Understand your tile roof repair options

START WITH YOUR QUESTION

Is this an isolated tile repair or a problem beneath the tiles?

An isolated broken tile may call for a limited repair. Leaking, repeated repairs or wider visible problems may call for further investigation. A photograph or storm report cannot establish which scope your property needs.

What you can take away: Leave knowing what to observe safely and what a repair assessment should explain.

1. Protect people first

   Avoid wet electrical areas and sagging ceilings; do not climb onto the roof.

2. Record the observation

   Note the location, timing and earlier repairs without guessing the cause.

3. Ask for a proportionate scope

   Request findings and an explanation of why repair, investigation or replacement is proposed.

Questions worth answering before you decide

Does a crack mean I need a new roof?

No. A crack is an observation. The extent of damage, compatible tile availability and the surrounding system need assessment.

Can I use a storm report to prove damage?

No. Nearby reports provide context. Damage and its cause require a property assessment; the insurer determines coverage.
