Question 1

Can I inspect my own tile roof?

Accepted Answer

You can and should do a ground level check after every storm. Do not walk on the roof yourself. Walking on tile the wrong way breaks it and creates new damage while you look for old damage. We have been called out to repair tile that homeowners cracked during their own inspection. A professional inspection covers everything you cannot see from the ground.

Question 2

How often should I inspect my Orlando tile roof?

Accepted Answer

Once a year at a minimum. Twice a year, in spring before hurricane season and in fall after, for roofs over 20 years old or homes with heavy tree cover. Also, after any named storm, no matter what you can see from the ground.

Question 3

Are small cracks in tiles actually serious?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Small cracks grow under heat stress and impact, and even a hairline crack lets water onto the underlayment during wind driven rain. Fixing one or two cracked tiles costs $300 to $500. Waiting until the underlayment is compromised costs three to five times more.

Question 4

What if I notice several of these signs at once?

Accepted Answer

Several signs together usually mean a bigger, system wide problem, such as failing underlayment, widespread flashing wear, or storm damage across the roof. Do not book separate repairs for each item. Get one full inspection first to see the whole picture, then fix everything together.

Question 5

Do you only repair tile roofs?

Accepted Answer

No. We are a full service Orlando roofing company. We repair and replace tile, shingle, metal, and flat roofs, but we know tile especially well, including how to source discontinued profiles from the 1980s and 1990s and how to spot underlayment problems that general roofers miss.
