Replacing a tile roof is a rare occurrence in a homeowner’s life due to the longevity of real tile roofs, but we are always happy to help when the need arises. The replacement of this tile roof in Oak Brook was due to weather related damage, and the homeowner needed to get it done fast. That is where our expert tile installation crews came in.

We began by removing the existing concrete tile from the roof and installing a temporary roof using a high temperature synthetic roofing underlayment. Concrete roofing tile is much more fragile and has a shorter life expectancy than terra cotta, clay, tile due to the fact that concrete tile can absorb moisture with time. This is why the homeowner decided to install new Ludowici clay tile on their home in Oak Brook. Ludowici’s LudoSlate clay tile is a great light weight option for replacement of a concrete tile. LudoSlate offers superior durability, longevity, and a much more refined look that will last much longer than concrete tile would. After installing new copper flashings and trim pieces, our tile installation crew began installing the LudoSlate clay tile. Replacing the existing skylights with new Velux solar powered skylights and custom made Velux curb mounted skylights also helped bring sunlight into the home. New aluminum gutters and downspouts along with a RainDrop leaf guard system will also provide worry and clog free water drainage for this beautiful tile roof. The end result of this tile replacement in Oak Brook speaks for itself.
