Concrete tile gives you the look and longevity of tile at a lower price than clay, with a Class A fire rating to match. It comes in flat, low-profile styles for modern homes and in S-tile and barrel shapes that echo classic Spanish clay. Many LA homes have concrete tile roofs that are 30 or more years old, and on most of them the tiles are still in good shape. What’s worn out is the underlayment beneath them. We install new concrete tile roofs, repair cracked and broken tiles, and lift and reset existing tiles over new underlayment.

Concrete tile is strong, but it can crack under falling branches, earthquake movement, or foot traffic from other trades like solar and HVAC installers. Older tiles can also become brittle with age. We replace broken tiles with matching ones, reset slipped tiles, and repair the underlayment and flashing underneath so water stays out.

Answers to common questions about concrete tile roofs in Los Angeles.
A concrete tile roof is made from tiles of molded concrete, colored either all the way through or on the surface. They come in low-profile flat tile styles for modern homes and in curved S-tile and barrel shapes that look like traditional Spanish clay. Concrete tile is one of the most common tile roofs in Southern California.
Quality concrete tiles typically last 50 years or more. The underlayment beneath them usually wears out first, often after a few decades, and it can be replaced while reusing your existing tiles.
Concrete tile costs less than clay and comes in more profiles, including flat styles that clay doesn’t offer as widely. It’s heavier than clay, though, and its color can fade over the years, while clay holds its color for decades. Both are durable and carry a Class A fire rating. We install both and will help you decide what fits your home and budget. See our Spanish & Clay Tile Roofing page for more on clay.
Yes. Concrete tile weighs much more than asphalt shingles, so your home’s framing has to be able to carry it. If you’re switching to concrete tile from a lighter roof, we evaluate the structure as part of your estimate and recommend reinforcement if it’s needed. Homes that already have tile are generally built for the weight.
Yes. We replace cracked and broken tiles, re-secure slipped tiles, and repair the underlayment and flashing around vents, valleys, and walls. Replacing a handful of damaged tiles is usually quick and inexpensive, and you don’t have to redo a whole section of roof to fix them.
In most cases, yes. Many concrete tile profiles are still made today, and we can source matches for older or discontinued tiles from suppliers and salvage. When an exact match isn’t available, we can often move tiles from a less visible part of the roof to the repair area and use the closest match where it won’t show.
Because the tiles aren’t what keeps water out. Concrete tiles shed most of the rain, but the underlayment beneath them is the real waterproof layer. On older roofs that underlayment dries out, tears, and wears through, so the roof leaks even though the tiles look perfect from the street. Cracked tiles, slipped tiles, and worn flashing are other common culprits.
Usually, yes. It’s called a tile lift-and-relay: we remove your tiles, install new underlayment and flashing, and reset the original tiles, replacing any that are broken. If your tiles are still in good condition, it’s often the most cost-effective way to get a watertight roof for decades to come.
A new concrete tile roof costs more than asphalt shingles because of the material, its weight, and the labor involved, but less than clay tile, and it lasts much longer than shingles. A lift-and-relay that reuses your existing tiles typically costs less than a brand-new tile roof. We’ll give you a free, detailed written estimate for your home.
Yes. Concrete tile carries a Class A fire rating, the highest available, which makes it a strong choice for hillside and brush-area homes throughout LA County. Installation matters too: the open ends of the tiles at the eaves and ridges should be closed off so embers can’t blow underneath.
Tile needs enough slope to shed water, generally at least about 3 inches of rise per foot, though the exact minimum depends on the tile and the manufacturer. For flatter areas such as patios or low-slope sections, we can recommend a flat roof system that works alongside your tile roof.
Every tile roof we install includes our 10-year workmanship guarantee, plus the manufacturers’ warranties on the tiles and the underlayment system.
