Elite Roofing Company LLC
Assess clay or concrete tiles, underlayment and flashings before deciding whether to replace isolated tiles or reroof.
Planning the work
A cracked tile is a reason to inspect the roof around it. The underlayment, adjacent pieces and flashings help determine how large a repair is appropriate.
Clay and concrete tiles come in varied profiles and sizes. Save a safe ground-level photo and any product paperwork. When a match is difficult, ask what the replacement would look like and whether the available profile can be integrated with the original installation.
Valleys and wall joints can collect runoff from more than one roof plane. Ask whether the inspection considers where the water flows and whether tiles, flashing or underlayment would need to be removed to see what is happening below them. Check whether the deck has been affected if water has entered repeatedly.
For reroofing, compare underlayment, tile profile, fastening, valley assemblies and penetration flashings. A property with both tile and a flat porch roof also needs a clear transition detail. Ask whether the deck and assembly support the proposed system and get applicable approvals identified in writing.
Keep feet off clay tile when documenting damage. Walking on the assembly can break pieces, and the access risk is greater on sloped or wet surfaces. Use safe visible observations and let the professional inspect areas you cannot see.
Start by describing the concern in your own words and sharing when it started. If you know the year of the last roof work, have the record or invoice available. Mention nearby openings, equipment or renovations and share photos from a safe location. Commercial owners can speed up the first conversation by identifying the person who can approve access and explaining which areas are occupied.
Before authorizing work, ask which parts of the roof are included, which materials are proposed and how changing conditions will be handled. Request the name of the permit authority if the project requires one. A mixed roof may use different methods on different slopes, so ask where the proposal changes from one assembly to another.
Miami-Dade publishes roofing permit information and the City of Miami provides roofing checklists for city addresses. Use the street address to identify the right authority before arranging applications or inspections.
