Tile roofing is a very common choice in some areas of the country, but not as commonly seen in other parts of the country. In the southwest in particular, Mediterranean tile roofing is pretty much part of the culture itself, giving the region and its homes an immediately identifiable look.
At first, it’s more expensive to install a tile roof compared to a wood shake roof, metal roof, or asphalt shingle roof, but tile roofs also have the potential to last much longer than other roofing materials. Depending on the quality of the materials that are used, a good tile roof can last upwards of 70 years, or even longer. When you compare that to how long asphalt shingles last — sometimes, as little as ten years — it’s clear just how smart an investment tile roofing can be.

Before beginning the installation process, it's crucial to prepare the roof deck thoroughly: Ensure the roof deck is clean, dry, and free from any debris or obstructions. Address any damaged or rotten sections of the roof deck by repairing or replacing them as necessary.
The next step involves installing an underlayment to enhance waterproofing and provide additional protection against water penetration: Begin by laying down a waterproof underlayment, such as felt paper or synthetic underlayment, across the entirety of the roof deck. Secure the underlayment in place, ensuring it is properly aligned and overlapped according to manufacturer recommendations.
Tile roofing, including concrete tiles, is known for its superior impact resistance. This makes it capable of withstanding the force of high winds and hail, ensuring long-lasting protection for your property. 4.Human Activity Concerns: Surprisingly, one of the biggest threats to a tile roof is human activity. Tiles are not designed to withstand excessive foot traffic, and careless handling during repairs or installations can easily lead to chipped or broken tiles.

Install ridge tiles along the ridge of the roof, securing them in place using appropriate fasteners and sealants. Ensure that ridge tiles are properly aligned and overlapped to provide a finished appearance and to prevent water infiltration.
Install roof ventilation components such as ridge vents, soffit vents, or attic fans to promote air circulation and prevent moisture buildup in the attic space. Proper ventilation helps extend the life of the roof and prevents issues such as ice dams and mold growth
Inspect the entire roof surface to ensure all tiles are properly installed and secured. Make any necessary adjustments or repairs to ensure the roof is watertight and structurally sound. Clean up any debris or excess materials from the job site to ensure a clean and professional finish.
