Tile roofing is one of the most beautiful and durable roofing systems ever made. When it is installed correctly and maintained by someone who actually knows what they are doing, it can last well over 100 years. That is not something you can say about most roofing materials.
Todco Roofing has been providing tile roofing services in Chicagoland for over 30 years. We work exclusively with clay tile, cement tile, and specialty profiles, bringing a level of focus and hands-on experience that makes a real difference on older and high-value properties.
Whether your tile roof needs a minor repair or a full replacement, we have the materials, experience, and craftsmanship to handle it right. Our tile roofing services in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs include:
Cracked tiles, broken sections, flashing failures, and active leaks. We identify the source of the problem and fix it properly so it does not come back. Most repairs can be completed quickly, and in many cases without disturbing the surrounding tile.
For roofs with significant wear but a solid underlying structure, restoration is often the smarter investment than full replacement. We assess what can be saved, build a plan around it, and bring the system back to full performance without replacing anything that does not need to be replaced.
When it is time for a new tile roof, we handle the full installation from start to finish. From proper underlayment and flashing integration to balanced ventilation, every installation is built for the long term with materials selected to match both the performance demands of the Chicagoland climate and the architectural character of your home.
Most tile roofs in the Chicagoland area are on older homes, and that is exactly where our expertise runs deepest. We work with a wide range of tile systems, including Spanish, Mission, flat, and interlocking profiles, but our deepest specialization is in clay tile and cement tile, the two materials most commonly found on historic and architecturally significant properties throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Clay tile is dense, fire-resistant, and when properly maintained, virtually indestructible. Cement tile offers similar appeal at a more accessible price point and holds up well in the Midwest climate. Both require a level of care and material knowledge that goes well beyond standard roofing work, and that is exactly what we bring to every project.
Clay and cement tile roofs are not just found on homes. Some of the most well-known buildings across Chicagoland were originally built with tile roofing systems, and many of them still have those original roofs today. We work on:
One of the biggest challenges with tile roofing in Oak Park and throughout Chicagoland is finding materials that actually match. The wrong color, profile, or finish stands out immediately and can undermine the property’s overall look.
This is where having the right inventory matters. We carry a large stock of new and reclaimed tile materials, which means we can match most existing roofs without long lead times or custom orders. Whether you need a handful of replacement tiles for a tile roof repair or a full section redone, we take the time to get the match right every time.

How long does a tile roof last in Chicagoland?
Clay tile can last 75 to 100 years or more with proper maintenance. Cement tile typically lasts 40 to 50 years. Regular inspections and prompt repairs make a big difference.
Can you repair just a section of my tile roof without replacing the whole thing?
Yes, and often that is exactly what we recommend. If the damage is localized and the structure is sound, targeted repair is the smarter investment. We will give you an honest assessment either way.
My tile roof is leaking, but the tiles look fine. What is going on?
Most tile roof leaks trace back to failed flashing or deteriorated underlayment, not the tile itself. We find the actual source before recommending any work.
Do you work on tile roofs in historic districts?
Yes. We have worked on properties in designated historic districts throughout Chicagoland for decades and understand the material and preservation standards that come with that work.
What is the difference between clay tile and cement tile?
Clay tile is a natural, fired material known for its durability and fade resistance. Cement tile is a manufactured alternative that is slightly more affordable and available in a wide range of profiles. Learn more about clay tile roofing and cement tile roofing.
