Are you looking for a specific tile for your roof? Visit our sister company Custom Tile Roofing to see our large selection of available inventory for your next project or repairs.
The condition of the tile, underlayment, flashings, and how the tile is fastened are all important factors. For example, deteriorated or brittle underlayment can be prohibitive of repairs. The waterproofing of a tile roofing system is the underlayment, so if the underlayment is compromised, then your roof is susceptible to leaks. If you are experiencing leaks or other roofing issues and repair is not an option, you can choose between replacement or restoration.
Replacement means that we remove and dispose of (or salvage) all of the roofing materials down to the deck and replace with all new roofing materials.
Restoration means that we will remove all tile and set aside for re-installation, remove and replace underlayment, flashings, and battens (if applicable), then re-install the tile. Formula is unique in its ability to offer the restoration option, boasting one of the largest collections of historic and discontinued roofing tile in the nation.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN WEIGHING RESTORATION VS. REPLACEMENT:
If the existing roofing system and underlayment was installed properly, is still in good condition, and the tile itself is not failing, then repair may be a viable and more economical option. It is important that all factors are carefully considered before proceeding with a repair. Rely on experts to get it done right the first time.
Choosing between repair, restoration, and replacement can be a difficult decision, and it should not be made without the input of an expert.
We can help. Roofers, insurance companies, and homeowners alike come to us for our expertise, and value us as an industry resource.
