How to Repair a Tile Roof

 
Step 4   Step 5
 
     
Now slide your new tile into place so that it rests securely behind the underlying boards.   Remove the flat bars first the lower left one then the upper right.
 

Congratulations You're Done!

The roof here was nearly 20 years old so the surface was very weathered in contrast to the new tile. If you don't want the new tile to stand out like this then this is what you can do:

(1) Find an inconspicuous spot on the roof

(2) Use the previous steps to take out a matching weathered tile in good condition

(3) Replace the tile you just pulled out with the new tile

(4) Now you have a matching tile to place in the more visible location on your roof

 

 

The biggest problem with repairing a tile roof is that you can very easily crack more tiles by walking on the roof with the purpose of making repairs. So be careful!!

Though Practical Pressure is happy to provide this information for your convenience we must state that in view of the delicacy and danger of working on a tile roof we strongly recommend that you hire a professional to perform these kinds of repairs.
