Tile Roofing in Rapid City, South Dakota

Tile Roofing in Rapid City means roofing built for the South Dakota climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The South Dakota heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your Rapid City 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 Rapid City 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 Rapid City

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 Rapid City

• 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
