The longest lasting, strongest, most reliable roofs are made with concrete tile. The majority of providers are so confident in their products that they offer fifty year warranties. This is because concrete tiles are made from concrete, which is placed under very high pressure during formation. They last for a very long time, protection your house from all of the elements, including wind, rain, and snow. They are also very safe to walk on when engaging in roof repair. Thankfully, if you tiles ever do need to be to be repaired, it is not too difficult to replace them on your own. It is still very important to take all of the precautions necessary when working high off of the ground, of course.
First, buy concrete tiles that match your home. If you can, you should try to find out what the make and model number of your tiles is. This is important because different types will not only look different, it may not be possible to install them in your roof.
Another possibility, if the new tiles don’t quite match, is to use tiles from a different part of your roof. If the missing tiles are located in a very visible part of your roof, you can use tiles from a part of the roof that is less visible. You can then use the new tiles to replace the ones that you moved. This way the new tiles won’t stand out as much.
Use a crowbar to remove the tiles to the left and above the damaged area. Do this by sliding the crowbar underneath the tile and pushing down lightly until the tile pops out of place. Next remove the damaged tiles. In most cases, the tiles snap right in to place without nails or any other fixtures. Once the adjacent tiles have been removes, it should be very easy to remove the damaged tile. Put the new tile in place of the old one, snapping it in. Reattach the the left and the top tiles by snapping them in to place.
Do this for all of the tiles that need to be replaced. When you are finished you shouldn’t be able to tell that anything was ever wrong with the roof.
