Tile Roofing in Glenview, Illinois

Tile Roofing in Glenview means roofing built for the Illinois climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Illinois humidity and the severe storm remnants test every roof, and the tree debris covers the surface.

Signs Your Glenview Roof Needs Tile Roofing

• Cracked or broken tiles - the foot traffic or the debris has damaged the pieces
• Missing tiles - the wind has lifted the individual tiles
• Leaks at the flashings - the tile itself is not the problem, the underlayment or the flashing is
• Granules or debris in the gutters - the concrete tile is wearing
• Algae on the north slope - the humidity is feeding the growth

Why Glenview Roofs Need Tile Roofing

The lifespan is the main reason. The clay tile roof lasts 50-100 years. The home will not need another roof.

The heat reflection is the second reason. The tile reflects the sun and the attic stays cooler.

How We Do Tile Roofing in Glenview

1. Inspect the roof structure - the tile is heavy and the framing must support the weight
2. Install the underlayment - the double layer of the underlayment for the extra protection
3. Install the battens - the horizontal strips that support the tile
4. Lay the tile - the clay or the concrete tile in the staggered pattern
5. Flash the penetrations - the chimney, the vents, and the skylights

Preventing Problems in Glenview

• Inspect the roof after every storm - the wind can lift the tiles
• Check the underlayment when the tiles are damaged - the underlayment is the waterproof layer
• Walk on the tile only when necessary - the tile is brittle under the foot traffic
• Keep the gutters clean - the debris holds the moisture against the tile

The tile roof in Glenview is the classic choice for the climate. The clay tile reflects the heat and lasts 50 years. The investment in the tile pays for itself in the cooling costs and the longevity.
