Where to get specialized tile?

Question

I need some tiles to replace on my roof. They type of tile, I'm told is Santa Rosa tile and is made from a reddish orange color clay, does anyone know where to get this type of tile in central California?

Answer 1

Tile roofs are far more common in your part of the country than they are in mine. Your best bet is to look for roofing supply businesses in your local yellow pages. If it turns out to be impossible to get the exact same tile, a substitute can always be found. If the tiles you need replaced are on a highly visible part of the house, consider removing tiles from another part of the house to make the repair match, and use the new tiles in the less visible area.

Good luck with your repair.

Answer 2

Start by calling all of the roofing contractors in your local phone book and asking for them to come over and give you a free bid to match the existing tile ,if the roofing contractors know that they are competing for the job or sell of tile they are more likly to keep the price fair..
