Concrete Tile Roof Installation by ARCM Roofing
Tile longevity and Class 4 protection at the category's most accessible price — barrel, flat, and shake-look profiles cast to last half a century.
5 Highlights on Concrete Tile Installation
Tile's Value Tier, Engineered Like Its Premium One
Every look clay and slate offer, cast in concrete at a fraction of the cost — with the same structural rigor underneath.
50-Year to Lifetime Warranties
Cured concrete tile doesn't rot, burn, or shed granules — manufacturers back it for half a century minimum.
Class 4 Impact Ratings
Quality concrete profiles carry the highest hail classification, and cracked tiles swap individually rather than triggering slope repairs.
Barrel, Flat, and Shake-Look Profiles
Concrete casts into every silhouette: Mediterranean S-curves, crisp modern flats, and textured wood-shake impressions.
Color-Through Options
Choose slurry-coated finishes for vivid tones or color-through tiles whose pigment runs the full thickness and weathers evenly for decades.
Structural Verification First
At 600 to 1,100 pounds per square, concrete demands load math. We verify rafters and spans before quoting — lightweight profiles serve homes that need them.
Clay looks. Slate lifespan territory. Concrete price.
Why Choose Us
Cast Right, Laid Right
Concrete tile rewards precision. Our crews train to Tile Roofing Institute installation standards — batten spacing matched to the profile, fastening schedules for the wind zone, and headlap that keeps wind-driven rain on top of the tile where it belongs.
The underlayment gets premium treatment because it's the component that determines the roof's real service life: self-adhering high-temperature membranes, doubled at hips and valleys, on every installation.
We stock replacement tiles from the lines we install, walk concrete with foam pads and overlap-stepping, and back the work with our 10-year workmanship warranty alongside the manufacturer's 50-year-to-lifetime coverage.
Slurry-coated or color-through? We bring physical samples weathered and new, so you see how each option ages.
When It Makes Sense
Signs Concrete Tile Is the Right Choice
You Want Tile Without the Clay Price
Concrete delivers the barrel profiles, the 50-year lifespan, and the Class A fire rating at a substantially lower material cost than kiln-fired clay. For most budgets, it's the widest path into tile ownership.
Hail Keeps Winning Against Your Shingles
Class 4 concrete profiles take Front Range hail that bruises and strips asphalt. When severe hail does crack a tile, the fix is a tile swap — and the underlayment keeps your deck dry in the meantime.
Your Asphalt Roof Is on Its Second or Third Cycle
Every 15-to-20-year asphalt replacement costs money, disruption, and landfill volume. One concrete tile installation replaces the next two or three reroofs you'd otherwise buy.
Wildfire-Zone Address
Cured concrete is noncombustible with a Class A rating. Along Colorado's wildland-urban interface, an ember-proof roof is protection carriers increasingly price into premiums.
Summer Cooling Costs Keep Climbing
The air channel beneath tile courses vents heat before it reaches your deck. Combined with concrete's thermal mass, attics run cooler and AC bills drop through Colorado summers.

How We Work
Our Concrete Tile Installation Process
01
Structural Evaluation
We measure rafters, check spans against load tables, and confirm the framing carries concrete safely — or scope reinforcement first.
02
Profile and Color Selection
Barrel, flat, or shake-look; slurry-coated or color-through. Physical samples at your home, in your light.
03
Tear-Off and Deck Prep
Old roofing stripped, sheathing repaired, deck cleaned and re-nailed to code.
04
Underlayment and Battens
High-temperature self-adhering membrane, doubled at hips and valleys, with batten grids set to the tile's exact course layout.
05
Tile Installation and Flashing
Courses laid to headlap spec, fastened per schedule, with matching metal at every valley, sidewall, and penetration.
06
Ridge, Hip, and Final Walk
Ridge and hip tiles set, weep paths preserved, every course inspected, warranty registered with you present.
Most concrete tile installations complete in five to ten days.

FAQs
FAQs About Concrete Tile Installation
›What is concrete tile roof installation?
Concrete tile roof installation is the process of laying interlocking or overlapping concrete tiles over a structurally verified deck, premium underlayment, and batten system. Each tile fastens mechanically to resist wind while the assembly sheds water to the underlayment below.
›How long does a concrete tile roof last?
Fifty years or more with proper installation. Manufacturers back their tiles with 50-year to limited-lifetime warranties, and the underlayment typically needs renewal once at midlife.
›How much does concrete tile installation cost?
Concrete tile runs well below clay and slate while delivering similar longevity, which makes it tile's value tier. Final pricing depends on profile, roof complexity, and structural work. We provide free itemized estimates.
›Can my house support concrete tile?
Concrete tile weighs 600 to 1,100 pounds per square. Many homes carry it without modification, and we verify with a structural evaluation first. Lightweight concrete profiles serve homes that need reduced load.
›Does hail damage concrete tile?
Quality concrete tile carries Class 3 and Class 4 impact ratings. Severe hail can crack individual tiles, but repairs mean swapping tiles, not replacing slopes, and the underlayment keeps the deck dry meanwhile.
›Does concrete tile fade?
Surface pigments soften slightly over decades, and color-through tiles keep their tone as they weather. We walk you through slurry-coated versus color-through options during selection.
›Does ARCM Roofing warranty concrete tile installation?
Yes. Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers the installation, and manufacturer warranties on the tile run 50 years to limited lifetime.
