Tile roofs (clay and concrete) are uncommon in Northeast Ohio but Atlas Roofing services the Cleveland homes that have them. Tile lasts 50+ years but requires specialty repair when individual tiles crack or underlayment fails.
Material selection in Cleveland is informed by the local architecture — primarily century homes (Victorian, Colonial Revival), Cleveland double, American Foursquare. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Cleveland's century-old housing stock has been re-roofed multiple times — careful tear-off down to deck (sometimes through 2-3 layers) is needed to deliver a proper long-term roof.
Cleveland double-deck homes (the iconic two-family configuration) have unique roof geometries with complex flashings around dormers and stairwell additions that require experienced installers.
Tile is heavier than asphalt and was historically uncommon in our region. Most tile roofs in Cleveland are on Mediterranean or Spanish-style homes from the early 20th century.
Yes — individual tile replacement is the standard repair. Color matching for older tiles can be tricky.
