Tile Roofing
Clay and concrete tile roofing repair and installation. Arizona's premier roofing material — built to outlast the desert. Licensed crew, free estimates, honest pricing.
Tile Roofing in Arizona
Clay and concrete tile is the dominant roofing material across the Phoenix Valley — and for good reason. Tile handles Arizona's extreme heat, reflects UV radiation, and lasts decades longer than asphalt shingles in the desert climate. Allstate Roofing has installed and repaired tile roofs across Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa, Phoenix, and the entire metro for over 20 years.
Whether you need a handful of cracked tiles replaced, a full ridge line re-bedded, or a complete tile roof installation, our licensed crew does the job right.
Individual Tile Replacement
Replace cracked, broken, or missing tiles. We match existing profiles including S-tile, flat concrete, mission, and barrel tile.
Ridge Cap Repair
Re-bed and re-point loose or failed mortar on ridge caps — the most common failure point on Arizona tile roofs.
Underlayment Replacement
Replace aged or failed underlayment beneath existing tiles. Critical when tile is in good shape but the water barrier below has deteriorated.
Flashing Repair
Re-flash chimneys, skylights, and pipe penetrations that are causing leaks under tile sections.
New Tile Installation
Full residential tile roof installation — clay or concrete, in profiles to match your home's architecture.
Tile Roof Inspection
Pre-sale, post-storm, or annual inspection. We identify every crack, slip, and flashing failure and give you a written report.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tile roofing last in Arizona?
Clay tile can last 50–100 years in Arizona's dry climate. Concrete tile typically lasts 30–50 years. The underlayment beneath the tiles usually needs replacement every 20–25 years regardless of tile condition. Arizona's low rainfall and UV intensity are actually favorable for tile longevity — the main threats are thermal cycling, foot traffic damage, and storm debris impact.
Can you replace just a few cracked tiles without a full roof replacement?
Yes, in most cases. Individual tile replacement is common and cost-effective in Arizona. As long as the underlayment is intact and the surrounding tiles are in good shape, replacing cracked or broken units is a straightforward repair. We stock common tile profiles and colors to match existing installations.
What causes tile roofs to crack in Arizona?
The main causes of tile cracking in Arizona are thermal cycling (extreme heat by day, cooler nights), hail impact, foot traffic from HVAC technicians or satellite installers, and structural movement in the decking. Tree limb impacts are less common but also occur. Regular inspections every 2-3 years help catch hairline cracks before they allow water penetration.
Do you match existing tile profiles when doing repairs?
We carry a wide range of common Arizona tile profiles — S-tile, flat concrete, mission, and barrel tile — and can often match the color and profile of existing tiles closely. For older or unusual profiles, we source matching tiles from roofing distributors. We show you the match before any work begins.
Is tile roofing worth the higher cost over shingles in Arizona?
For most Arizona homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term, tile is the better investment. It outlasts shingles by 2-3x, requires less maintenance over its life, handles heat better, and generally adds more curb appeal and resale value in the Valley market. If you're planning to sell within 5 years, shingles may be the more economical choice.
