Have a Clay Tile, Slate, Copper, or Steel Roof?
Some roofs are simple to replace. Others need a contractor who understands the material already protecting the home.
Clay tile, slate, copper, and steel roofs each have their own requirements. They age differently. They fail differently. They are repaired differently. And when something goes wrong, the answer is not to treat them like a standard asphalt shingle roof.
Clay tile brings warmth and character, especially on Mediterranean, Spanish, and Texas Hill Country-style homes. Slate has a natural, elegant look that makes a roof feel timeless. Copper adds a striking architectural detail that develops a unique patina over time. Steel roofing offers a clean, durable option for homes that need strength with a sharper modern profile.
These materials are often found on custom homes, luxury properties, historic-style homes, and houses where the roof is integral to the architecture.
At Zooby, we do a lot of premium asphalt shingle roofing, but we also help with specialty roof projects involving clay tile, slate, copper, and steel. If your home already has one of these roofing systems, or needs one, we can inspect it, explain what we find, and help you understand your repair or replacement options.
We will review the material, structure, age of the roof and condition of the surrounding details before recommending a path forward.
