Tile Roof Replacement in Boise

Why Tile Roofing?

Tile roofs are the premium choice. They last 50-100 years, handle Idaho weather perfectly, and add incredible curb appeal to your home.

Yeah, they are expensive. And heavy—your roof structure needs to support the weight. But if your home is built for it and you want something that will outlast everything else, tile is hard to beat.

Clay vs. Concrete Tiles

You have got two main options:

Clay Tiles - Traditional terra cotta look. Made from natural clay that is fired in kilns. They are lighter than concrete, do not fade, and have that classic Mediterranean or Spanish style. More expensive but absolutely beautiful.

Concrete Tiles - More affordable and heavier. Made from sand, cement, and water. They can be made to look like clay, slate, or wood. Tons of color options. Very durable and practical.

Both types last decades and handle our climate well. Your choice usually comes down to budget and aesthetic preference.

Benefits of Tile Roofs

• Longevity - 50-100 years depending on material and maintenance

• Low maintenance - Individual tiles can be replaced if damaged
• Curb appeal - Distinctive look that increases home value
• Environmentally friendly - Natural materials, no petroleum products

Installation Process

Installing tile roofing is specialized work. The tiles are heavy and brittle—you need crews who know what they are doing.

Here is what is involved:

• Structural assessment to ensure your roof can handle the weight
• Remove old roofing materials
• Reinforce roof structure if needed
• Install proper underlayment and battens
• Layout and install tiles with precise spacing
• Install ridge caps and hip tiles
• Flash all penetrations and valleys
• Clean up and haul away debris

Tile roof installation takes longer than shingles—usually 1-2 weeks for most homes.
