Signs It’s Time to Replace (Not Repair) Your Tile Roof

While Tile Roof Repairs are often enough, there comes a point when a full replacement is the smarter, safer investment. But how do you know when you've hit that point?

Here are the top warning signs that a replacement may be needed:

• Widespread Cracking: If large sections of tiles are cracked, repairs won’t hold up long-term.

• Frequent Leaks: Recurring leaks, even after fixes, indicate deeper structural issues.

• Old Age: Most tile roofs last 30–100 years, but if yours is nearing the end of its expected life, it may be time to replace.

• Sagging Roofline: A sagging or uneven roofline often points to underlying damage in the support structure.

• Underlayment Failure: If the underlayment is deteriorating and causing water intrusion, a full replacement is typically recommended.

• Moss & Algae Damage: Extensive growth can compromise the integrity of both tiles and underlayment.
