Tile Roof Repair & Replacement in Cape Coral, FL
Tile roofs are common across Cape Coral, from older homes to newer construction. Tiles themselves last a long time, but the underlayment beneath them does much of the waterproofing and wears out first.
Request a rooferCracked and broken tiles
Tiles crack from foot traffic, falling branches and flying debris. Broken tiles should be replaced to protect the underlayment.
Slipped tiles
Tiles that have slid or lifted after a storm leave gaps. They need resetting and fastening.
Underlayment
When the underlayment ages out, leaks start even if the tiles look fine. Re-roofing can involve lifting tiles, replacing underlayment and reinstalling them where they're reusable.
Walking on tile
Tile roofs break easily underfoot. Keep satellite installers, painters and pressure washers off unless they know how to walk tile.
Mortar and adhesives
Ridge and hip tiles are set in mortar or foam adhesive. Cracked mortar lets water in at the ridges.
Matching tiles
Older tile colors and profiles can be hard to match. Some homeowners keep spare tiles for future repairs.
Cleaning
Pressure washing removes mold and algae but can damage tiles and force water under them. Soft washing is gentler.
Weight
Tile is heavy. Switching from shingle to tile may require an engineering review of the roof framing.
