Something we run across on a fairly regular basis is loose trim or rake tiles at the gable areas on tile roofs. This not only can leave the structure exposed to weather damage but also creates a potentially dangerous condition. These tile weigh approximately 10 lbs. each, and when falling from a roof will almost certainly cause substantial damage to whatever they happen to strike when they land. This is a case where a tile roof repair is needed.
The condition is usually created by a fundamental design flaw in which the barge rafter is set approximately two inches too low, causing the nails that are supposed to secure the trim tiles to barely catch the top of the barge rafter, or miss it completely.
The result is usually missing and broken tiles, dry rot at the roof edge, and sometimes damaged property.
At Ron Williams Roof Doctor we have a permanent solution to this condition, so if you have loose trim tiles give us a call or visit http://www.roofdoctor1.com and order a roof inspection or get a free estimate for a tile roof repair.
