Tile Roofs Around Boerne: What to Know
The tile lasts a lifetime. The underlayment doesn’t.
Tile is really two roofs. The tile sheds most of the water and handles sun and fire beautifully. The underlayment beneath catches the rest, and in Hill Country heat the standard products used in the 1990s and 2000s fail in 20 to 25 years while the tile above looks new. Most tile roof leaks we see in Fair Oaks Ranch and The Dominion are underlayment, flashing or valley failures hidden under tile that was walked on wrong by other trades.
Tile repair done right means lifting tiles, fixing the layer beneath and resetting them, not smearing sealant on the surface.

How We Handle Tile
Tile rewards experience and punishes shortcuts.
Structural check
Tile weighs 6 to 10 times what shingles do; we confirm framing before quoting new tile.
High-temp underlayment
Rated for the heat that builds under tile, so it outlasts the products that failed early.
Proper battens and fastening
Per manufacturer and wind-zone requirements.
Metal flashing
Valleys, sidewalls and chimneys flashed in metal. Sealant is not flashing.
Matched replacement tile
Matching or reclaimed tile so the repair doesn’t announce itself.
Careful foot traffic
Crews trained to walk tile without breaking it.
Lift and Relay: The Tile Roof Renovation
Keep your tile. Replace what’s under it. Get another 30 years.
When a 25-year-old tile roof leaks in several places, the tile is almost always fine. We remove it carefully, replace underlayment, flashing and damaged decking, and reinstall your tile with new matching pieces for any that break. A fraction of the cost of a new tile roof, with like-new performance and the look you bought the house for.
Tile Roofing FAQ
How long does a tile roof last here?
The tile, 50 years or more. The underlayment, 20 to 30 depending on the product. Plan an underlayment replacement around year 25.
Can my house support tile?
Homes built for tile are framed for it; switching from shingles usually needs reinforcement. We check first.
Why is my tile roof leaking with no broken tiles?
Failed underlayment or flashing beneath the tile. Time to look at what’s underneath.
Can other trades walk on my tile roof?
Carefully, and only where supported. Most broken tiles we replace were cracked by HVAC, satellite or painting crews.
Clay or concrete?
Both. Clay holds color longest; concrete offers more profiles at lower cost. We’ll show samples.
