Broken Spanish Tile Replacement

I want to start off like I always do, and that's by giving thanks to Scott Morrow of Scott Morrow Slate & Tile Roofing & Repairs of Atlanta Georgia.facebook provides us with the pictures of his work which brings this blog to life and helps to illustrate our topic.

I don't always mention how important it is to hire a experienced slate and tile contractor in each post, but I should. Today we are going to share with you some simple Spanish tile replacement.
Now Spanish tile is a very durable roofing system, but some times storms or wind can cause tree branches to fall and occasionally brake one from time to time.

So if it ever happens to you, make sure you hire a real slate and tile contractor or you will end up with a repair like this.

Now I know this is a different type of tile but it is a perfect example of hiring the wrong contractor. What has happened is the contractor they hired was not a slate and tile contractor, so he did not have the right material with him to replace the broken piece so he put part of an asphalt shingle in its place, at least he didn't put a bunch of tar all over it like most of them do.

Just like this one! So these home owners hired the wrong contractor to fix this broken piece of tile and this is what they got. The tar ended up failing and they had to have it fixed again. Money down the drain.
But the next contractor they hired was Scott Morrow Slate & Tile Roofing & Repairs. Scott pulled out the broken piece of tile.

Then he replaced the broken piece of tile with another piece of tile, he didn't use tar or a piece of a asphalt shingle. Fellow roofers take notes! And this is what it is suppose  to look like when it is done right the first time.

I just want to give you another example of how it is done right.

This is before. there are two broken pieces there that need to be changed that were most likely broken by a contractor who didn't know how to walk on a Spanish tile roof the right way.

And this is a picture of the two tiles properly removed.

And this is the finished product. NOTICE there is no tar! And just one more example before we go.

And finally the finished product. Again we want to thank Scott Morrow of Scott Morrow Slate & Tile roofing & Repairs of Atlanta Georgia For Providing pictures of his work to help with this blog.
