Tile roofs (clay and concrete) are uncommon in Northeast Ohio but Atlas Roofing services the Willoughby homes that have them. Tile lasts 50+ years but requires specialty repair when individual tiles crack or underlayment fails.
Material selection in Willoughby is informed by the local architecture — primarily Greek Revival, Gothic, Italianate. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Willoughby's historic core has 69 buildings on the National Register — the Greek, Gothic, Italianate, and Classical Revival architecture there requires careful flashing and material-matching work where we don't default to standard architectural shingles.

Tile is heavier than asphalt and was historically uncommon in our region. Most tile roofs in Willoughby 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.
