Roof tile repair is a roofing service used to correct damaged, displaced, or unsecured roof tiles that allow water intrusion into a tile roofing system. Aces Roofing and Exterior Solutions is a local roofing company performing roof tile repair by replacing tiles, correcting fastening failures, and restoring components on tile roofs.
Roof tile repair resolves isolated tile failures caused by wind, hail, material wear, or installation defects and remains within the scope of roof repair.
Our professional tile repair is a detailed service that restores the roof's structural and waterproof integrity. We focus on stopping roof leaks and preventing future water damage before it spreads into the roofing system. A proper repair addresses more than just visible tile damage. The repair includes a complete assessment of the roofing system to identify related waterproofing and fastening issues. We ensure every component functions as intended after repairs are completed, maintaining consistent quality across all repair work.
Leak Prevention
We identify the source of water ingress, whether it's a cracked field tile, failed flashing around a chimney, or compromised underlayment. We seal and waterproof the affected roof area to stop active leaks and prevent further water intrusion.
Tile Replacement
Our technicians remove broken, spalled, or missing tiles. We source matching clay, concrete, or slate tiles to maintain the roofline's uniform appearance and protective function.
Secure Fastening
We re-bed and re-point loose ridge caps and hip tiles with fresh mortar. We also refasten slipped or dislodged tiles using appropriate nails, screws, or specialized clips to restore proper tile placement.
Underlayment and Flashing
A tile repair often includes inspecting and patching the underlying waterproof membrane. We also assess and reseal or replace damaged flashing in valleys and around roof penetrations to restore waterproof protection.
Structural Integrity
We check the battens and roof sheathing for signs of rot or water damage. A sound roof structure is necessary to support a durable, long-lasting tile repair.
Choosing Aces Roofing and Exterior Solutions for your tile repair means selecting a qualified roofing contractor focused on accurate diagnosis and proper repair execution. Our tile repair service is performed by experienced roofers who understand the construction and failure points of tile roofing systems.
We don't just patch surface damage; we identify the underlying cause of failure. Our team assesses conditions such as fastener corrosion, underlayment deterioration, and flashing defects, which are among the most common causes of recurring tile roof issues. We correct the immediate issue and reduce the likelihood of recurring leaks.
We specialize in working with tile profiles such as Spanish, Mission, pantile, and flat slate styles. Our team matches replacement tiles to the existing roof covering's color, texture, and dimensions to maintain visual consistency. This approach allows repairs to blend naturally with the surrounding roof area.
We use the correct mortar mixes for re-bedding ridge caps and appropriate sealants for flashing repairs. Each tile repair is completed to remain watertight and resistant to wind uplift. Our workmanship restores the roof's protective barrier while maintaining its finished appearance.
You need tile repair when specific signs of failure or damage appear on your roof. Delaying tile repair after these indicators appear can lead to water intrusion, mold growth, and extensive structural repairs. A prompt assessment from a professional tiler helps limit damage and repair scope. Look for these clear warning signs.
Cracked, Chipped, or Broken Tiles
Impact from hail or fallen tree limbs can cause visible fractures. Thermal cycling and freeze-thaw conditions can also create hairline cracks or cause tile corners to spall. Any break in the tile surface reduces its ability to shed water and requires prompt attention.
Slipped or Misaligned Tiles
Tiles that slide down the roof plane create gaps and expose the underlayment beneath. This condition often results from failed fasteners, corroded tile clips, or deterioration of the mortar bed supporting the tiles.
Interior Water Stains or Dampness
Ceiling discoloration or damp insulation in the attic is a direct indicator of roof leaks. The source is often a compromised tile, split valley flashing, or failed sealant around a vent pipe or skylight.
Visible Debris in Gutters
Small pieces of tile or a sandy, gritty material collecting in gutters and downspouts indicate tile surface erosion. As tiles weather, the protective surface wears away, making them brittle and more susceptible to cracking.
Crumbling Mortar Along Ridge Lines
Mortar used to bed ridge caps, hip tiles, and verges can crack and decay over time. Gaps or crumbling material along the roof apex indicate these tiles are no longer securely set or watertight.
Our tile repair process follows a systematic approach to deliver a durable, watertight result. Tile repair begins with proper safety setup and detailed roof inspections to document damage accurately. Our technicians identify both the primary damage and related weak points within the surrounding roof section. We document all cracked, loose, and missing tiles before work begins.
First, we carefully remove the damaged tile. Tile removal involves prying out old nails or removing hardened mortar without disturbing adjacent tiles. Next, we inspect the exposed underlayment and roof deck for signs of moisture intrusion or rot. If the waterproof membrane is torn or punctured, we apply a patch to restore the seal.
We then install the replacement tile and confirm correct headlap and sidelap based on the roof's pitch. The tile is secured using corrosion-resistant fasteners or set into a fresh bed of roofing mortar, depending on the roof's construction. Finally, we clear all debris from the work area and perform a final inspection to confirm the repair is secure, watertight, and properly aligned.
Our tile repair services incorporate materials used for localized tile repairs and component-level waterproofing. We use replacement tiles, underlayments, and sealants selected specifically to support durable repairs without altering the existing tile roofing system.
For matching replacement tiles used in tile repair, we work with manufacturers such as Boral, Eagle Roofing, Ludowici, and Crown Roof Tiles, which supply clay and concrete tiles compatible with existing residential tile roofs.
For underlayments and waterproof membranes used during tile repair, we use products from GAF, Owens Corning, and IKO to restore waterproof protection in limited repair areas.
Adhesives and sealants from Henry Company, Geocel, and OSI are used to reseal flashing, valleys, and roof penetrations affected by tile damage.
A professional tile repair involves inspecting the roof to identify damaged tiles, underlayment issues, and flashing failures. The process includes removing broken tiles, preparing the roof surface, installing matching replacement tiles with proper fastening, and sealing joints to restore full waterproof protection.
Yes, existing roof tiles can be matched. Roofing professionals source replacement tiles by matching the roof's profile, color, and texture through supplier networks. Common concrete S-tiles and many clay or terracotta tiles are often available as exact or near-exact matches, preserving the home's original appearance.
A typical tile roof repair takes 2 - 4 hours when replacing a few cracked or missing tiles. Repairs that involve underlayment replacement or re-bedding a hip or ridge line usually take a full day. Repair time depends on tile access, roof pitch, and the extent of water damage.
Yes, a single cracked tile needs to be replaced. Even a small hairline crack allows water to pass through the tile and reach the underlayment. Over time, trapped moisture causes rot, mold, and larger leaks. Sealants only provide a short-term fix; replacing the tile prevents permanent damage.
A tile roof can leak even when tiles are intact because the waterproofing system sits beneath the tiles. Leaks usually occur due to failed flashing around chimneys, valleys, or vents, deteriorated underlayment, or cracked sealant around pipe boots. These hidden components allow water intrusion without visible tile damage.
