Start below the tile
A roof can need attention even when its tiles look intact. The inspection should consider underlayment condition, broken pieces, and leak paths.
A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CLASSIC
Discuss tile Character that runs deep.
The rhythm of tile gives a roof its unmistakable silhouette. Beneath it, underlayment and carefully detailed transitions do the essential work.
TILE ROOFINGWHAT TO CONSIDER
Beyond the surface.
Repair with the right match
Profile, size, and fastening matter when replacing damaged tiles. Discuss matching options and availability before work begins.
Respect the structure
Changing roofing materials can change loading. Any proposed change should account for the supporting structure and project requirements.
Clay · two-piece
Mission clay
The Southern California silhouette. Cover and pan tiles create deep shadow and a thick, historic profile.
Fired clay two-piece. Heavier than concrete. Structure must be confirmed before specifying.
Product coverage varies by manufacturer. Citium reviews workmanship coverage in the written scope.
Clay · one-piece
Clay S-tile
A single rolled profile. Lighter visual rhythm than two-piece Mission, still unmistakably tile.
One-piece clay S-profile. Fastening and underlayment specified per the assembly.
Manufacturer and workmanship terms confirmed with the selected product.
Concrete
Concrete S-tile
A durable, widely available profile for Mediterranean and ranch homes. Color-through body with surface slurry.
Concrete S-profile. Weight is significant — decking and structure are part of the assessment.
Confirm product and installation coverage before work begins.
Before you decide.
Does one broken tile mean I need a replacement roof?
Not necessarily. An inspection can help distinguish a local repair from a wider underlayment or drainage problem.
Can existing tiles be reused?
Condition, compatibility, and the project scope determine whether reuse is practical. Ask Citium to assess your roof.
