It’s that time of year again. The Santa Ana winds blow from October to February testing the integrity of Orange County roofs. While a tile roof provides better protection against those relentless winds, it isn’t impervious to damage. So, as the winds begin to blow you need to check for loose or broken tiles. A tile roof repair requires the services of an expert, like the deck and tile expert at Crank.
Benefits of a Tile Roof
A tile roof complements the Mediterranian and Spanish architecture so common in Southern California. Roof tiles and stucco exteriors just go together.
Tile roofs provide long-lasting protection to your home. While the roofing material isn’t cheap, it is incredibly durable. Some tile roofs last up to 50 years with proper maintenance and care.
The natural air ventilation under the tile produces a heat transfer barrier. Homes with clay or concrete tile roofs stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This translates into energy savings in every season of the year.
But, to provide the maximum benefits, your tile roof must be in good repair.
Types of Tile Roof Repair
The most common tile roof repair is replacement of a broken tile or securing a loose tile.
The Santa Ana winds losen tiles. Over time, some roof tiles break down and become lose. Improper pressure washing or other maintenance activities damage roof tiles as well.
Crank Roof and Deck makes any type of tile roof repair you need. Water damage or wind damage, the cause doesn’t matter to Crank. We focus on the solution!
Upon inspection, Crank may determine the problem is the flashing and not a roof tile. Flashing by vents and chimneys should direct water away from the roof, not be a source of water intrusion.
Flashining repair or replacement is as common as tile repair or replacment when it comes to repairing a tile roof.
