A tile roof is one of the most durable roofing systems you can have on a home, but its durability holds only when problems are caught and addressed early. Left alone, a cracked tile or failed flashing can allow water into the underlayment and decking, turning what could have been a straightforward repair into a much larger project.
Todco Roofing has been handling tile roof repair in Chicagoland for over 30 years. We work on clay tile, cement tile, and specialty profiles, and we bring the same level of care to every repair as to a full installation.
Tile roofing systems are made up of more than just the tile itself. The underlayment, flashing, mortar, and fastening system all play a role in how the roof performs. When any one of those components fails, the whole system is vulnerable. Issues we commonly repair include:
Tile is one of the most durable roofing materials available, but the systems beneath it are not. When a cracked tile, failed flashing, or deteriorated mortar goes unaddressed, water finds its way into the underlayment and decking where it can cause damage far more involved than the original issue.
The tile surface can also be deceiving. A roof can look intact from the ground while moisture is already working through a compromised underlayment below. Catching problems early through regular inspections and prompt repairs is the most cost-effective way to protect a tile roof long term.
Before any tile roof repair work begins, we conduct a thorough inspection of the full roofing system. Many contractors skip this step and go straight to replacing visible damage, often missing the underlying cause entirely.
Here is what our inspection covers:
Once we have a clear picture of what is going on, we walk you through what we found and what we recommend. No surprises, just an honest assessment.

How Much Does Tile Roof Repair Cost?
It depends on the extent of the damage, the type of tile, and what underlying components need to be addressed. We provide honest, detailed estimates after a proper inspection.
What Causes a Tile Roof to Leak?
Most tile roof leaks trace back to failed flashing or deteriorated underlayment rather than the tile itself. Tracing the actual source is the first thing we do before any work begins.
Can You Walk on a Tile Roof Without Breaking It?
Not safely without knowing where to step. Tile is durable but brittle under direct pressure, which is why any work on a tile roof should be handled by someone who knows how to move across it correctly.
Do You Handle Storm Damage Tile Roof Repairs?
Yes. Hail, high winds, and falling debris can all cause sudden damage to a tile roof. We assess storm-damaged roofs throughout Chicagoland and move quickly when needed.
Can You Match My Existing Roof Tile?
In most cases, yes. We carry new and reclaimed tile inventory and match color, profile, and texture as closely as possible. Learn more about our clay tile and cement tile options.
Can you match broken or missing roof tiles?
In most cases, yes. We carry a wide inventory of tile in common profiles and colors, and we work to match color, texture, and profile as closely as possible to your existing roof.
