About Our Tile Roof Services
Tile roofing represents one of the oldest and most reliable roofing materials available, with proven lifespans exceeding 100 years when properly installed and maintained.

Residential Tile Roofing
Clay Tile Roofs for Homes
Clay tile roofing brings timeless Mediterranean or Spanish-style elegance to residential properties while delivering exceptional performance in the Texas climate. Made from natural baked clay, these tiles resist fading, provide superior insulation against summer heat, and naturally repel insects and rot. Clay tiles typically weigh 600-650 pounds per 100 square feet and feature low water absorption rates (under 6%), making them ideal for the DFW area’s weather patterns. Available in terracotta, white, yellow, orange, and brown tones, clay tiles maintain their rich color for decades without painting or sealing.
Concrete Tile Roofs for Homes
Concrete tiles offer homeowners a cost-effective alternative that mimics the appearance of clay, slate, or wood shake at a lower price point. Manufactured from cement, sand, and water, concrete tiles provide excellent durability and can withstand temperature variations better than clay. These tiles work well in virtually any climate and come in flat, low-profile, and high-profile designs to match your architectural vision. While concrete tiles are heavier (820-1,100 pounds per 100 square feet) and require periodic maintenance due to their 13% water absorption rate, they deliver 30-50 years of reliable performance.
Commercial Tile Roofing
Clay Tile Systems for Businesses
Commercial properties benefit from clay tile roofing’s superior fire resistance, energy efficiency, and minimal maintenance requirements. The natural insulation properties of clay help regulate building temperatures, reducing HVAC costs throughout the year. Clay tiles’ curved profiles promote air circulation beneath the roof surface, creating additional thermal performance. We work with commercial clients to assess structural capacity, coordinate with building codes, and complete installations that minimize business disruption.
Concrete Tile Solutions for Commercial Buildings
Concrete tiles provide commercial property owners with versatile, durable roofing that accommodates large roof spans and complex architectural designs. The interlocking nature of concrete tiles creates robust weatherproofing, while the material’s weight provides natural wind resistance—an important consideration for the DFW area’s severe weather. We help commercial clients select appropriate profiles, colors, and finishes that align with brand image while delivering long-term protection and value.
Why Choose Veteran Brothers Roofing & Restoration for Tile Roofing
Specialized Tile Installation Expertise
Tile roofing requires advanced knowledge that standard shingle contractors often lack. Our crew receives comprehensive training in proper tile handling, underlayment systems, and fastening techniques specific to both clay and concrete materials. We understand critical details like maintaining proper tile exposure, preventing breakage during installation, and accommodating thermal expansion. This specialized expertise prevents the common installation errors that lead to premature failures and costly repairs.
Structural Assessment and Reinforcement Services
Before any tile installation, we conduct thorough structural evaluations to determine if your roof deck requires reinforcement. Tile roofs place significantly more load on structures than lighter materials. Our team identifies whether additional support is necessary and coordinates any structural upgrades, ensuring your roof meets building codes and manufacturer specifications. This proactive approach prevents sagging, damage, and potential safety hazards.
Premium Underlayment and Waterproofing Systems
We never cut corners on the critical waterproofing layers beneath your tile roof. Our installations include high-quality underlayment designed specifically for tile applications, including secondary water barriers, ice and water shields in vulnerable areas, and proper flashings around penetrations. For low-slope applications (down to 2.5:12 pitch), we install full waterproofing membranes as required by tile manufacturers. These systems ensure your tile roof remains watertight for its entire lifespan.
Manufacturer-Certified Installation Standards
As a contractor committed to excellence, we follow strict manufacturer installation guidelines that preserve warranty coverage and ensure optimal performance. Our team stays current with the latest installation methods, including modern low-profile fastening systems, proper batten installation, and advanced seismic and wind-resistant attachment techniques. This attention to manufacturer standards protects your investment and gives you confidence in your roof’s long-term integrity.
Veteran-Owned Precision and Accountability
Our veteran-owned business operates with the discipline, attention to detail, and mission-focused approach learned through military service. We treat every tile roof project with the precision it demands—no shortcuts, no compromised quality. From accurate material calculations to meticulous cleanup (running magnets multiple times to ensure no fasteners remain), we deliver the thoroughness you deserve. Our commitment extends beyond installation to building lasting relationships with clients throughout the DFW Metroplex.
Complete Roofing Services in the DFW Metroplex
Our comprehensive roofing expertise extends beyond tile systems to serve all your roofing needs:
Emergency Roofing
Severe weather doesn’t wait, and neither do we. Our rapid response team provides same-day service for urgent roofing issues throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, protecting your property when you need it most.
Gutter Services
Clogged or damaged gutters often contribute to roofing emergencies by directing water under shingles and into attic spaces. Our gutter services ensure proper water management, reducing the likelihood of water-related roofing emergencies during heavy DFW storms.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing systems offer superior resistance to many emergency situations, including high winds and hail damage. When rebuilding after emergency damage, many DFW property owners upgrade to metal roofing for enhanced storm protection and longevity.
Roof Inspection
Regular professional roof inspections identify potential failures before they become emergencies. Our thorough inspection service examines every component of your roofing system, catching issues like failing flashings, worn shingles, and compromised sealants that could lead to emergency situations during the next storm.
Roof Repair
Not every roofing problem requires emergency response, but all roof repairs deserve professional attention. Our standard roof repair service addresses issues like minor leaks, damaged shingles, and aging components before they escalate into urgent situations requiring after-hours intervention.
Roof Installation & Replacement
When storm damage is extensive enough that emergency repairs aren’t sufficient, complete roof installation may be necessary. Our roof installation service transforms storm-damaged roofs into long-lasting protection, often completed faster than you’d expect when emergency situations demand rapid turnaround.
Slate Roofing
Slate roofs damaged by fallen trees or severe impact require specialized emergency repair techniques. Our slate roofing expertise ensures proper restoration that maintains the integrity and appearance of these premium roofing systems, even in emergency scenarios.

Our Tile Roofing Installation Process
Initial Assessment and Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your property, discussing your aesthetic preferences, budget considerations, and performance expectations. Our team examines your existing roof structure, measures for accurate material calculations, and determines whether structural reinforcement is necessary to support tile weight. We provide detailed explanations of clay versus concrete options, helping you select the tile type, profile, and color that best suits your needs.
Structural Evaluation and Preparation
Before installation begins, our crew thoroughly inspects your roof deck for any damage, rot, or inadequate framing. If additional support is required, we coordinate structural upgrades to ensure your roof can safely carry tile loads for decades. We remove old roofing materials, make necessary repairs to the deck, and verify that all substrates meet manufacturer specifications for tile installation.
Professional Installation and Quality Control
Our experienced installers apply premium underlayment systems, ensuring complete waterproofing protection. We carefully position and fasten each tile according to manufacturer guidelines, maintaining proper exposure, alignment, and attachment methods. Throughout installation, we implement strict quality controls to prevent tile breakage, ensure consistent appearance, and verify wind resistance ratings. Our attention to detail during this phase determines your roof’s long-term performance.
Final Inspection and Documentation
Upon completion, we conduct a thorough walkthrough to verify every tile is properly installed and secured. We inspect all flashings, ridge caps, valleys, and transitions to ensure watertight integration. Our team provides detailed documentation of your installation, including warranty information, maintenance recommendations, and photos of the completed work. We never consider a job finished until you’re completely satisfied.
Complete
Site Cleanup
Tile installations generate significant debris, which we meticulously remove from your property. Our crew runs industrial magnets multiple times across your entire property to collect any loose fasteners—a critical step for homes with children or pets. We haul away all old materials, broken tiles, and packaging, leaving your property cleaner than we found it.
Common Tile Roofing Issues We Address
Cracked or
Broken Tiles
Individual tile damage from foot traffic, hail impact, or thermal stress can compromise your roof’s waterproofing. We replace broken tiles promptly, matching color and profile to maintain your roof’s appearance and integrity. Our repair process includes inspecting underlying underlayment for water damage and addressing any secondary issues discovered.
Underlayment Failure and Water Intrusion
Even when tiles remain intact, aging underlayment can deteriorate and allow water infiltration. We identify underlayment problems through careful inspection and perform targeted repairs or complete re-roofing as needed. Proper underlayment replacement restores your roof’s waterproofing without necessarily replacing tiles that remain in good condition.
Improper Installation and Fastening Problems
Many tile roof failures stem from incorrect original installation—inadequate fastening, improper exposure, or insufficient underlayment. Our team identifies and corrects these installation defects, bringing your roof up to current manufacturer standards and building codes. This corrective work often prevents catastrophic failures and extends roof life significantly.
Structural Deflection and Sagging
Roofs inadequately designed for tile weight may experience deck deflection, sagging, or even structural failure over time. We assess structural adequacy and coordinate necessary reinforcement to stabilize your roof system. Addressing structural issues promptly prevents progressive damage and maintains your property’s safety.
Tile Displacement from Wind or Storm Damage
Severe weather can displace or remove tiles, especially when the original installation didn’t meet current wind resistance standards. We secure loose tiles, replace missing units, and upgrade attachment methods to enhance your roof’s wind resistance. Our storm damage repairs ensure your tile roof performs as designed in future severe weather events.
Efflorescence and Moisture Problems
White crystalline deposits (efflorescence) on concrete tiles indicate moisture issues requiring attention. We identify moisture sources, improve ventilation if needed, and address any underlying problems causing water accumulation. Proper moisture management prevents tile degradation and extends roof life.
Valley and Flashing Deterioration
Metal valleys and flashings eventually corrode or separate, creating leak points despite intact tiles. We replace deteriorated flashings with high-quality materials, ensuring proper integration with your tile system. This preventive maintenance protects vulnerable transition areas before leaks cause interior damage.
Ridge Cap and
Hip Failure
Ridge and hip tiles experience greater stress and weather exposure than field tiles. When these components fail, we replace them with properly mortared and fastened units that restore your roof’s appearance and weatherproofing. Quality ridge cap work prevents the most common tile roof leak source.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Roofing
How long do clay and concrete tile roofs last?
High-quality clay tiles can last 100 years or more when properly installed and maintained, making them one of the longest-lasting roofing materials available. Concrete tiles typically provide 30-50 years of reliable service. Both materials significantly outlast asphalt shingles, which generally require replacement every 15-25 years. Actual lifespan depends on installation quality, climate conditions, and regular maintenance.
Will my roof structure support tile weight?
Tile roofs are significantly heavier than asphalt shingles or metal roofing. Clay tiles weigh approximately 600-650 pounds per 100 square feet, while concrete tiles weigh 820-1,100 pounds per 100 square feet. Many homes require structural reinforcement before tile installation. Our team conducts thorough structural assessments and coordinates any necessary upgrades to ensure your roof safely supports tile loads throughout its lifespan.
What’s the difference between clay and concrete tiles?
Clay tiles are made from natural baked clay, offering superior longevity (100+ years), lower water absorption (under 6%), and permanent color that never fades. They’re lighter than concrete and maintain their appearance indefinitely. Concrete tiles cost less upfront, weigh more, and typically last 30-50 years. They absorb more moisture (around 13%) and may require periodic resealing. Concrete offers greater versatility in mimicking other materials like slate or wood shake.
Can tile roofs withstand DFW area weather?
Yes, when properly installed, tile roofs perform exceptionally well in the Dallas-Fort Worth climate. Clay and concrete tiles resist fire, high winds, and intense UV radiation. However, clay tiles can crack during freeze-thaw cycles, making proper underlayment and installation critical in Texas. Our installations meet manufacturer wind resistance specifications and include enhanced fastening in high-wind zones. Quality tile roofs regularly survive severe hailstorms and windstorms that destroy conventional shingle roofs.
How much does tile roofing cost compared to other materials?
Tile roofing represents a significant upfront investment, typically costing 2-3 times more than asphalt shingles initially. However, the long-term value proposition changes dramatically when you factor in tile’s 50-100+ year lifespan compared to replacing shingles 3-4 times over the same period. Tile roofs also increase property value, reduce cooling costs through superior insulation, and require minimal maintenance. We provide detailed cost comparisons and financing options to help you make informed decisions.
Do tile roofs require special maintenance?
Tile roofs require less maintenance than most roofing materials. Regular inspections should verify no broken tiles, check flashing condition, and ensure underlayment remains intact. Periodic professional cleaning removes debris and prevents moss growth. Avoid walking on tile roofs when possible, as foot traffic can cause breakage. With proper care, quality tile roofs provide decades of trouble-free performance with minimal intervention.
Can you repair tile roofs or do they need full replacement?
Many tile roof problems can be addressed through targeted repairs rather than complete replacement. Cracked or broken tiles are easily replaced individually. Underlayment failure may require re-roofing even when tiles remain serviceable. Our team assesses each situation individually, providing honest recommendations about repair versus replacement based on your roof’s overall condition, your budget, and long-term value considerations.
