If your Spanish Revival or Mediterranean-style home in Olivette is showing cracked ridge mortar, slipped barrel tile, or aging underlayment, tile roofing st louis specialists at Top Quality Exteriors can help you protect it. Our crews work throughout the 63132 ZIP, from Oak Estates to Olivette Terrace, and we understand how decades of hail strikes and freeze-thaw cycles wear down clay and concrete tile systems on Mid County homes. Olivette sits in a known hail corridor, and tile is one of the most impact-resistant materials available.
Tile is one of the longest-lasting roofing materials on the market, but it demands installer expertise that most St. Louis contractors lack. We pull the Olivette building permit through the Department of Planning and Community Development, complete a structural assessment for mid-century ranches that may need decking reinforcement, and install with proper batten spacing, valley metal, ridge mortar, and hip tile detail. Our team also handles premium slate roofing in Olivette for comparable high-end Mid County projects.
Tile roofing is rare in Olivette, but it shines on the Spanish Revival and Mediterranean-style homes scattered through the city’s older neighborhoods near Tower Hill and Indian Meadows. Clay tile and concrete S-tile carry a Class 4 impact rating, which matters in a corridor that sees three to five significant hail events per year. After the May 2025 EF3 tornado tore through the Greater St. Louis area at 155 mph winds and damaged roughly 5,000 properties, many homeowners are rethinking material durability. A properly installed tile system can last 50 to 100 years, far outlasting the asphalt roofs common on Olivette’s 1940s through 1960s ranches. Weight is the catch: tile runs 600 to 1,100 pounds per square, so a structural assessment is non-negotiable on mid-century homes. We evaluate decking, rafters, and ridge beams before quoting any tile install, and we offer synthetic tile alternatives that deliver the Mediterranean look at a fraction of the weight.

Tile roofing is unforgiving. One mis-spaced batten or sloppy ridge mortar line, and a 75-year roof becomes a 15-year headache. Here is how we walk every Olivette tile project from the first call all the way to final city inspection signoff.
We start with a free, no-obligation roof inspection. Our team checks tile condition, ridge mortar integrity, valley metal, and underlayment. You get a written report the same day.
Next we assess your decking, rafters, and ridge beams. Tile weighs 600 to 1,100 pounds per square. Mid-century Olivette ranches sometimes need reinforcement before we install.
We pull your Olivette building permit and submit required plan sets. We coordinate batten layout, flashing details, and tile selection. You approve every spec before crews arrive.
Crews tear off old material, install new underlayment with ice and water shield, and set battens. Then we lay tile, mortar the ridge, and seal valleys with flashing in tight order.
We schedule the city inspection and walk the property with you. You see the ridge tile, hip lines, and eave closure up close. We hand over warranty paperwork and cleanup is total.
Tile installs are not a side gig. They require batten precision, valley metal experience, and ridge mortar work asphalt-only crews cannot replicate. Top Quality Exteriors is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, licensed in Missouri and Illinois, and carrying general liability and workers’ comp coverage. Owner Mario Granados brings over seven years of industry experience to every Olivette project, and our 52-member team has handled premium materials.
We pull the Olivette building permit and pass city inspection every time. The Department of Planning and Community Development requires it for any reroof, including decking work, and inspectors typically respond same day. Storm chasers who skip the permit step leave homeowners exposed to code violations and warranty gaps. Our 36-month workmanship warranty backs every tile install, and select premium products qualify for extended warranties up to lifetime coverage.
Tile roofing pricing in Olivette runs higher than asphalt, but it pays off in lifespan. Most clay tile projects on Olivette homes land between $25,000 and $45,000, with concrete tile slightly less and synthetic options bringing the floor closer to $18,000. Pricing factors include square footage, pitch, structural reinforcement, ridge detail, and whether your decking can carry the load. Spanish Revival homes often need custom hip tile work that adds labor.
Tile is a 50 to 100 year material, so the per-year cost over its life is often lower than asphalt that gets replaced twice in the same span. We offer Hearth and GreenSky financing for qualified Olivette homeowners. If your tile damage came from the May 2025 EF3 tornado or another covered storm event, your homeowners insurance may pick up the bulk of the cost, leaving only your deductible. Missouri policies typically allow 12 months to file a claim.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
