Common Tile Roofing Problems

Is Your Tile Roof Showing Signs of Damage?

Tile roofs are built to endure decades of exposure, yet even the most durable roofing systems eventually show wear. Property owners in Wake Forest often notice cracked or broken tiles after severe storms, which can allow water intrusion that damages underlayment and roof decking below. Loose tiles create pathways for moisture, while deteriorating mortar around ridge caps leads to leaks that may go undetected until interior damage appears.

Aging tile roofs also experience issues with underlayment breakdown, particularly on roofs 15 years or older where the original waterproofing layer has degraded. When underlayment fails, even intact tiles cannot prevent water from penetrating your roof structure. Inadequate ventilation beneath tile systems can accelerate material deterioration and drive up cooling costs during hot North Carolina summers.

Ignoring these warning signs risks far more extensive damage to interior ceilings, insulation, and structural framing. Mold growth becomes a concern when leaks persist unaddressed. Early intervention through tile roof repair or replacement protects your property value and prevents costly secondary damage that affects living spaces below your roofline.

Property owners throughout Wake Forest and surrounding communities have shared their experiences working with Wake Forest Roofing. Our track record speaks through hundreds of satisfied customers who trust us to protect their most valuable investment.

      Our experience with Wake Forest Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Wake Forest Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Wake Forest Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Wake Forest Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Wake Forest Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Wake Forest Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Wake Forest Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Wake Forest Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Wake Forest Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Wake Forest Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Wake Forest Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Wake Forest Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Wake Forest Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Wake Forest Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Wake Forest Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Wake Forest Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Wake Forest Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Wake Forest Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Wake Forest Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Wake Forest Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Wake Forest Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Wake Forest Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Wake Forest Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Wake Forest Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Wake Forest Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Wake Forest Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Wake Forest Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Wake Forest Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Wake Forest Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Wake Forest Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Wake Forest Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Wake Forest Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Wake Forest Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Wake Forest Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Wake Forest Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Wake Forest Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Wake Forest Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Wake Forest Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Tile Roofing Questions Answered

      Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Roofing

      Property owners considering tile roofing often have similar questions about materials, installation, maintenance, and performance. We've compiled answers to the most common inquiries we receive about tile roofing services in Wake Forest. Our experienced team is always available to discuss your specific situation and provide personalized guidance based on your property's unique needs.

      Properly installed clay or concrete tile roofs commonly last between 50 and 100 years when maintained correctly. Clay tiles tend to have the longest lifespan, often exceeding 75 years, while concrete tiles typically perform well for 50 years or more. The actual lifespan depends on several factors including material quality, installation methods, local climate exposure, and regular maintenance. Underlayment beneath the tiles usually requires replacement before the tiles themselves wear out, which is why periodic inspections become important as roofs age. With appropriate care and timely repairs when needed, tile roofs represent one of the longest-lasting roofing options available to property owners.
      Tile roofs need relatively minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials, though regular attention helps maximize their lifespan. Annual inspections allow professionals to identify cracked or displaced tiles before leaks develop. Keeping gutters clean prevents water backup that can damage roof edges and underlayment. Moss or algae growth should be addressed promptly since organic buildup can deteriorate tiles over time and create moisture problems. Walking on tile roofs requires care since tiles can crack under concentrated weight, so professional maintenance is recommended. Ridge caps and flashing should be inspected periodically to ensure proper sealing. Trees overhanging the roof should be trimmed back to prevent branch damage and reduce debris accumulation. With this routine care, tile roofs maintain their protective function and appearance for decades.
      Tile roofs perform exceptionally well in North Carolina's climate, offering advantages that make them an excellent choice for the region. Their thermal mass helps regulate attic temperatures, keeping homes cooler during hot summers and reducing cooling costs. Concrete and clay tiles resist moisture absorption, preventing the freeze-thaw damage that affects some roofing materials during winter temperature swings. The interlocking design and proper installation techniques create wind-resistant roofing that withstands storm conditions common in North Carolina. Tile roofs also provide superior fire resistance, an important consideration given seasonal wildfire risks in some areas. The material doesn't rot or decay in humid conditions, unlike wood shakes. Proper underlayment installation and adequate ventilation ensure tile roofs handle the region's moisture levels effectively while delivering decades of reliable protection.
      Clay and concrete tiles each offer distinct advantages worth considering for your roofing project. Clay tiles are lighter in weight, which can reduce structural requirements, and they typically maintain their color better over time since the color runs through the entire tile. Clay tiles generally last longer than concrete and develop an attractive weathered patina as they age. Concrete tiles cost less initially and come in a wider variety of colors and profile styles, providing more design flexibility. Concrete tiles can be manufactured to mimic other materials including wood shakes or slate. Both materials provide excellent fire resistance, durability, and energy efficiency. The choice often comes down to aesthetic preference, budget considerations, and whether your existing roof structure can support the weight. Our team can assess your specific situation and recommend the best option for your property.
      Individual tile replacement is definitely possible and represents one of the advantages of tile roofing systems. When tiles crack or break due to impact from falling branches or other damage, a professional roofer can carefully remove the damaged tile and install a replacement without disturbing surrounding tiles. The challenge sometimes lies in finding matching tiles, particularly for older roofs where the original manufacturer may no longer produce that specific style or color. Experienced roofing contractors often maintain inventories of common tile types or know sources for discontinued products. In some cases, tiles from less visible roof areas can be relocated to prominent sections, with new tiles that don't match perfectly placed in hidden spots. Proper replacement technique ensures the new tile integrates seamlessly with the existing roof and maintains complete weather protection. Regular inspections help identify damaged tiles early before they cause water intrusion.
      Tile roofing systems weigh significantly more than most other roofing materials, which means structural support becomes an important consideration. Concrete tiles typically weigh between 800 and 1,100 pounds per square (100 square feet), while clay tiles range from 600 to 900 pounds per square, compared to asphalt shingles at around 200 to 300 pounds per square. Existing roof framing must be evaluated to ensure it can safely support this additional weight. Many homes built with tile roofs already have appropriately engineered framing, but properties originally constructed with lighter roofing materials may require structural reinforcement before tile installation. A professional assessment examines rafter spacing, size, and condition, along with the overall roof structure. In some situations, upgrading to clay tiles instead of concrete can reduce weight concerns. Our team conducts thorough structural evaluations before recommending tile roofing to ensure your property can safely support the system throughout its decades-long lifespan.
