Tile and Metal Roof Repair The Woodlands
The condition of your home’s roof has consequences for not only your home’s interior but also your home’s value and marketability. While water damage in your attic or inside your home can be a serious problem, it’s not the only consideration for most homeowners. Broken clay tiles or dented and chipping metal roof panels can be an eyesore for you and your neighbors.
Periodic maintenance, including sealing and coatings, is vital for keeping tile or metal roofing in top condition and maximizing roofing material longevity. At Perkins Roofing, we specialize in professional tile and metal roof repairs to restore your roof’s integrity and extend its lifespan.

Signs Your Roof Needs Repairs
Both tile and metal roofs are designed to be long-lasting, but over time, they can develop issues due to weather, aging or improper installation.
Signs a Tile Roof Needs Repairs
Cracked or broken tiles
Damage can occur due to impact from debris, hail or falling branches.
loose or missing tiles
Strong winds or improper installation may cause tiles to shift or fall off.
water leaks
Compromised underlayment or broken tiles can lead to interior leaks and water damage.
Moss or Algae Growth
Excessive moisture can cause algae buildup, which weakens tiles over time.
Signs metal Roofing Needs Repairs
Rust or Corrosion
If protective coatings wear off, exposure to moisture can cause rusting.
Loose or Missing Fasteners
Screws and fasteners may loosen over time, leading to leaks and instability.
Dents or Punctures
Hail, heavy debris or foot traffic on the roof can cause dents or punctures on thinner gauge panels.
Oil Canning (Visible Rippling)
Structural issues or poor installation may lead to visible distortions in metal panels.
Common Causes of Tile & Metal Roof Damage
Causes of Tile Roof Damage
Severe Weather – High winds, hail and heavy rain can weaken or displace tiles.
Aging Underlayment – The waterproofing layer beneath the tiles may degrade over time, leading to leaks.
Improper Installation – Incorrectly placed tiles can shift, causing gaps and exposure to the elements.
Foot Traffic – Walking on tile roofs without proper precautions can cause breakage.
Lack of Maintenance – Failing to replace cracked tiles or apply protective coatings can lead to water infiltration and premature deterioration.
Causes of Metal Roof Damage
Thermal Expansion and Contraction – Temperature fluctuations cause metal to expand and contract, which can loosen fasteners and create gaps.
Poor Ventilation – Excess heat or moisture buildup can accelerate corrosion.
Impact Damage – Falling branches, hail or debris can cause dents or punctures.
Incorrect Installation – Gaps between panels or improper fastening can lead to leaks and structural instability.
Failure to Maintain Protective Coatings – Metal roofs often rely on specialized coatings to prevent rust and UV damage. Without regular reapplication, the roof may corrode or degrade more quickly.

Preventative Maintenance Tips
Many homeowners in The Woodlands choose tile or metal roofing because these materials can last for 50 years or potentially longer when properly maintained. Unfortunately, failure to invest in maintenance can significantly shorten the material’s lifespan.
Scheduling regular inspections with a professional can help catch problems early before they escalate. The optimal frequency of sealing and protective coating applications does vary based on the roofing material.
- Clay tiles are unique in that they are naturally water resistant and don’t require sealing, although some homeowners still do invest in sealants for added protection.
- Concrete tiles
may need a new application every five to 10 years.
- Factory-coated metal roofing panels may benefit from recoating every 10 to 20 years, while uncoated metal may require more frequent coatings.
- Homeowners with
older metal roofs who invest in elastomeric or reflective coatings for enhanced energy efficiency may need reapplication every 10 to 15 years.
