Under the Tile
Tile Roof Work That Doesn't Create New Damage
The tiles are usually fine. What's failing is the layer nobody sees, and getting to it without wrecking the roof is the whole skill.
Tile is common in the stucco and Mediterranean-style homes scattered through the golf communities and along the Waccamaw Neck. Owners are often surprised to learn the tile isn't what keeps water out. It's a rain screen. The underlayment below is the actual waterproofing, and it ages on a much shorter clock than the tile above it.
So a tile repair is really an access problem. Tiles have to be lifted in the right order, walked on in the right place, and reset so the head laps and the mortar work the way they were designed to. Crews without tile experience break more than they fix, and the owner pays for the extra pieces plus the leaks that show up where they stepped.

Tile Trouble
Why Tile Roofs Start Leaking Here
Five things that put a tile roof on our schedule, none of which are the tiles wearing out.
-
Underlayment Past Its Life
Old felt beneath the tile dries out, cracks, and stops shedding water.
-
Cracked Tiles From Foot Traffic
Anyone walking the roof wrong leaves hairline cracks that open up later.
-
Slipped Tiles Out of Course
A tile that shifts breaks the overlap pattern and opens a channel straight down.
-
Crumbling Ridge Mortar
Mortar at hips and ridges weathers out and lets wind-driven rain underneath.
-
Corroded Valley Metal
The valley pans beneath tile rust through long before the tile shows any age.
Tile Repair
Lifting, Fixing, and Resetting Tile
Four careful steps, because on a tile roof the damage usually comes from the repair.
-
Identify the Profile
Shape, manufacturer, and attachment method noted before anything is lifted.
-
Set Walking Paths
Load-spreading boards and correct footing so we don't crack our way across.
-
Open, Repair, Renew
Tiles lifted in order, underlayment or metal replaced, area re-waterproofed.
-
Reset and Re-Mortar
Tiles returned to their courses, ridges re-bedded, broken pieces swapped out.
Tile on the Coast
How Coastal Weather Treats a Tile Roof
Six factors that shape tile roof performance around Myrtle Beach and the Waccamaw Neck.
Tile Handles UV Well
Clay and concrete shrug off sun that would age an asphalt roof out in fifteen years.
Salt Doesn't Bother Tile
The tile itself is inert, though the metal fasteners and valleys beneath it are not.
Attachment Under Uplift
Coastal code requires mechanical fastening, not just weight and mortar.
Underlayment Does the Work
Every drop that gets past the tile is stopped by a layer with a 25-year clock.
Structural Load
Tile weighs several times what asphalt does, so the framing has to be rated for it.
Sourcing Discontinued Shapes
Matching old profiles often means salvage yards rather than a supply house.

Tile Roofing Reviews From Coastal Homeowners
"Replacing our roof felt like a big project, but the team made the process easy to follow. They answered our questions, walked us through the options, and the finished roof looks great."
"The crew explained what needed to be fixed and kept us updated throughout the roof repair. They were respectful of our property and cleaned everything up before leaving. Really appreciated the communication."
Tile FAQs
Tile Roof Questions Owners Should Ask
No — and this surprises most owners. The tile is a durable rain screen that takes the sun and the impact. The actual waterproofing is the underlayment beneath it. Tile can outlive two underlayments, which is why a tile roof can leak while every tile looks perfect.
