Blue Peaks Roofing installs and repairs concrete tile roofs, including Westlake Royal concrete tile. Tile has a distinctive look and is heavy, so it needs careful planning.
Every project starts with a free inspection and a straight answer about whether your tile roof needs a repair, new underlayment or a full replacement.
We install Westlake Royal concrete tile. Concrete tile comes in several profiles and colors, including flat slate-style and curved styles, and we help you match your home and any HOA requirements.
Tile is much heavier than shingles. Westlake's weight chart lists tile, including concrete tile, at roughly 600 to 1,100 pounds per roofing square (100 square feet), depending on the product.
The tile sheds most water, but the underlayment beneath it is what keeps the roof dry, and underlayment can wear out before the tile does.
Concrete tile can crack if it is walked on the wrong way or hit by large hail. We walk and work on tile roofs with that in mind.
Cracked or broken tiles, slipped tiles and flashing problems can often be repaired by replacing individual pieces.
When the underlayment is worn but much of the tile is sound, we can remove the tile, install new underlayment and reinstall the tile, replacing damaged pieces. We do this for a section of the roof or the whole roof.
When the tile itself is damaged or discontinued, a full replacement with new concrete tile may be the better choice.
Moving from shingles to tile adds a lot of weight to the roof structure, so it usually needs a structural check and can add permitting steps.
After an inspection we explain which option fits your roof and why. Read more about repair vs. replacement.
Concrete tile projects in Denver, Aurora and Evergreen, from underlayment and battens to the finished roof.
We pull the reroof permit unless your contract says otherwise.
Tile roofs often have more inspections than shingle roofs. The Town of Parker, unincorporated Douglas County and Denver all require a mid-roof inspection for tile roofs (parkerco.gov, douglasco.gov, denvergov.org).
Changing to tile can also require structural review. For example, Douglas County requires a letter from a structural engineer when standard-weight tile is installed on a roof that did not have tile before (douglasco.gov). We confirm the requirements for your address before we order materials. For background, see roofing permits: city vs. county in Colorado.
Often much of it can. If the tile is sound, we can remove it, install new underlayment and reinstall it, replacing damaged pieces, on part of the roof or the whole roof. We tell you after the inspection.
Sometimes. Tile is much heavier, so the roof structure has to be checked, and some jurisdictions, such as Douglas County, require a structural engineer letter (douglasco.gov).
Large hail can crack or break concrete tile. A hail damage inspection documents what the storm did.
