Aastro Roofing Company Tile Roof Replacement
Restoring Your Home’s Heavy-Duty Protective System
Main Feature: Deep Underlayment Renewal and Heavy Tiling
A tile roof replacement involves removing all old concrete or clay tiles, stripping the old waterproofing paper, fixing any damaged wood, and laying down an ultra-thick secondary water barrier. Then, brand-new, heavy-duty clay or concrete tiles are mechanically attached using strong screws or specialized foam adhesive.
Main Benefit: Complete Storm Protection and 50+ Year Lifespan
The biggest benefit is getting a beautiful, heavy roof system that can withstand massive storm winds and last for over 50 years. It provides premium protection against fire, rot, and severe weather while giving your home a high-end, timeless look.
Pros & Cons
| Pros (The Good) | Cons (The Bad) |
| Incredible Lifespan: Concrete and clay tiles can easily last 50 to 100 years with proper care. | Very Heavy Weight: Roof tiles are extremely heavy and require a strong home structure to support them. |
| Natural Insulation: The thick tiles create an air pocket that keeps outdoor heat from entering your home. | Highest Initial Cost: It is one of the most expensive roofing systems you can buy upfront. |
| Unmatched Style: Gives homes a premium, upscale look that greatly increases property value. | Brittle Material: Walking on tiles incorrectly will crack them, requiring careful future maintenance. |
The Why: Why Choose a Full Tile Roof Replacement?
In hot and stormy climates, the actual tiles on your roof can last for almost a century, but the black waterproofing paper underneath them usually wears out and rots after 20 to 25 years. When that underlayment fails, your roof will begin leaking everywhere, even if the tiles look fine from the street.
A tile roof replacement fixes this by removing the tiles, laying down a brand-new, high-tech waterproof barrier, and installing fresh tiles. It permanently cures your home’s leak problems, raises your home’s resale value, and ensures your house is ready for the biggest storms.
