Tile Roofing in Coral Springs, Florida
Tile is the roof most Coral Springs homes were built with, and it lasts long. The layers beneath the tile are what age first, and they are where the real work is.
- Concrete and clay
- Uplift calculations
- Zone-approved systems
Overview
The tile outlives the underlayment
Concrete and clay tile are heavy, durable and good at shedding water, which is why they dominate roofs on 1980s and 1990s stucco homes in the city. Tile does not fail by wearing out; it fails when what is under it does.
The city's roofer packet asks for uplift calculations on tile roofs, using one of the methods in the Uniform Permit Application, and notes that old sheathing may have to be re-nailed. We prepare those calculations and list the tile system's approval on the permit.
Why us
What USA Roofing Coral Springs brings to the job
Approved tile systems
Tile and its attachment follow an approved system for the zone, listed on the permit.
Re-lay or replace
If the tile is sound we can lift it, renew the underlayment and re-lay it. If it is not, we replace it.
Deck and fascia
Rotted sheathing and fascia behind the tile are repaired under our building license.
Calculations in the packet
The uplift calculations the city asks for are prepared with the application.
Re-lay or replace the tile
When the tile itself is in good shape, a re-roof can keep it and replace only what is below. When the tile is cracked, faded or in a profile that has been discontinued, replacement may be the sounder path.
- Tile is lifted and stacked, with breakage counted and photographed.
- The old underlayment is removed and the deck inspected and repaired.
- A new underlayment and flashings are installed to the approved system.
- Tile is re-laid with replacements for any that broke.
- Hip and ridge caps are set and the roof is inspected.
Questions to ask about any tile proposal
A tile roof has more moving parts than it seems. These questions separate a thorough proposal from a thin one.
- Which underlayment goes under the tile, and what is its approval?
- Is the tile re-laid or replaced, and who covers breakage?
- How will the tile be attached, and where are the uplift calculations?
- Who repairs the deck if it is soft?
- Which inspections are scheduled?
Roof financing
Paying for a roof without draining your savings
Approved applicants can finance a roof with nothing down. The lender puts its terms in writing for you before you commit to anything.
- $0 down on approved credit
- Lender terms given in writing
- Roofing estimate comes first
Approval is up to the lender, and the rate and term you are offered depend on your credit and on the size of the job.
The monthly payment for a 15-year home improvement installment loan of $10,000 with an APR of 10.99% would be $113. No down payment required. Not all loan products will be available to all partners or all consumers.
Questions
Tile Roofing: what people ask us
How do I know whether my tile is the problem?
Usually it is not. The tile may be fine while the underlayment is failing, which shows up as stains and leaks around penetrations and valleys.
Is tile heavier than shingle?
Yes, much heavier. If you are changing from shingle to tile, the framing has to be checked and is often reinforced, and the permit packet includes the calculations that show the structure and the attachment can handle the change.
Can broken tiles be replaced individually?
Yes, though a close match to an old, weathered tile can be hard to find. We can suggest the nearest available profile and color, and an association or a neighbor's roof may help you judge whether the difference will be noticeable.
Does my homeowners association need to approve a tile color?
Many associations do. We give you product data and a sample so that the application is complete, and we will not start work until the approval you need is in hand and the permit has been issued.
