- Over the years one
thing is clear, every tile roof has it's own......well, let's just
call it "personality".
While all tile roofs are similar,
they are all in one way or another different, and that variety is
one of the things makes our job so challenging and enjoyable.
- Our
most enjoyable part of this business is solving our customer's
problems. Afterwards we will part as friends and say hello with a
smile when we see you again.
- When it comes down
to the tile roof repair, one of the most
difficult parts of examining a tile roof is determining which part
of the roof needs repairs, or occasionally, if it needs to be entirely replaced.
- In
most cases a roof replacment not required.
- In fact, we rarely
see a tile roof that needs to be replaced!
- Our combined
experience of over 70 years specializing in tile roofs gives us the
professional expertise to give you an honest opinion by doing a
thorough roof inspection.
- While
weather-related damage poses the most impacting threat of damage to
roofs, other factors, over time, will cause the roof to naturally
wear.
- Whatever the case
there are many many factors to consider.
- You should choose
only certified and licensed roofing contractors in order to protect
yourself and your home.
- We will be glad to
appraise your roof and select appropriate materials and supplies to
do the proper repairs.
- Contrary to popular
belief, the tiles on your roof are not what actually protects your
home from moisture intrusion during rains and wind.
- Under the tiles is
your real protection and this is usually called the "under-layment"
or "base sheet". This is what is laid out to cover the
actual wood decking of your roof and then the tiles are installed
over top of this. Along with flashings (metal used around difficult
areas like valleys and vent pipes) the base sheet(s) is your real
protection. Also called the sub roof.
- The sub roof can
be anything from felt (sometimes called tar-paper - it comes in
various weights or thickness) to granular roll roofing which looks
like regular shingles but comes in a large roll....or peel and stick
sub roof.
- Tiles may be
attached to the under-layment and roof deck by various methods:
nailed on, screwed on, foam adhesive, mudded (using mortar mix), or
nailed or screwed to battens (strips of wood that go over top of the
under-layment.
- In Florida tile roof
repair is especially important as tile roofs are subject to many
problems.
Because of heavy rains and wind, hurricanes and tropical storms, it
takes regular inspections and maintenance to keep your home free of
moisture damage.
- Moisture intrusion
can cause serious problems, such as: mold, rotted wood, and termite
or ant infestations which can lead to hugely expensive repairs.
- It is a good
idea to have your roof checked regularly to make sure it is in good
condition.
The Good News
- The good news is
that a tile roof is the best choice in Florida because most damage
to roofs is caused by the rays of the sun.
- Since the tiles on
tile roofs are designed to cover the base sheet - or sub roof,
the sun is not able to penetrate, and cause damage to the under-layment.
The sun is what destroys a roof so a tile roof the shaded sub
roof has a much longer lifetime.
- That is why tile
roofs can last 2-5 decades. You'll
really never get a guarantee like that with a new roof but we have a
customer in Winter Park with the original roof from 1930's.
- Problems occur regardless of the age
of the roof. Young roof or old, "stuff happens" and you see a
leak.
- If you live in
Lake Nona, Sanford, Longwood, Lake Mary or anywhere in Central Florida and you need your tile roof repaired and want
an honest opinion, call us or email!
- Note:
If you have a leak or any stains on the ceilings of your home or
anywhere along the eaves or soffit (the exposed underside of the
edge of your roof) or fascia (the
horizontal board that's nailed across the face of the eave to
conceal the rafter tails (rain gutters, if used, are typically
attached to the fascia) outside of your home......
You should take action immediately to prevent further damage.
- Broken tiles, roof vents
(stacks), valleys, eaves (overhang) and the chimney are common areas
where we find problems with Tile Roofs.
