Ready to see if tile is right for your Overland home? Give us a call, tell us the street and roof pitch, and we will set up a free structural inspection and written quote inside a week. No pressure, just straight answers on cost and framing.
A tile roof stands out on an Overland block of post-war capes and ranches, and picking tile roofing for your Overland home is a real upgrade decision that deserves a straight answer up front, not a rehearsed sales pitch on the porch. The classic Overland footprint sits on 1x board decking from the 1940s and 1950s, which means we check whether your framing can carry the tile load before we ever quote the tear-off number. That is why Top Quality Exteriors starts every Overland tile project with a full structural walkthrough of the deck, ridge, and eave line first.
Clay and concrete tile can carry a 50-year service life, shed hail damage better than aged 3-tab, and give a Woodson Road or Lackland Road street front a look no vinyl-shingled neighbor down the block can match on a clear morning. On the older ranches around Wild Acres Park and the small streets near Lake Sherwood, we pair the tile discussion with a residential roofing plan that fixes the fascia, rebuilds the worn valleys, and squares your eave line before a single tile ever lands on the deck.
On a 60- or 70-year-old Overland cape, a tile install is not a shingle swap with fancier trim. Tile weighs 600 to 1,100 pounds per square, so before we touch the tear-off we pull the framing plan and check rafters, ridge board, and eave blocking against the tile load spec. If the board sheathing under your old cover is gapped or rotted at the eaves, which we see often on capes off Lackland Road, we sister the rafters, sheet over the planks with plywood, then run peel-and-stick underlayment and copper flashing at every valley. Only then does the batten grid get fastened down. Overland storm cells track southwest to northeast, so west-facing hips take the brunt of a hail run, and we spec S-tile or flat concrete tile rated to Class 4 impact so a spring storm does not push you into a claims cycle. If tile is out of budget after the framing math, we walk you to a slate roofing option or an architectural asphalt that still lifts the elevation on your block.
Every Overland tile job runs on the same five-step path, so nothing gets guessed at and you know what happens between the first knock at the door and the last tile locked into the ridge cap on your Overland home from start to finish.
We climb your Overland roof and take measurements, photos, and load notes on the deck. We check the rafters, ridge, and eave for tile weight. You get a written report same day.
We walk you through clay, concrete, S-tile, and flat profile choices for your street. We match color, weight, and Class 4 impact rating to your budget. Then we hand you a quote.
Crews strip off your old cover, dumpster on site, and tarps drop over your landscaping. We inspect the plank sheathing, sister rafters as needed, and sheet plywood over the deck.
Peel-and-stick underlayment goes down, copper valley flashing gets set, then battens map the tile grid. We hand-nail every course to spec and cap the ridge with mortar-bedded tile.
We hose the whole roof to check flashing, valleys, and ridge for any weeps. You get a full photo set, the manufacturer warranty paperwork, and our 36-month workmanship warranty.
Top Quality Exteriors was founded in 2022 with over 7 years of industry experience behind the crews, and a tile roof is where that bench really shows on the deck. Tile is not a job every north county roofer will actually take on for you. On the older housing off Woodson Road you are working with cape and ranch framing that predates modern load tables, and we bring the structural chops and the full roof replacement playbook to build the job right the first time out.
We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, licensed in Missouri and Illinois, carry general liability, and pay workers comp on every crew that climbs your Overland roof deck. Owner Mario A. Granados walks the tile jobs himself, and our 52-plus team keeps timelines honest to the calendar. You get a firm 36-month workmanship warranty, manufacturer coverage on the tile itself, and a real cell number to call from Mario at (314) 618-8888.
Tile roofing runs at the upper end of Overland’s roofing price spread because the material is heavy and the labor is a real skilled trade you cannot fake on the deck. A typical modest cape or ranch off Lackland Road lands well above an asphalt tear-off number, but you buy a 50-year cover instead of a 20-year one, and the Class 4 impact rating tends to trim your annual insurance premium down in the active north county hail corridor.
The line that really moves your quote is the decking work: 1940s and 1950s Overland homes often need rafter sistering and full plywood sheathing over the plank deck before a single tile ever lands. We flag any of that on the inspection so nothing gets sprung on you mid-job. Hearth and GreenSky financing is available for qualified Overland homeowners, and the free written estimate lays out every single material, labor line, and permit fee before you sign anything.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
