With clay, the color runs through the tile rather than sitting on it as a coating, so a clay roof in Wylie looks the same in year forty as it did in year four. Clay is lighter than concrete tile but more brittle, costs more, and rewards installers who handle it carefully. On architecture designed for it, no other material looks right. You get a free written estimate and an inspection documented with photos. We will not waive a deductible, as Texas law bars that, and we are not a public adjuster.
Which Wylie homes are right for clay tile
Clay tile is a selective choice in Wylie. With a median build year of 2006 and 59 percent of homes built from 1980 through 2009, much of the city was framed for shingles, and adding tile weight calls for a structural check before anything else. On homes designed for tile, clay repays that attention, and an aging clay roof can often be lifted and relaid on new underlayment rather than replaced. Hail is the risk to plan around: brittle tile can crack under big stones, and this part of Collin County has recorded 10 days of golf-ball-size hail or larger within 6 miles since 2006. That is why post-storm checks here include the attic side, not just the surface. The same crews look after clay roofs in Lucas and Murphy.
