Tile Roof Replacement

Cracked or slipped tiles, leaks during heavy rain, stained ceilings or underlayment near the end of its service life can leave a tile roof in Lakeland, FL open to water. Tiles often outlast what lies beneath them, so an inspection should look under the tile too.

Tile roof work may include
Inspection of the tiles, ridge and hip pieces, flashing, valleys, underlayment and fastening. Work may involve replacing broken tiles, lifting and relaying tile over new underlayment, or full replacement with clay, concrete or another material.

Plan before hurricane season
A dry-weather inspection gives time to plan before hurricane season starts June 1. In a historic district, ask the city's historic preservation office before changing roof materials.

Ask about tile roofs and describe the tile type, where it leaks, and any cracked or missing tiles.
