1. Initial Inspection
We begin by conducting a comprehensive visual and physical inspection of your tile roof. This includes checking for cracked, broken, or displaced tiles, as well as assessing the underlying structure for any water damage or rot.
Using moisture meters and infrared technology, we detect hidden leaks or weaknesses. After our assessment, we present a clear report outlining the issues, repair options, and estimated costs. This consultation also includes answering your questions to ensure transparency.
2. Customized Repair
Each tile roof is unique, so we develop repair plans specific to your roof’s condition and your budget. We prioritize using matching tiles and materials to blend repairs seamlessly with the existing roof.
Our methods range from simple tile replacement and re-caulking to more involved structural fixes. We consider the roof’s pitch, tile type, and local climate factors when selecting repair techniques to enhance longevity.
3. Project Completion and Clean-Up
During repairs, we handle tiles carefully to avoid further damage. Our team works efficiently, ensuring all fixings are secure and waterproof seals are properly applied.
We recheck the repaired areas for stability and alignment.
After completion, we remove debris, old tiles, and any equipment from your property. Final inspection guarantees no loose tiles or leftover materials, leaving your roof clean and restored to optimal condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
We focus on clear signs of damage and wear that require attention to maintain the integrity of tile roofing. Identifying these issues early helps prevent further damage and costly repairs.
How do I know if my tile roof needs repair?
Common signs your tile roof needs repair include visible cracked or broken tiles, water stains on interior ceilings or walls, loose or missing tiles, and damaged flashing around chimneys or vents. You may also notice granules in gutters, sagging areas, or daylight visible through the roof from your attic. Regular visual inspections from the ground can help identify these issues early before they lead to costly water damage.
What are signs of tile roof damage after Santa Ana winds?
After Santa Ana winds, look for displaced or missing tiles, cracked tiles from debris impact, and damaged underlayment where tiles have shifted. Check for loose tiles that may be hanging or have moved out of position, damaged ridge caps, and any debris that may have punctured the roof surface. Pay special attention to roof edges and areas around chimneys where wind uplift is strongest.
Can cracked or broken roof tiles be repaired or do they need replacement?
Minor cracks in tiles can sometimes be repaired using roofing cement or sealants as a temporary fix, but replacement is typically the best long-term solution. Broken tiles should always be replaced since repairs rarely restore their waterproofing integrity. Professional roofers can often match existing tiles closely, though perfect color matches may be challenging with older installations due to weathering and manufacturing changes.
How much does tile roof repair cost in Glendale?

How long does tile roof repair take to complete?
Most tile roof repairs can be completed in one to two days, depending on the extent of damage and weather conditions. Simple repairs like replacing a few broken tiles may take just a few hours, while more complex repairs involving underlayment work or multiple areas can extend to several days. Emergency repairs to stop active leaks are typically prioritized and completed within 24 hours.
