Bloomington Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Bloomington, IL for residential and commercial properties across McLean County. We will not sell you a new tile roof in central Illinois. We maintain the ones already here, and there are some fine old ones, but specifying clay or concrete tile for a new roof in this climate is a decision we are not willing to take your money for.
Three reasons, and none of them are about our convenience. Freeze-thaw is the first: water gets into a hairline crack or a porous body, freezes, and splits the tile, and this county delivers that cycle dozens of times a winter. Weight is the second — tile is dramatically heavier than asphalt, and framing designed for shingles will not simply accept it without structural review, which in either of our two municipalities means a permit path with engineering attached.
If you have inherited a tile roof, that is a different conversation and a much better one. These roofs can run a very long time, and the tile is usually not what fails. The underlayment beneath it is, because tile sheds the bulk of the water while the membrane below takes whatever gets through, and that membrane perishes first.
So the real service on an existing tile roof is the relay. Tiles come off in order and are stacked and labeled, the deck is inspected and repaired, a new high-temperature underlayment goes down, and the original tiles go back with breakage replaced from salvage. You keep the roof you own and reset the clock on the part that actually wears out.
Day to day, the work is smaller. Cracked or slipped individual tiles replaced, ridge and hip bedding repointed where the mortar has failed, valley metal renewed, and flashing at chimneys rebuilt. Walking a tile roof breaks tile if you do not know where the batten and the load path are, which is the main reason we would rather you called us than went up there yourself.
If someone has quoted you new tile on a house in this market, ask them to put the structural review, the framing capacity and the ten-year replacement-tile source in writing. Supply is the quiet third problem: there is no local tile trade here to speak of, so a cracked field tile ten years from now becomes a sourcing exercise rather than a phone call. The question usually ends the conversation, and it should.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, laminated architectural shingles over a synthetic underlayment field, baffled ridge vent sized to the soffit intake, step flashing woven course by course, counterflashing let into a cut mortar joint, six-nail high-wind fastening pattern — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Bloomington and nearby communities including Normal, Pontiac, Clinton, Eureka.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, laminated architectural shingles over a synthetic underlayment field, baffled ridge vent sized to the soffit intake, step flashing woven course by course, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Bloomington job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in McLean County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

The standards behind tile roofing

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
