Tile Roofing in Olympia, WA

Olympia Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Olympia, WA for residential and commercial properties across Thurston County and the south Sound. We repair and maintain tile roofs in Olympia and we do not install new ones. That is a deliberate position and it is about this market rather than about the product, so it is worth explaining properly before you decide we are the wrong company for you.

Concrete and clay tile are excellent roofs where a trained tile bench exists. The system depends on the underlayment, the battens and the flashings rather than on the tile, and it needs installers who lay a proper anchor course, cut hips and valleys correctly, and understand that the tile is a rain screen rather than the waterproofing layer itself. Get that backwards and the roof leaks from its first winter.

That bench is thin here, because the money in Thurston County roofing sits in low-slope membrane on public and institutional buildings. Crews get very good at what they do weekly. Nobody in this county does tile weekly, and a roof installed by a crew learning the trade on your house is a roof you will be paying to correct in five years.

So if you already own tile, we are useful to you. We replace cracked and slipped field tiles, rebuild hip and ridge with the correct mortar or mechanical fixings, reflash chimneys and walls, and we lift and relay sections to replace failed underlayment, which is the repair that actually resets a tile roof's clock rather than the tile swap most people ask for. Underlayment is the part with a service life; the tile mostly does not wear out.

If you own tile and it is sound, the best advice we can give you is to spend nothing. Walk it once a year, keep the valleys clear of fir needles, and replace the broken pieces as you find them. A tile roof that is leaking at one chimney does not need a proposal, it needs one careful afternoon and a bag of correct fasteners.

And if you are choosing a new roof and tile is on the list because you liked one in California, we will steer you to standing seam metal or a heavy laminated asphalt and tell you why. Losing the sale is preferable to handing you a roof nobody within an hour of here can service properly, and we will put that recommendation in writing.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — quarter-inch-per-foot tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a drain-point layout, edge metal carrying an ANSI/SPRI ES-1 test rating with fastening to match, hot-air-welded thermoplastic seams probed by hand with a dull hook, two-inch core cuts patched and logged against a numbered roof plan, 24-gauge Kynar 500 standing seam on floating expansion clips, six-nail fastening set inside the manufacturer's published nail zone — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Olympia and nearby communities including Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, Tenino.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing

The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with quarter-inch-per-foot tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a drain-point layout, edge metal carrying an ANSI/SPRI ES-1 test rating with fastening to match, hot-air-welded thermoplastic seams probed by hand with a dull hook, two-inch core cuts patched and logged against a numbered roof plan, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.

Every Olympia job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Thurston County and the south Sound means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Where we do tile roofing outside Olympia

Olympia Roof Pros covers Olympia and the surrounding communities of Thurston County and the south Sound. Crews run out to the same nearby cities every week, so an out-of-town job does not mean an out-of-town price.

Why Olympia Chooses Olympia Roof Pros

  • We quote your summer date and your November date side by side, because in a capital city the dry weeks are sold against a public bid calendar and the gap between those two prices is real money you should get to decide about.
  • Every scope carries unit prices for sheathing, blocking, fascia and flashing before the tear-off starts, the way a public change order has to be written, so nothing on your job gets renegotiated from the top of a ladder.
  • We will tell you that nobody owes you prevailing wage on a private house. If a bid quotes the published Thurston County rate at you as a justification, that is a public works number being used as a sales line.
  • We do not install new concrete or clay tile in this market. The bench that can flash and maintain it properly is thin here, and we would sooner turn the work down than leave you with a roof nobody local will service.

The standards behind tile roofing

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Olympia follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.

Every tile roofing project in Olympia gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.

Tile Roofing in Olympia: Common Questions

How much does tile roofing cost in Olympia, WA?

It comes down to square footage, access, the condition of what is already there, and the materials you choose — quarter-inch-per-foot tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a drain-point layout, edge metal carrying an ANSI/SPRI ES-1 test rating with fastening to match, hot-air-welded thermoplastic seams probed by hand with a dull hook.

We do not price a job off a phone call and a guess. We measure on site and hand you an itemized free estimate with the scope written out, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's number.

How long does a tile roofing job take?

Most residential tile roofing work in Olympia runs from a single day to about a week once materials are on site. Larger commercial jobs get phased so the property keeps operating. Weather, permit review and material lead times are the usual reasons a date moves, and you hear about those from us before the crew starts, not after.

Do you pull permits and handle inspections in Olympia?

Yes, on any work that needs one. We file with the Olympia building department, schedule the inspection and stay on site for it. Skipping a permit is how property owners end up paying twice — once for the work, and again when it fails at resale or an insurance claim.

Is Olympia Roof Pros licensed and insured?

A Washington contractor registration held in the general class rather than the specialty class, filed with the state's Department of Labor and Industries. That is a registration rather than an examination, so no roofing test sits behind it.

Since 1 July 2024 the general class has had to file a $30,000 surety bond under RCW 18.27.040, where a single-trade specialty registration files $15,000, and we hold the general class because our re-roof scopes routinely include deck carpentry, sheet metal fabrication and glazing rather than roof covering alone.

Look the number up on the Labor and Industries Verify tool before you sign anything, because the bond amount, the renewal date and any claims filed against it all sit on that one public page..

Property damage and public liability limits many times the registration minimum written into RCW 18.27.050, which is only $50,000 for property, $100,000 for one injured person and $200,000 where more than one person is hurt, together with Washington workers' compensation through Labor and Industries.

Understand what a bond is not: the $30,000 is shared among every claimant against it, which is why a public owner instead receives a payment bond for the full contract amount under chapter 39.08 RCW and holds retainage under chapter 60.28 RCW. A homeowner gets neither, so the written scope matters more than the certificate does..

Member of Olympia Master Builders, the regional building industry association headquartered on State Avenue here in town, and trained to the bidder responsibility standard set by RCW 39.04.350, which obliges anyone bidding public works to have sat prevailing wage instruction from Labor and Industries..

Every tile roofing job carries a workmanship warranty in writing, stating the term, the transfer rules and every exclusion on one page. Ask any contractor for those four things in writing before you sign — the ones who hesitate are telling you something.

Do you take commercial roofing work as well as residential?

Both. Olympia Roof Pros runs residential tile roofing across Olympia neighborhoods and commercial work for offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA properties throughout Thurston County and the south Sound. Commercial jobs get phased scheduling and off-hours crews so tenants and customers are not shut out while the work happens.
