Roof Tile can be made in a vast variety of styles, sizes, and colors made out of several different ingredients. Clay, Concrete, and new to the market is Rubber.

Clay and concrete tiles have similar physical properties and installation methods. Concrete is typically cheaper to manufacture than clay and it can be made anywhere. Clay tiles must be made near a clay quarry, so additional freight cost can be an issue, and add to the cost of the roof A well constructed clay or concrete tile roof should last more than 50 years.

A tile roof is not just a mere tile covering but a dynamic, performing system that protects, breathes and ages with the structure. By studying roof performance characteristics and failure points, we at Mike's Roofing have created Roofing Installation System - a collection of components that, when used comprehensively, result in superior installations. Installations of the highest functionality, performance and integrity.

Our Tile Roof System Components:

  • Improve weatherproofing and "breathability" of a tile roof

  • Prevent water damage

  • Increase airflow and ventilation

  • Provide aesthetically pleasing design elements

These components further reinforce our belief that we must strive to perfect not only a roof's aesthetic form, but also its primary function. Only then can we expect to provide our customers with a roofing solution unmatched by any other roof company.
