Tile Roof Repair Contractor in Queens, NY
Tile roof repair contractor Foundry Roofing repairs clay, concrete and Spanish tile roofs across Queens. We reset slipped tiles, replace broken ones with a color and profile match, and stop the leak.
We work on single-family homes and townhouses through multi-family, co-op and commercial buildings.
Color & profile matched
Clay, concrete and Spanish tile, matched by type
Off-shade or off-profile replacements show from the street and leave gaps at the lap.
| Tile type | Clay | Concrete | Spanish / barrel |
|---|---|---|---|
| What breaks | Freeze-thaw cracks | Impact cracks, worn color | Slipped courses, split caps |
| How we match | Color and profile from salvage stock | Profile matched, color toned to weathered field | Same curve, taper and size |
| Usual repair | Replace | Replace or reset | Reset and re-bed |
If your tile is discontinued, we take matches from a hidden slope and set the new tiles there. If the roof proves to be slate, it needs a slate specialist's repair.
Replacing one tile and leaving its neighbors whole
The test of a tile roof repair contractor is whether the neighboring tiles survive the visit. We work off roof ladders and lift tiles, never pry them.
-
Support the course above
Wedges hold the overlapping tiles clear.
-
Remove the broken tile
We cut its nails or wire hooks and slide it out.
-
Check underneath
Torn underlayment or a soft batten gets fixed while the opening exists.
-
Set and re-seat
The matched tile is fastened and the course drops back into its lap.
Underlayment, flashing, ridge and hip
Tile roofs usually leak below or around the tiles. Underlayment wears through, flashing fails at walls, chimneys and valleys where two tiled slopes meet, and ridge and hip mortar cracks after freeze-thaw winters. After wind or storm damage, we document broken tiles for an insurance claim.
Our inspection finds the leaking layer before any tile comes off. Then we patch underlayment, rebuild flashing or re-bed ridge and hip tiles in fresh mortar.
Leak traced first
Tile roof repair, answered
Can tile roofs be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. We replace the broken tiles and repair the layer beneath, and the rest of the roof stays.
Can you match my existing tile?
Yes. We bring sample tiles to the roof and match color and profile against yours.
Can a roof tile be replaced from inside the attic?
Sometimes, on open battens. A proper fix and leak check is done from the roof.
Who repairs roof tiles on a co-op or apartment building?
We do, with scope and photos prepared for the co-op or condo board's sign-off.
