Tile Roof Repair in West Palm Beach, FL Concrete and clay tile, put right.

Tile is everywhere in Palm Beach County, from Mediterranean Revival houses in West Palm Beach to the planned communities of Wellington and Palm Beach Gardens. A tile roof can last a long time, but it is not maintenance free, and when it leaks the cause is usually under the tile rather than the tile itself.

Concrete and clay tiles shed most of the rain. The real waterproofing is the underlayment beneath them, and in the Florida heat that layer wears out long before the tile does. Mendieta repairs both.

What goes wrong with tile roofs

• Cracked and broken tile. From foot traffic, falling branches or storms. Replaced tile by tile with matching profiles.
• Slipped or loose tile. Reset and fastened so the wind cannot get under it.
• Ridge and hip lines. Crumbling mortar or loose caps reset and sealed.
• Valleys and penetrations. Where water concentrates, flashing and underlayment repaired.
• Worn underlayment. Tiles carefully lifted, new underlayment installed, and sound tiles relaid.

Barrel, S-tile and flat tile

The crew works on barrel tile, S-tile and flat concrete tile, including the white and terracotta roofs you see all over the county. Matching an older or discontinued tile can take some legwork. Sometimes the best match is a salvaged tile taken from a hidden section of the same roof.

When a tile re-roof makes sense

If the underlayment has failed across the whole roof, patching one spot at a time stops paying off. A tile re-roof replaces the underlayment and either relays the original tile or puts down new. It is also the moment some owners decide to switch to shingle. The estimate lays out each option so you can compare them side by side.

Stay off a tile roof yourself if you can. Untrained foot traffic is one of the main reasons tiles crack, and a cracked tile you cannot see from the ground can let water reach the underlayment for months.
