Understanding Our Tile Roof Repair Service
Tile roofs are a premium roofing choice for their durability, weather resistance, and classic appearance. However, they are not immune to damage, especially from severe weather, falling debris, and natural wear over time. Unlike other roofing systems, tile roofs require specialized care — incorrect handling can cause more harm than good.
Our service is built around precision and preservation. We work to restore your roof without unnecessary replacement, ensuring repairs blend seamlessly with your existing tiles. Whether your roof is made of traditional clay, modern concrete, or natural slate, our methods are adapted to suit the material’s specific needs.
Common Tile Roof Problems We Address
Our Tile Roof Repair Process
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a conversation about the issues you’ve observed, your roof’s history, and any prior repair work. This helps us focus our inspection and understand potential problem sources.
2. Detailed Roof Inspection
Our inspection covers every section of your tile roof — from field tiles to ridge caps, valleys, and flashing points. We also evaluate the underlayment wherever tiles are damaged or missing.
3. Documentation of Findings
We take detailed notes and photographs of problem areas. This record helps explain our repair recommendations and provides a reference for future maintenance.
4. Tile Removal (If Needed)
When underlayment or flashing requires work, we carefully remove affected tiles, ensuring reusable tiles are set aside without damage.
5. Underlayment & Decking Repairs
We replace deteriorated underlayment, repair decking if necessary, and secure all layers for proper waterproofing before reinstalling tiles.
6. Tile Replacement & Reinstallation
Damaged tiles are replaced with ones that match your existing roof as closely as possible in both style and color. Tiles are properly fastened to prevent future shifting.
7. Flashing Repairs
We address worn or damaged flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys, ensuring tight seals where water is most likely to enter.
8. Ridge & Hip Repairs
Loose or broken ridge and hip tiles are reset or replaced, restoring a critical barrier against wind-driven rain.
9. Final Inspection
After repairs, we conduct a full review to ensure all work is secure, watertight, and visually consistent with the rest of your roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my tile roof needs repair?
Signs of trouble can be obvious, such as cracked, broken, or missing tiles, or more subtle, like water stains on ceilings, musty odors in the attic, or loose ridge caps. Kansas City weather, especially hail and high winds, can damage tiles even without visible cracks from the ground. A professional inspection is the only way to fully understand the condition of your roof, since damage to the underlayment is often hidden beneath the tile surface.
What types of tile do you repair?
We work with a wide range of tile roofing materials, including:
- Clay tile – Known for its classic appearance and long lifespan.
- Concrete tile – Durable and cost-effective, often designed to mimic clay or slate.
- Slate tile – Natural stone with a distinctive look and exceptional longevity.
Each tile type requires different handling and repair techniques. We tailor our approach to match the specific material, ensuring a safe, effective, and visually consistent repair.
Will repaired tiles match the rest of my roof?
Our goal is to make repairs blend as seamlessly as possible. We source replacement tiles that match the size, shape, and color of your existing ones. While exact matches can be more challenging on older roofs due to weathering and discontinued tile lines, we take care to find the closest match available and install them in locations that maintain your roof’s overall appearance.
What causes tiles to crack or break?
Tile damage can occur from:
- Storm impacts such as hail, falling branches, and windblown debris
- Freeze-thaw cycles in winter
- Foot traffic from maintenance or installations
- Improper installation or fastening methods
- Aging and material fatigue over decades
In Kansas City, rapid weather changes and high winds can accelerate wear and increase the likelihood of breakage.
Is the underlayment as important as the tiles themselves?
Yes. In fact, the underlayment is your roof’s true waterproof barrier. Tiles protect the underlayment from direct sunlight, impacts, and most moisture, but once the underlayment is compromised, water can reach the decking and interior spaces. Many tile roof leaks are caused by underlayment deterioration, even when the tiles above look intact. That is why we inspect beneath damaged or shifted tiles during repairs.
Can a few broken tiles really cause a leak?
Absolutely. Even a small opening can allow water to travel beneath the surrounding tiles, especially during wind-driven rain. Water can then run down the underlayment and enter the structure at a different point, making the leak’s origin hard to locate without a thorough inspection.
How long does a tile roof repair take?
The timeline depends on the scope of the damage:
- Minor repairs, such as replacing a few tiles or re-securing loose ones, can often be completed in a day.
- Moderate repairs, involving underlayment or flashing replacement, may take two to three days.
- Extensive repairs, affecting large sections or multiple problem areas, require more time for careful removal and reinstallation.
Weather conditions also influence scheduling, as tile repair work is best performed on dry days.
How often should I have my tile roof inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection every two to three years, or after major storms. Regular inspections can catch small problems before they lead to costly water damage, particularly with underlayment and flashing, which are components you cannot see from the ground.
What is the lifespan of a repaired tile roof?
High-quality tile roofs can last 50 years or more, with repairs extending their life considerably. Clay and slate often last longer than concrete, but in all cases, the roof’s longevity depends on proper installation, timely repairs, and underlayment maintenance.
Do you serve homes outside Kansas City?
Yes. In addition to Kansas City itself, we handle tile roof repairs in surrounding communities such as Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Leawood, Prairie Village, Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, and Liberty, along with other parts of the metro area.
