Tile Roof Replacement in Gainesville, FL

Tile roof replacement in Gainesville, FL often comes down to the underlayment rather than the tiles. Clay and concrete tiles can last a long time, but the felt or membrane beneath them wears out, and cracked, slipped or broken tiles let summer thunderstorm rain reach that worn layer.

What a tile roof job may include
Inspection of tiles, underlayment, battens, flashing and decking, plus a check of the rafters or trusses, since tile is heavy. The work may involve reusing sound tiles, new tile, or a switch to a lighter material.

Plan ahead of storm season
Most of Gainesville's 48.31 inches of yearly rain falls in summer storms, so planning leaves time to source matching tile and list Florida product approval numbers.

Ask about a tile roof and describe the tile type, any cracked or slipped tiles, and where leaks appear.
