Delaware Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Delaware, OH for residential and commercial properties across Delaware County and the Olentangy corridor. Tile is rare in central Ohio and that shapes the honest advice. The tile roofs here sit mostly on a handful of Mediterranean-styled houses built through the 2000s in Powell, Genoa Township and a few Delaware subdivisions, and almost none of them are failing the way their owners assume.
Concrete and clay tile do not wear out on a schedule. The underlayment beneath them does. When a tile roof of this age starts leaking, the tile is generally sound and the felt beneath it has gone brittle at the fastener holes. That makes the correct job a lift and relay: number the field, stack the tile, replace the underlayment and every piece of flashing, then put the same tile back.
That is cheaper than a new tile roof and considerably better than the thing people ask us for instead, which is to strip the tile off and shingle the house. We will quote it if you insist, and we will tell you first that it changes the street elevation permanently, that the framing was very likely sized for the load you are proposing to remove, and that you will not be getting the tile back.
Breakage is the honest variable in all of this. Some tile cracks during removal no matter how carefully it is handled, and older discontinued profiles cannot be matched at any price. So we quote a breakage allowance as its own line with a per-piece figure on it, source salvage before we source anything new, and show you the salvage on the ground before it goes up on the roof.
Walking a tile roof is where most tile damage in this county actually comes from. Satellite installers, gutter cleaners and the occasional roofer walk the field instead of the headlap and leave a trail of hairline cracks that leak two winters later. If your tile roof started leaking shortly after somebody was up there, that is not a coincidence and it is worth saying out loud.
Ridge and hip mortar is its own repair and it is frequently the only repair a roof needs. Repointing a ridge line is a small job carrying a small invoice, and we would much sooner sell you that than a whole roof you did not actually require this decade or the next one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D1970 ice barrier membrane, step flashing woven at sidewalls, counterflashing folded into a ground-in reglet, synthetic underlayment printed with fastener grids, ASTM D3161 Class F seal strips, H-clipped 7/16-inch OSB decking — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Delaware and nearby communities including Powell, Sunbury, Galena, Ashley.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ASTM D1970 ice barrier membrane, step flashing woven at sidewalls, counterflashing folded into a ground-in reglet, synthetic underlayment printed with fastener grids, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Delaware job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Delaware County and the Olentangy corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
