Why Residential Tile?
Tile Roofing Performs Best When Structure, Underlayment and Water Paths Work Together
Short answer: Tile roofing can provide durable weather protection and a distinctive Southwestern profile, but the visible tile is only the outer layer. Structure, underlayment, flashing, fastening, battens where used and drainage details determine how the full roof performs.
- Durable Exterior Surface Quality concrete or clay tile resists sun and weather when the product, profile, fastening and supporting assembly fit the roof.
- Critical Underlayment Tile sheds most water, while the underlayment and flashings protect the deck from moisture that passes beneath the tile field.
- Structural Compatibility Tile weight, deck condition and framing capacity must be evaluated before assuming an existing home can support the selected system.
- Repairable Components Individual broken tiles may be replaceable when matching material is available and the underlayment and surrounding field remain serviceable.

What a Complete Residential Tile Roof Should Actually Include
Roof tile alone is not a complete roofing system. Long-term performance depends on structure, deck condition, underlayment, flashing, fastening, tile profile, ventilation and drainage. The written scope should identify each included layer, concealed-condition rules and manufacturer requirements.
Tile and Assembly Selection
Select concrete or clay tile, profile, color, underlayment, fastening, flashing and ventilation based on structure, exposure, appearance and budget.
Tear-Off and Deck Preparation
Remove agreed roofing layers, expose the deck and correct approved damaged areas before the new underlayment and tile system cover the structure.
Underlayment and Flashing
Install specified underlayment, edge details, valleys, wall flashing and penetration protection to create the water-management layer beneath the tile.
Tile System Installation
Install battens where specified, field tile, hip and ridge pieces, fasteners and closures using the layout and attachment requirements for the assembly.
Cleanup and Final Review
Remove roofing debris, replace approved broken units, review visible tile and flashing details and provide applicable workmanship and manufacturer documentation.
The Magic Roofing Process

Evaluate the existing roof, deck, visible structure, geometry, transitions, penetrations, ventilation and drainage.

Review the Tile System
Review tile profile, underlayment, attachment, flashing, included work, exclusions, structural assumptions and warranty terms.
4
Install the Tile Roof
Protect the property, complete the agreed tear-off and install the specified underlayment, flashing and tile assembly.
5
Final Review
Clean the site, review visible tile and flashing details and provide applicable tile roofing documentation.
Residential Tile Roofing Options
Choose the Tile Roofing System That Fits the Home
There is no universal “best tile” for every Farmington home. Structural capacity, pitch, architecture, freeze-thaw exposure, profile, color, maintenance expectations and budget all matter. Magic Roofing can explain where each option fits.
Versatile Tile Option
Concrete Roof Tile
Available in multiple profiles and colors with strong weather resistance. Structural capacity, underlayment, fastening and flashing still control the assembly.
Discuss Concrete Tile → Traditional Premium OptionClay Roof Tile
A distinctive, long-lasting option for compatible structures. Product characteristics, weight, climate exposure, breakage and availability should be reviewed.
Ask About Clay Tile → Profile and AppearanceTile Profiles and Colors
Flat, low-profile, S-profile and other tile shapes create different shadow lines, water paths and attachment requirements. Samples should follow technical fit.
Compare Tile Profiles → Mixed-Slope TransitionsLow-Slope Compatibility
Porches, additions and low-slope roof sections may require membrane roofing integrated carefully with adjacent tile, walls and drainage paths.

Local Tile Roofing Is About More Than Picking a Profile
Farmington tile roofs face intense sunlight, high winds, dust, hail, sudden storms, freeze-thaw cycles and large temperature swings. Those conditions affect tile selection, fastening, underlayment, flashings, mortar or approved adhesives and every transition where water can move beneath the field.
A tile roofing plan should account for the actual home and site, including structural capacity, orientation, pitch, penetrations, drainage, attic conditions, deck condition, terrain and wind exposure.

- High-Wind Events
- Hail and Sudden Storms

Tile Roofing FAQs
Farmington Tile Roofing Questions
What types of roof tile does Magic Roofing install?
Options may include concrete and clay tile in multiple profiles when appropriate for the structure and roof design. Availability depends on selected product, color, project scope and current material access.
Can every home support a tile roof?
No. Tile is heavier than many other roofing materials, so framing, deck condition and existing design must be evaluated. Structural engineering or reinforcement may be required before installation on some homes.
How long does residential tile roofing last?
Service life varies by tile material, underlayment, flashing, fastening, climate exposure, installation quality and maintenance. The visible tile may outlast components beneath it, so no universal lifespan applies.
Can broken roof tiles be repaired individually?
Often, when matching tile is available and the surrounding assembly remains sound. Broken tile can also signal foot traffic, impact, movement or fastening issues, so the underlying cause should be evaluated.
Why is underlayment so important beneath roof tile?
Tile sheds most rainwater, but moisture can still pass beneath the field. Underlayment and flashing form the critical secondary water-management layer protecting the deck and interior.
Can tile roofing handle Farmington wind and hail?
Properly selected and installed tile can perform well, but product rating, fastening, edge details, exposure and impact severity matter. Hail can crack individual units, and wind can exploit loose or poorly detailed areas.
What warranties come with residential tile roofing?
Magic Roofing offers a 10-year residential workmanship warranty on qualifying projects. Manufacturer coverage varies by tile, underlayment, assembly and registration requirements. Review workmanship and manufacturer terms before work begins.
Do you offer financing for residential tile roofing?
Financing may be available for qualifying projects. Approval, rates, terms, fees and program availability depend on the financing provider and applicant. Compare the total repayment—not only the monthly payment—before choosing a plan.
