Exceptional Tile Roofs by Geo Roofing
One of the most common choices for protection against the elements for homes and businesses is tile roofing. When it comes to longevity and resilience, nothing can top that of tile.
While there are many styles and a wide variety of colors to choose from, two of the more popular options are clay and concrete tile roofing. These materials provide a certain beauty that other roofing materials cannot.
At Geo Roofing, our professionals have the expertise to install and waterproof your tile roof in Phoenix and the surrounding areas.
Creating a Waterproof Roofing System
Waterproofing for a tile roof is typically reliant on the installation of felt underlayment and metal flashing. However, we promote the use of modified rubber underlayments that will not dry out and crack as quickly as asphalt paper felts tend to. The extreme temperatures of the Arizona sun bake and dry out the asphalt in the felt.
This, in turn, causes the paper to crack and eventually results in a leak. By using modified rubber underlayments and installing the appropriate metal flashing, your roof will stand the test of time and the intense Phoenix heat.

Architectural Styles
Barrel Tiles: A rounded, semi-cylindrical tile that offers a classic look and feel but tends to be the most expensive option.
Flat Tiles: Able to adapt to nearly any architectural, and are the most common type of concrete roofing tiles.
French Tiles: A low profile, interlocking design that has indents (or flutes) to shed water more effectively.
Interlocking Tiles: As a budget-friendly option, these tiles interlock at side joints, allowing pros to install them quickly.
Mission/Double Roman Tiles: A system that uses alternating concave and convex barrels to create a Mediterranean look.
Spanish Tiles: These tiles have a wave-like pattern that makes them extremely effective in areas that get heavy rain.
Slate Roofing
What is slate roofing? Well, slate roofing is exactly what it sounds like roofing tiles made of slate. Slate is a type of rock that is made up of clay or volcanic ash. If you want a tile roof that is long-lasting, environmentally friendly, and aesthetically pleasing, look no further! Using this material for roofing provides a certain peace of mind that is not as easily achievable with wood or asphalt shingles, like low maintenance and added home value, as well as resistance to ice, fire, and mold. You would be hard-pressed to find a better roofing material than slate.
