Cement tile is one of the most versatile and durable roofing materials available, and it is a natural fit for the architectural styles found throughout Chicagoland. It delivers the classic look of a high-end tile roof at a more accessible price point, and when it is installed correctly, it holds up exceptionally well in the Midwest climate.
Todco Roofing has been providing cement tile roofing services in Chicagoland for over 30 years. Whether you need a new installation, a repair, or a full restoration, we have the experience and material knowledge to handle it right.
Cement tile roofs are durable, but they are not indestructible. Over time, individual tiles can crack from impact or freeze-thaw stress, flashing can fail, and underlayment can deteriorate even when the tile surface looks intact. When these issues are caught early, cement tile roof repair is almost always the right first step before considering a full replacement. We carry a wide inventory of cement tiles in common profiles and colors for accurate matching, and we handle full restoration projects where the tile is still serviceable, but the underlying system needs to be rebuilt.
The Chicago area has a rich mix of architectural styles, and cement tile works well across most of them. Some of the most common profiles we install and repair include:
