Your Atlanta Metropolitan Area Tile Roofing Contractor

Tile roofs are known for their durability, timeless beauty, and energy efficiency. Unlike asphalt shingles that may need replacement every 20 years, tile roofs can easily last 50 to 75 years with proper care. They reflect sunlight, resist pests and rot, and hold their color and shape over time.

Many homeowners also appreciate that tile roofing adds significant resale value and enhances curb appeal.

In most cases, we recommend removing the existing roof before installing a tile system. Tile is heavier than most roofing materials, and your structure must be able to support the added weight safely.

During your inspection, our experts will evaluate your roof deck and framing to determine the best path forward. If reinforcement is needed, we’ll handle it to ensure your new tile roof performs safely and efficiently for years to come.

A well-installed tile roof can last five to seven decades, sometimes even longer. Clay and concrete tiles are exceptionally resilient against weather, UV exposure, and fire. The underlayment—the waterproof barrier beneath the tiles—may require replacement after 20–30 years, but the tiles themselves often remain intact. 

Regular maintenance and timely repairs from a qualified tile roofing contractor can easily extend your roof’s lifespan well beyond 50 years.

Tile roofing can be more expensive upfront than asphalt shingles, but it’s a long-term investment that pays off over time. The total cost depends on factors such as tile type, roof size, and complexity. However, tile roofs rarely need replacement, and their energy efficiency can help lower cooling costs.

When you factor in durability and resale value, many homeowners find tile to be a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Tile roofs require minimal maintenance, but regular inspections are key to longevity. You should have your roof checked annually to ensure no tiles are cracked or displaced and that the underlayment and flashing remain secure.

Avoid walking directly on the tiles to prevent breakage. At Jaco, we offer comprehensive roof inspections and maintenance services to keep your tile roof performing and looking its best.
