Tile and slate roofs are lifetime products — but the underlayment beneath them is not. In Dallas we regularly see 30-year-old clay tile roofs where the tiles are fine and the felt underneath has failed, causing leaks that homeowners mistake for a bad roof. A proper tile or slate replacement re-uses sound material where possible and rebuilds the waterproofing system underneath.
These systems are heavy: concrete tile runs roughly 900 to 1,200 pounds per square, and slate more. Before any replacement we verify the structure can carry the load, and we will tell you honestly if framing reinforcement is needed — that assessment is part of the estimate, not a surprise mid-project.
For new tile or slate installations we work through profile, color, and weight options with you, source from established manufacturers, and install with the upgraded flashings and battens these systems need to survive DFW wind-driven rain and hail.
