Professional Tile Roof Repair You Can Count On
Noticed cracked or slipping tiles on your roof? Seen a stain on your ceiling after a storm? When it comes to tile roofs, even a small issue can quickly turn into a big, expensive problem if it’s not handled correctly.
At McKinney Roof Repairs, we specialize in tile roof repair. Our focus is simple: find the problem fast, fix it the right way, and help your tile roof last as long as possible.
Whether you’re dealing with an active leak, broken tiles from a recent storm, or just a few problem spots, our local team is ready to help.
Urgent Tile Roof Problems That Need Immediate Attention
Active Leaks and Interior Water Damage
If you’re seeing water dripping, ceiling stains, bubbling paint, or damp spots on walls after rain, your tile roof needs quick attention.
Tile roofs are built to shed water, but once moisture finds a way underneath, it can:
- Rot the roof decking and framing
- Damage insulation and drywall
- Lead to mold growth
- Spread far beyond the original leak area
Our team responds quickly to:
- Locate the exact source of the leak (not just the visible stain)
- Remove affected tiles in the problem area
- Inspect and repair underlayment and flashing
- Reinstall tiles or replace damaged ones
We don’t just patch the visible issue – we check the full section of the roof so the problem doesn’t return with the next storm.
Storm, Hail, and Wind Damage to Tile Roofs
After strong winds, hail, or heavy storms, your tile roof may look fine from the street but still have serious damage. Common issues include:
- Cracked or fractured tiles
- Tiles slipped out of place or missing entirely
- Loose ridge caps and hip tiles
- Impact damage from fallen branches or debris
Left alone, these openings allow water to reach the underlayment and wood beneath. We provide:
- Thorough storm-damage inspections
- Documentation and photos to support insurance claims
- Temporary protection if needed while permanent repairs are scheduled
- Tile replacement and secure re-fastening in damaged areas
If you suspect storm damage, it’s best to have your tile roof inspected sooner rather than later. Catching and repairing issues early is far cheaper than rebuilding damaged roof sections later.
Safety Concerns and Structural Issues
Some tile roof problems go beyond appearance and can affect safety:
- Sagging areas of the roof deck
- Loose tiles that could slide off and fall
- Long-term leaks that may weaken framing
If we find signs of structural concern during an inspection, we’ll explain what’s happening in clear terms and outline your repair options step by step.
Our Tile Roof Repair Services
Accurate Diagnosis of Tile Roof Problems
Tile roofs are beautiful and durable, but they’re also more complex than they appear. Often, the real problem is hidden under the tiles, not on top of them.
During a tile roof inspection, we:
- Walk the roof carefully using proper techniques to avoid damaging tiles
- Check for cracked, loose, misaligned, or missing tiles
- Examine flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys
- Inspect ridge and hip tiles for movement and gaps
- Look for underlayment issues and evidence of water intrusion
Once we’ve inspected your roof, we’ll share our findings in plain language, show you photos of problem areas, and recommend a repair plan that matches your needs and budget.
Tile Replacement and Matching
One of the biggest worries homeowners have is whether replacement tiles will match the existing roof. Over time, tiles weather, fade, and change color slightly.
We handle tile replacement carefully by:
- Identifying your existing tile type, profile, and material (concrete or clay)
- Sourcing the closest possible match from manufacturers or suppliers
- Reusing undamaged tiles from less-visible areas when needed to keep the visible sections consistent
- Installing and securing new tiles following manufacturer and industry best practices
We take the time to make repairs that look as natural as possible, so your roof is both sound and attractive.
Underlayment and Flashing Repairs Beneath Tile
Tiles are the first line of defense, but the true waterproof layer on a tile roof is under the tiles: the underlayment and flashing system.
Common hidden problems include:
- Aged, brittle, or torn underlayment
- Poorly installed or corroded flashings
- Gaps at valleys, skylights, chimneys, and walls
When necessary, we:
- Carefully remove tiles in the affected area
- Repair or replace worn or damaged underlayment
- Install new flashing where needed
- Reinstall or replace tiles over a properly sealed base
This kind of targeted repair can add years of life to your tile roof and prevent recurring leaks.
Ridge, Hip, and Edge Tile Repairs
Ridge and hip tiles (along the peaks and corners) are especially vulnerable to movement, wind uplift, and mortar failure. Over time, you might notice:
- Gaps between ridge or hip tiles
- Loose or “rattling” tiles in windy conditions
- Missing mortar or sealant at joints
We correct these issues by:
- Re-securing or re-bedding loose ridge and hip tiles
- Replacing broken trim tiles along edges
- Sealing exposed fasteners and vulnerable joints
These repairs help protect your roof from wind-driven rain and improve its overall stability.
Why Tile Roofs Need Specialized Repair
Understanding Your Tile Roof System
A tile roof isn’t just tiles. It’s a layered system that includes:
- Structural decking
- Underlayment
- Flashing
- Battens or fastening systems
- Tiles (concrete or clay)
Improper work—like walking carelessly on tiles, using the wrong fasteners, or skipping underlayment repairs—can cause more damage than the original problem.
Our team is trained specifically for tile roof systems, so repairs are done correctly the first time.
Extending the Life of Your Existing Tile Roof
Tile roofs are known for their long lifespans, but only if they’re maintained and repaired when issues appear. Common reasons to invest in tile roof repair include:
- Protecting your home from water damage
- Preventing small problems from turning into full roof failures
- Preserving the architectural look and value of your property
- Avoiding the higher cost of premature roof replacement
Whenever possible, we focus on preserving and repairing your existing tile roof instead of pushing you toward a full replacement you may not need yet.
