experienced Superintendents and Project Managers, ensures a high-quality final product and experience while maintaining a commitment to schedule, quality, and safety.
Benefits of Choosing Tile for Your Roof
Tile roofing delivers a combination of advantages that make it an outstanding choice for property owners who value long-term performance and curb appeal. The thermal mass of tile naturally regulates heat transfer, helping reduce cooling costs during warm months. Industry studies indicate that tile roofing can lower energy consumption by up to 20 percent compared to standard asphalt shingle systems, making it both an environmentally and financially sound decision.
- Exceptional longevity with lifespans reaching 50 to 100 years under proper maintenance
- Superior fire resistance as clay and concrete tiles carry Class A fire ratings
- Wind resistance with many tile systems rated for winds exceeding 150 miles per hour
- Low maintenance requirements since tile does not rot, warp, or suffer insect damage
- Enhanced property value due to the premium appearance and proven durability of tile
- Color stability because clay tiles retain their pigment without the fading common in other materials
