Clay Tile Roofing
Known as one the premier roofing materials, clay tiles have been used for centuries as they are naturally resistant to the elements, are an excellent insulator, and often last 50 years or more. In addition to having these natural properties, they complement a wide range of styles, from Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial to French Provincial manors and Southwestern.
At Huber & Associates, we specialize in clay tile roofing solutions for historic properties, luxury residences, and architecturally complex buildings. We have completed custom tile roofing projects for residential and commercial clients both here and abroad, including installation, restoration, lift and relay, and storm damage repair.
Whether you’re considering a new installation or require repairs for an existing system, you can trust our experienced installers to provide tailored solutions. Contact Huber & Associates to discuss your clay tile roofing project.
Clay Tile Roofing Services
Clay tile is one of the oldest engineered roofing materials in the world and remains a top choice among discerning property owners. It owes its enduring popularity to its resilience, durability, and natural visual appeal.
Huber & Associates works with a wide range of clay tile profiles, including barrel, shake, and flat. Our clay tile roof contractors deliver solutions that enhance the visual character of the roof while ensuring optimal weather protection and performance.
Lift and relay is a restoration method used when clay tile shingles are structurally sound, but the roofing system beneath them has deteriorated. Instead of replacing the entire roof, we temporarily remove existing tiles. This enables us to restore the underlying components, then reinstall the original tiles.
Lift and relay projects allow property owners to:
Preserve the original clay tiles.
Maintain historic tile layouts and detailing.
Restore waterproofing and structural reliability beneath the tiles.
Extend the life of the roof without altering its appearance.
This approach is often used on historic homes where maintaining the original roofing material is a top priority.
Clay tile roof installation is an excellent option for new construction custom residences and estates where the roof is an integral part of the home’s character. This type of roofing system requires meticulous planning to ensure it can support the weight of the tiles and achieve the correct layout for the selected tile profile.
Huber & Associates installs several clay tile profiles, including:
Barrel clay tile
Flat clay tile
Shake-style clay tile
Our team works closely with architects, builders, and property owners to ensure the finished roof complements the structure’s design and performs reliably for many years.

Storm damage to clay tile roofs can affect both the visible tiles and the roofing system beneath them. High winds, hail, and falling debris may loosen clay tile shingles, compromise flashing, or disturb the underlying waterproofing layers.
To address storm-related damage, clay tile roofing companies may perform a wide range of repairs. At Huber Roofing & Associates, our services include:
Replacement of damaged or missing clay tiles
Targeted repair of flashing and roof transitions
Restoration of sections affected by storm impact
Partial replacement when damage extends across larger areas

Clay tile roofing appears across many architectural styles where durability and visual character are equally important. The material complements complex rooflines and detailed architecture.
Clay tile roofing companies typically work on:
Spanish Colonial and Spanish Revival homes
Mediterranean villas and coastal estates
Mission Revival architecture
Italianate and Tuscan-inspired residences
French Provincial estates
For historic homes, clay tile roofing often serves as a defining architectural element rather than simply a roofing material. Matching tile profiles, preserving original layouts, and maintaining the roof’s visual consistency require specialized knowledge and careful craftsmanship.
Benefits of Clay Custom Tile Roofing
Clay tile roofing offers several advantages that contribute to its continued use on historic properties and high-end residential architecture.
The benefits of clay tile roofing include:
Longevity: Clay tiles can last up to 50 years or more, frequently outlasting many other roofing materials.
Weather Resistance: The material resists corrosion, fire, and deterioration caused by environmental factors.
Thermal Performance: Air circulation beneath the tiles helps regulate roof temperature and reduce heat transfer into the structure.
Unique Appearance: Clay tile patinates over time into muted, earthy tones, such as soft reds, greens, and browns.
Sustainability: Because the tiles are made from natural materials and can often be reused during restoration projects, clay tile roofing is considered an environmentally responsible material.
Clay Tile Roof Restoration and Historic Preservation
Clay tile roofs often remain structurally sound long after the roofing components beneath them begin to age. In these situations, restoration can extend the life of the roof while preserving its appearance.
Our tile roofing company may recommend restoration if a property owner’s priority is to:
Retain the original clay tiles
Maintain the roof’s layout
Restore waterproofing beneath aging tiles
Comply with historic restoration guidelines
