Clay tile roof repair requires a careful touch – tiles are durable but brittle, and walking on them incorrectly can crack tiles that weren't even part of the original problem. Repairs usually involve cracked or slipped tiles and the underlayment beneath them, which tends to wear out well before the tiles themselves do.
We handle this for Killduff, IA homeowners with clay tile roofs showing cracked, broken, or slipped tiles, or leaks that trace back to failed underlayment rather than the tiles. Clay tile roofs can last 50 years or more, but the underlayment underneath typically needs replacement partway through that lifespan.
We access the roof carefully, using techniques that avoid unnecessary tile breakage, and identify which tiles are cracked, slipped out of place, or missing entirely. Individual tile replacement is straightforward when we can source a matching profile and color. If the leak is coming from underlayment failure rather than the tiles themselves, we remove the affected tiles, replace the underlayment section, and reset the original tiles rather than replacing tile that's still in good condition.
Cost depends on how many tiles need replacement and whether underlayment work is needed underneath.
