Clay and concrete tile roofing is built to last. When installed properly, these tiles can endure decades — even with California’s seismic activity and coastal weather.
We carefully assess each roof structure to ensure it’s properly reinforced to support the seismic load and weight of concrete and clay materials. The result: a beautiful, long-lasting roofing system tailored to your home.
Looking for something beyond concrete and clay? We also offer slate roofing tiles for homeowners seeking luxury aesthetics and unmatched longevity.
Our specialists can guide you through roofing materials — including slate, tile roofing, and other roof options — to find the perfect balance of performance, durability, and design.
The main difference lies in their materials and manufacturing process. Clay tiles are fired at high temperatures for strength and color permanence, while concrete tiles are molded from cement mixtures and coated for finish. Both deliver long-lasting protection with stunning visual appeal.
With proper maintenance, clay roof tiles can last over a century, while concrete roof tiles often last 50–70 years. Both materials outperform most roofing alternatives in durability and longevity, making them an excellent long-term investment for your home.
While clay tiles are beautiful and enduring, they can be more fragile than concrete tiles and may require extra care during installation. They also come with a higher cost, but their timeless style and extended lifespan make them a favorite among discerning homeowners.
These roofing materials are ideal for warm, dry, and coastal climates like the San Francisco Bay Area and Marin County. Their natural ability to resist heat, salt, and moisture makes them perfect for California homes.
