Tile Roofing Elmwood
A Roof That Knows How to Stick Around
Tile roofing has a reputation for longevity, and for good reason. Clay and concrete tiles can last for decades, with some clay tile roofs remaining in service for 100 years or more when they’re properly installed and cared for. They also bring a look you simply don’t get with a standard shingle roof.
Elmwood homeowners can enjoy durability, fire resistance, and strong protection against Nebraska weather while adding plenty of character to the house.
4,000+ Projects Completed
Summit Exteriors has completed approximately 4,000 roofing and exterior projects. That's a lot of roofs, repairs, replacements, and storm damage to learn from.

Hail and high winds can affect tile, flashing, underlayment, and other parts of the roofing system. We'll document what we find and help you understand the damage if an insurance claim is part of the project.
More Than Roofing
Summit Exteriors also handles siding and gutters, so you have a way to address other exterior work if your roofing project brings additional issues to light.

Why Choose Tile Roofing?
Tile has a few advantages that help explain why it’s still around after all these years. Clay and concrete tiles are naturally resistant to fire, insects, and rot, and they can handle plenty of exposure to the elements without requiring constant attention.
There’s also the appearance. Tile comes in a range of shapes, colors, and profiles, so it can give a home anything from a classic look to something a little more distinctive. For homeowners thinking about curb appeal as well as durability, that’s a useful combination.
Tile can also help with energy efficiency. The material has thermal mass, and the way tile roofs are installed can allow for ventilation beneath the tiles, which can help moderate temperatures in the roof assembly.
Is Your Home Ready for Tile?
Tile is heavier than many other roofing materials, so installation isn’t something you want to approach like a basic shingle replacement. The existing structure needs to be able to handle the additional weight, and the condition of the decking and other roofing components needs to be checked before the new roof goes on.
That inspection can also uncover repairs that need to happen first. If there is damaged decking, underlayment, or other deterioration underneath the existing roof, it’s much easier to deal with those issues while everything is accessible.

FAQ
How long does a tile roof last?
Tile is one of the longer-lasting roofing materials available. Clay and concrete tile roofs can remain in service for many decades, and clay tile in particular can last 100 years or more when the roof is properly installed and maintained.
Is clay tile a good choice for Nebraska weather?
Clay tile can handle heat, wind, snow, and other weather exposure, but the entire roofing system needs to be designed and installed correctly for the property. The structure, underlayment, flashing, and installation details all have to work with the tile.
Is tile roofing expensive?
Tile generally costs more upfront than basic asphalt shingles because the material itself is heavier and the installation requires more preparation and care. That initial investment can make more sense for homeowners who are looking for longevity and a particular architectural style.
Can you put tile over my existing roof?
Usually, the existing roofing system needs to be evaluated before tile is installed. Because tile is heavier than many other roofing materials, the roof structure, decking, and existing materials all need to be checked to make sure the home is ready for it.
Does tile roofing require much maintenance?
Tile itself is relatively low maintenance, but the roof still deserves regular attention. Keeping drainage areas clear and replacing cracked or damaged tiles can help prevent moisture from getting into the roofing system.
Can tile roofs be repaired?
Absolutely. A few damaged tiles don’t necessarily mean the whole roof needs to be replaced. Individual tiles and other roofing components can often be repaired or replaced when the rest of the system is still in good condition.
Does tile roofing improve curb appeal?
It can make a noticeable difference in the way a home looks. With different colors, profiles, and materials available, tile can complement everything from traditional homes to more distinctive architectural styles.
Is tile roofing fire resistant?
Clay and concrete tiles are naturally fire resistant, which is one of their long-standing advantages as a roofing material. The overall fire performance of a roof also depends on the complete roofing assembly and how it is installed.
What are the different types of tile roofing?
Clay and concrete are two of the most common choices, and tile comes in plenty of colors, shapes, and profiles. Synthetic options can also recreate the look of materials such as slate, so there’s more variety than you might expect.
Is tile roofing a good option for residential roofing?
Tile can work beautifully on a residential roof when the home’s structure is suited to the material. It’s durable, offers long-lasting protection, and can give an Elmwood Park home a distinctive look that asphalt shingles simply can’t replicate.
What are the benefits of choosing tile over wood roofing?
Tile doesn’t have the same concerns with rot, insects, and fire that can affect wood roofing, and it generally requires less ongoing maintenance. It also has exceptional durability, making it worth considering for homeowners thinking about longevity rather than just the initial installation.
Can tile roofing improve my home's appearance?
Definitely. The variety of colors, shapes, and profiles makes it possible to find a tile style that works with the architecture of the house instead of making the roof look like an afterthought. It can also give an older home a more traditional feel or add character to a newer one.
How do I know if tile roofing is right for my home?
Start with the house itself. Tile is heavier than many other roofing materials, so the existing structure needs to be able to support it, and an inspection can answer some of those questions before you get too far into the project.
Give Your Home a Roof With Some Staying Power
Tile isn't the quickest or simplest roofing material to install, but that's part of what makes it interesting. When the home is suited to it, and the system is installed properly, you can end up with a roof that's built for a very long run and gives the house a completely different look.
