How do I know if I need tile repairs or a full tile replacement?

Our certified tile inspectors assess several factors:

• • Age: Tile roofs over 50 years old may need replacement
• • Extent of tile damage: Multiple cracked or broken tiles may indicate replacement
• • Underlayment condition: Damaged felt under tiles often requires full replacement
