A successful tile roof starts with more than choosing the right color and profile. Because clay and concrete tiles can place different demands on a roofing structure than lighter materials, the existing roof and supporting components should be evaluated before installation begins.
KPost helps homeowners plan the complete tile roofing system, from selecting the appropriate tile to addressing the roofing components beneath and around it. Proper installation, flashing, underlayment, drainage, and attention to roof transitions all contribute to the performance of the finished roof.
If you’re replacing another roofing material with clay or concrete tile, our team can evaluate the existing roof and explain what should be considered before installation begins.
Roofing Tile Durability & Cost
Clay & concrete tiles are “water-shedding systems” unlike asphalt shingles some of the rain water is expected to find its way under the tiles. This happens during storms with wind driven rain.
Generally clay tile is hail resistant for small to medium size hail. Special care must be taken when walking on clay tile as they will break.
Clay tiles are typically more costly than your typical laminated asphalt shingle, however, they will outlast an asphalt shingle roof with the extra strength and durability.

A framing evaluation answers it, and on most homes built for asphalt shingles the answer is no without reinforcement. Concrete tile runs roughly 900 to 1,200 pounds per hundred square feet and clay is in a similar range, against about 250 for architectural shingles. That is three to four times the load on rafters, ridge, and bearing walls. Homes originally designed for tile usually handle a replacement in kind without changes, while a conversion from shingles normally needs a structural engineer to review the framing first.
Usually 20 to 30 years, which is far less than the tile above it, and its failure is what forces the work rather than the tile wearing out. When the underlayment goes, the roof leaks even though every tile looks perfect. The repair involves lifting and stacking the tile, replacing the underlayment, and relaying the same tile, so budget for one underlayment cycle during the life of a tile roof. Specifying a heavier underlayment at installation is what pushes that date out.
Only with technique, and it is the main reason tile roofs get damaged between storms. Weight belongs on the lower third of the tile where it is supported by the course beneath, never on the unsupported center or on a hip or ridge cap. Concrete tolerates traffic better than clay, and older clay becomes brittle with age. Anyone servicing a satellite dish, chimney, or rooftop equipment should be told this before they go up, because most cracked tile comes from other trades rather than from weather.
Often yes, and the odds improve a great deal if extra tile was left on site at installation. Profiles and colors change over the years and some are discontinued, so an exact match on a twenty year old roof is not guaranteed. Where the run is unavailable, tile is commonly pulled from a less visible slope to patch the visible one and the substitute goes on the back. Keeping a pallet of attic stock is cheap at installation and expensive to recreate later.
Usually not, because the tile is not what makes the roof watertight. Tile sheds the bulk of the rain and shields what is underneath, while the underlayment is the actual waterproofing layer. A cracked or slipped tile therefore exposes that layer to sun and weather it was never meant to take, and it ages quickly at that spot. So it is not an emergency and it is also not something to leave for a year, because the damage accumulates out of sight. Our roof inspection services check the underlayment condition rather than only counting broken tiles.
