Tile Roof Cost

What Tile Roof Work Costs in Baton Rouge

Most tile roof calls we get are not about the tile at all, they are about the underlayment underneath it. That distinction is the single biggest factor in what you pay. The bands below are typical, not a quote: your written price comes from the free inspection.

Tile repair

$450 - $1,500

Cracked or slipped tiles replaced, a pipe boot or vent reflashed, a small section of underlayment patched, ridge or hip tiles rebedded.

Usually one day, often a half day.

Section underlayment renewal

$1,500 - $6,000

Tile lifted and stacked on one slope, old underlayment stripped, new membrane installed, then the original tile reset with replacements for what broke.

Typically 2 to 4 days.

Full tile roof replacement

Quoted after inspection

Whole-roof underlayment renewal or a new tile system, including battens, flashing, valleys, and ridge details.

Typically 1 to 2 weeks depending on roof size.

What changes the price

  • Whether your tile line is still made, and how well replacements match
  • How much of the underlayment has failed versus how much is sound
  • Concrete versus clay tile, and the weight the structure carries
  • Roof pitch and how safely tile can be walked and staged
  • Condition of the flashing, valleys, and ridge mortar
  • How many tiles are already cracked before work starts

Timeline

How a Tile Roof Job Runs

Tile work is slower than shingle work because every tile is handled twice: once coming off, once going back on. Here is what that looks like day to day.

  1. 01

    Day 1

    Free inspection

    We walk the roof carefully, photograph cracked and slipped tiles, then check the underlayment condition and the flashing details where leaks actually start.

  2. 02

    Day 1 to 2

    Diagnosis and written scope

    You get a straight answer on whether this is a tile problem or an underlayment problem, with photos behind each line item and a price.

  3. 03

    Work day 1

    Tile lifted and stacked

    Tile is removed by hand and stacked on the roof or on the ground so it can be reused. Sound tile is protected; anything already cracked is set aside for replacement.

  4. 04

    Work days 2 to 4

    Underlayment and flashing

    Old membrane is stripped, the deck is inspected and repaired, new underlayment goes down, and valley, wall, and penetration flashing is rebuilt.

  5. 05

    Reset

    Tile reinstalled and matched

    Original tile goes back on in pattern, with color-matched replacements for broken pieces, and ridge and hip tiles are rebedded.

  6. 06

    Final day

    Water test and walkthrough

    We water-test the repaired areas, clean up broken tile and debris, and hand off your 5-year workmanship warranty with finished photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tile Roofing, Common Questions

Why is my tile roof leaking when the tiles look fine?

On a tile roof the tile is the outer shell, and the underlayment beneath it is what actually keeps water out. When that underlayment dries out and fails, you get leaks even though the tile above looks perfect. We check both during the inspection.

Can you replace just a few cracked tiles?

Yes. Individual slipped or cracked tiles can be swapped out, and we match profile and color as closely as the tile line allows. We only recommend larger work when the underlayment or flashing underneath is the real problem.

How long does a tile roof last?

The tile itself can last for decades, but the underlayment, flashing, and fasteners underneath wear out sooner. Most tile roof work we do in Baton Rouge is renewing those layers rather than replacing the tile.

Will walking on my tile roof break more tiles?

Tile has to be walked carefully, in specific spots, with the right staging. Our crew is trained on that. If a sound tile breaks during our work, we replace it.

How do you document tile roof storm damage?

We photograph every cracked, slipped, and impacted tile up close, note the underlayment condition, and put it in a dated written report with an itemized scope and price. Coverage questions belong with your insurer, but the documentation is yours to use however you need.

Do you offer a warranty on tile roof work?

Yes. Tile roof repairs and replacements we perform carry a 5-year workmanship warranty, plus any applicable manufacturer material warranty.
