Findlay Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Findlay, OH for residential and commercial properties across Hancock County and northwest Ohio. Almost nobody in Hancock County has a tile roof, and most people who call about one do not want tile once they hear the whole answer. We keep this page honest rather than optimistic, because tile is the product we most often talk a Findlay homeowner out of.
Start with what is actually here. The handful of genuine clay and concrete tile roofs in this area sit on buildings that were designed for the weight from the beginning, mostly institutional and mostly downtown. The residential stock across the rest of the county was framed for asphalt and nothing heavier, and the difference in dead load between the two is not a detail anybody designs around cheaply.
That is the first honest obstacle. Tile weighs several times what a square of laminate shingle weighs, so putting it on a house framed for asphalt is a structural question well before it becomes a roofing question. It needs an engineer's answer rather than a roofer's opinion, and on a typical Findlay frame house, getting that answer and then acting on it will frequently outrun the cost of the roof.
Our freeze cycle is the second obstacle. Tile roofs depend on water shedding cleanly off the surface and back out of the laps between pieces. Through a northwest Ohio winter, water sits in those laps, freezes overnight, expands and cracks the tile from the inside out. The tile roofs people admire on holiday in warm climates are not a fair guide to how the identical product behaves in Hancock County.
What people usually want, once we get to the bottom of it, is the look. That is a much easier problem. Stone-coated steel and metal tile-profile panels give a barrel or shake appearance at a fraction of the weight, they carry no structural question at all, and they handle freeze-thaw the way metal does rather than the way ceramic does.
If you already own real tile, we repair it and we will not sell you off it. Cracked field tiles get swapped individually from stock kept for the purpose. The underlayment beneath is the component that actually gives out first, so when a tile roof starts leaking a couple of decades in, what it usually needs is that membrane replaced with the tile lifted, stacked and reset, rather than a new roof bought outright.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-nail high-wind fastening pattern, self-adhered ice and water shield, hot-air welded TPO seams, counter flashing let into a mortar joint, hidden gutter hangers on two-foot centers, curb-mounted skylight flashing kits — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Findlay and nearby communities including Fostoria, Bowling Green, Tiffin, Lima.

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 six-nail high-wind fastening pattern, self-adhered ice and water shield, hot-air welded TPO seams, counter flashing let into a mortar joint, 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 Findlay 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 Hancock County and northwest Ohio means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Findlay Chooses Findlay Roof Pros
- ✓We explain which office governs your building before quoting, because in Findlay a house and a fourplex answer to two different desks in two different counties.
- ✓The layer count goes in the quote. Somebody lifts a corner at the eave first, so the tear-off price is measured rather than assumed from a satellite image.
- ✓Every tear-off produces photographs of the bare deck before underlayment. On a house no inspector ever sees, that set of images replaces the inspection you never get.
- ✓Attic footprint measured and the required net free ventilating area run on the quote at published vent values, so you can check the arithmetic with a calculator.
