Amazing video on how to install roof tiles in south florida! spectacular workmanship and outstanding attention to detail.

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

We appreciate the positive feedback on our roof tile install in the Bal Harbour / Miami Beach area, quality is very important when installing roof tiles to make sure they are all in a straight line and cuts are made nicely in the tiles.

You're very welcome! Our first goal is always to educate, especially because our South Florida market is generally the industry leader and trend setter for the rest of Florida first, then the rest of the storm impacted coastal areas.

No problem, check out most of my other videos. I have many where I break down HVHZ vs. Florida Building Code and show how we install different types of roofing systems here.

[@underconstructionJAM]

Excellent video. Quite informative. We are currently building our home in Jamaica and our community requires the use of a specific clay tile...I am trying to learn as much as I can about it before the installation happens. I've heard so many bad things about clay tiles...I have no clue about the process...but we are hoping our roofer does an excellent job.

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Thank you, clay tiles are great when installed correctly. Jamaica, being in the island should have a code close to the Miami-Dade HVHZ code. The unfortunate thing with clay tiles is during tropical storms / hurricanes, they may break easily - just make sure trees are not too close to the house and you should be okay.

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Thank you! Florida Building Code calls for them to be foamed, only the rake tiles are nailed on and mortared. Pull likely depends on the size and quality of the fastener. ICP makes some good foam though.

What's the mitigation or engineering controls for all the clay dust, especially when you have a newly painted white house at the adjoining property. Your installers did a fantastic job!

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

There are none. If the installers tried to cut all of the tiles on the ground in a contained environment the project would take triple the time and would then cost at least double the money.

[@pzcx0p163]

Thank you for such an instructional video. Could you explain the difference to me between a foam like Tile Bond vs. Polyfoam? Is one single component and the other a two part foam? Which one is best to use? Thank you!!!

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

The both come in smaller one-part canisters, but it's more expensive per SF to install that way. Good for repairs. Polyfoam gets a getter pull than Tile Bond from our experience, though Tile Bond is slightly cheaper. We use Polyfoam since it's better, even though it is more expensive.

[@handaccrosstheworld]

Great video. What kind of foam and underlayment do you use? I am concerned that the product will fall off. between plywood and underlayment. Thank you!

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Thank you Tom! Foam: Polyset AH-160 Underlayment (Primary): Polyglass TU Plus (80 mil)... white SA asphaltic Underlayment (Secondary): Polyglass MTS Plus (60 mil)... green SA asphaltic The underlayments when properly installed are backnailed at the overlap. The SA has a superior uplift to mechanically fastened #30 or synthetics even when installed directly to the deck. It's great technology. Please let me know if we can be any assistance in the greater South Florida area for anything roofing or waterproofing!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

6:45 can the parts be glued together and tile not be wasted ?!?

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

Tim, there is a video where in Miami a HUGE colony of bats got established under the S-tile (or barrel tile ?) roof. Was it because the holes in the eaves were too large ?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Haha, I saw that video. That's a double roll tile. Those tiles were mortar set (like in our Fisher Island project), which means the eaves were likely mortared in, rather than installed with clay or metal. They don't show in the video. It's possible since they were custom installed with mortar, either the mortar cracked out in areas and the bats got in - or the weep holes were formed to large by the tile installer. Many possibilities, or there were broken tiles the bats found shelter in - hard to say.

[@josephbohme7917]

so do these hard tiles fly up and away with the annual hurricanes since you do not nail Foam is stronger?. What keeps the bats from nesting in all the spaces under rake tiles?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Yes, foam has a higher pull rating than fasteners. The rakes should be cemented in to avoid anything from nesting in there. The rake tiles are still fastened.

[@stevedisbrow8236]

We're in the Daytona Beach area. Is it BETTER to use the foam for adhesion vs nailing? I've not seen this before. Many installers are still using nails..

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Much better, contractors will use fasteners because they are significantly less expensive... generally a good rule of thumb is the less holes in your roofing membrane, the better.

[@onjofilms]

I have tile roof here in Venice Fl, and the valleys spill out onto another roof slope (same slope, but different direction). They didn't allow for that valley water to channel out onto the next slope, and it goes under the sloped tiles and collect at the bird stops and rotted the roof out. I will check your other vids to see if you show how to do that correctly, but if not, it would be nice if you can show how to do that. Thanks.

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Sounds like an architectural issue, however what we do in these areas is put a double barrier and if it's not visible we put a cap sheet. Feel free to email us a photos and we will see if we can help out. [e-mail].

[@onjofilms]

I found the name of what is missing, 'skirt flashing'. As the roof returns back under the valley, the skirt flashing should spill the rain onto the top of the tile on the return. It is missing. Thanks

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

Great job! Looks high quality job! But working in the roof looks dangerous! Don't you guys ever wear safety harnesses for protection against falls? Would OSHA stop you if they see you guys working on the without any PPE? Anyway, great job and stay safe!!

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Yes, we wear harnesses when necessary. This was a 3/12 roof, one story and we had a full time Project Manager with OSHA certification on-site as safety manager. Check out our shingle roof videos if you want to see some of our work with PPE on at the edge of a three story townhouse, or our videos up on Fisher Island.

[@fathikhaled6634]

[@adammiller4786]

First thing you said that is incorrect was the “weep holes” those are meant for airflow. If you top flash your tile roof correctly you will never have water under your tile.

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Concrete and clay absorb moisture. Teaching basics for home owners, it's easier to understand the point is to vent out moisture.

[@NUMENOREAN91]

Just use the traditonal clay premade birdstops

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

They cost more, it's an option though. We have a barrel tile project getting started this week with them.

[@josephhervieux7374]

Very impressive skilled installation. What is the price per square foot for this type of tile installed?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

This can depend on the slope, height and cuts, but generally around $10.50 - $11.50 per SF for concrete tiles and $2-$3 more for the clay tiles, depending on the exact tile and color.

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

Do u still use PolyGlass brand ? Di u ever use 30 lb tar paper with hot mopping ? How do they compare with each other ?

[@deposito144]

In the valleys the water goes underneath the tiles?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Moreso in between the tiles. If the valleys are cut well the membrane won't be exposed in a closed valley system.

[@josephbohme7917]

My valley tiles in Central CA are crap becasue of all the loose unattaches tile cuts. they wander on their own and trap debris. A miserable fail and leaves get stuck and never wash out, the then water spreads beyond the valley metal. It was done in 92, may last another 20, but lots of install errors. They never used mortar. A rolled terra cotta rubber over the ridges and under the barrels which were never nailed or foamed.

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Yeah, many installers tend to skip striking lines, because it's time consuming - but you get a much cleaner install that way. A lot of bad roofing is out there haha. 1992 - 2023 is a good roof though, can't complain too much. Here in South Florida the rain, wind and sun don't let roofs last past 25-30 years.

[@coyyotecoyyote7757]

What are the measurements to mark the lines of that tile?

[@TimKanak]

You use the actual tiles as a guide for striking the lines.

[@israelrosenzweig7338]

After installing the tile on the eave closure metal, I’m using copper metal, do you seal the space between the copper and the tile or leave it as is. I’m concerned about insects getting in under the tile if I don’t use joint and termination sealant to cover the space between the tile and the copper edge?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

If you have copper drip edge, generally you have mortar or clay eave closures. I have never seen copper eave closure metal before and I'm sure it would have to be custom made if you do have copper eave closure metal. Most eave closure metals are made in painted galvanized steel and or aluminum. If either of these metals are touching a copper drip edge, it will cause electrolysis and the copper drip metal will rust out.

[@israelrosenzweig7338]

I’m using Santa Fe ceramic tile and purchased the copper eaves enclosure specifically for this tile profile and they fit perfectly. What if anything do you use to seal the space between the eave closure and the curved part of the tile? Thank so much for replying to my questions 😆😉😎

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

@@israelrosenzweig7338 Nothing, just leave it be. The eave closure has holes on it anyway for moisture to get out.

[@thevictim2072]

Is the foam used high density roof foam and how much foam per square for a barrel tile roof?

[@JB-ej8zy]

What happens if the inspector doesn't pass say one or two areas in regards to the tiles being glued down correctly ? I ask because im a roofer in arizona and everything here is just nailed.

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

We have to re-do those tiles. We need an engineer's certified uplift inspection on all tiles, they test the areas and any bad areas we re-do before we call for final inspection. We also have to do an in-progress inspection on tiles for them to see the install of about 1-2 squares before we can continue.

a very different way of laying roof tiles compared to here in Belgium LOL is this way of laying tiles typical for dry climates such as florida? or is this method also used in wetter climates? and how do you apply this method if you have a very steep roof? nice video

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Thank you, Florida is a very wet climate, especially in south Florida. We are basically in the Caribbean and this roof is only across the street from the Atlantic Ocean. We get hit with many hurricanes, so we have the most stringent building code in the United States in South Florida. This is the method for all of Florida though, but in other parts of the country they can nail tiles on rather than using foam. I've even heard of people in other parts of the country loose laying them haha. On a steeper roof (more than 6/12) we would use 1x2 battens to nail the tiles in. Most residential roofs in South Florida are 3/12 - 5/12 however.

[@bandeano3870]

@@perkinsroofingcorp oops my mistake. I thought it was a dry climate there because I didn't see a gutter.

Clay tiles absorb less water, so this is less likely to happen. Wet and Forget a couple times a year is your best bet, but you have to go up on the roof to spray it on - or call us and we will do it for you and replace any tiles that get broken walking on the roof.

Do you put metal in those valleys?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Yes, must be done (w/ valley metal) - per FL Building Code. However, I've seen it not done.

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

Who is ordering the tiles, you or the client per your specifications ?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

We order the tiles and they are included within our pricing. If the client desires and upgraded clay tile or premium color, we get this priced out and make the order. I had an engineer client about two years ago tell me he wanted to order the tiles himself to save money, but I told him to let me see what I could do and my pricing was significantly cheaper even with my pass-through costs added in because I have great relationships with my distributors, we are the number one purchaser through our preferred distributor in Miami, which means we are likely to get the best pricing.

[@johnrobang]

i have a similar roof in cape coral. Ian took off about 60 hip caps I'm thinking that 20 years later the glue was not holding. Your job really depends on the glue. How long does it last?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

There is no telling, it depends on what adhesive was used, who installed it (did they make the paddy size large enough? Did the roof pass updated wind load calculations via an engineer who correctly performed a tile uplift test?) There are two brands of tile adhesive in South Florida. ICP (made by 3M) and Tile Bond. ICP is much better and is a 2-part adhesive vs. the 1-part Tile Bond. In order to pass final inspection on a new tile roof, the roof must pass an engineer's tile uplift test where they check the strength of the tiles. First off, there are many scam engineers out there who do the test and pass it for roofers even though it doesn't meet code. Second, the wind uplift requirements change every coupe of years, so a roof put on in 2022 has much stricter wind uplift than a roof put on in 2020 as they expanded uplift zones etc. pretty recently. If you need help, let us know. We are working in Cape Coral - my parents actually live there.

when is raining in my new roof in some parts of my house the water goes underneath of the tiles my question is it's normal for a concrete tiles or they didn't do a good job

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

You should not be seeing rain draining through the eaves in a flow, but it will drip or vent out from the eave closure holes. Concrete tiles absorb about 10x more moisture than clay tiles, so this moisture that absorbs into the tiles has to go somewhere. It will vent out from underneath or it will evaporate back out of the tiles. It should not really be flowing underneath the tiles though.

HOW LONG UNDERLAYMENT CAN STAY EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS WITHOUT being covered by tiles ?!?

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

I am asking that because after mounting the plywood on the roof it may be a long delay till the plumber is cutting the vents and plywood in my opinion should be covered ASAP after mounting and not left exposed to elements.

[@chrissignal8857]

I'm considering tile, you mentioned a 50 year life but the underlayment is only 30. My question is, why would the underlayment degrade if terracotta doesn't get hot like concrete or asphalt?

[@TheTimkanak]

The underlayment will still degrade over time as no tile is 100% waterproof. These tiles are Grade 1, the highest rating for moisture absorption, but they will still allow a percentile of moisture to absorb through the tiles and into the paper. The higher grade the tiles the better this will protect the underlayment. The maximum underlayment warranty I have seen is a material only warranty from CT Flintlastic that gets up to 50 years, but that is not a workmanship and material warranty like Polyglass provides and also is a little more expensive for that underlayment (which is a granulated cap sheet). The companies of course when providing a warranty will only provide warranties for products they KNOW 100% will last that long, so the 30 year warranty only marks the beginning of the failure rate. The roof could still last 30-50 years, however that will depend on owner maintenance (how well the roof is maintained over time - because even when you get a new roof, you still have to maintain it - just like buying a new car) and additionally on pest control (the #1 cause of leaks in South Florida are termites!!!)

@@netby Correct, the clay tiles range from a 50-75 year warranty, but the roof underneath can fail if it's not properly "beefed up"

A cuánto marcan las líneas

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Depende del mosaico, cada mosaico tiene una longitud diferente, por lo que usa un mosaico como guía para marcar las líneas. It depends on the tile, each tile has a different length, so you use one tile as a guide to mark the lines.

How much a job like this cost ?

[@TimKanak]

Depends on exact house size and which bells and whistles, but it can run between $60-$80 k or so

[@sunstone9000]

Good job, can I ask please why don't you use nails?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Many reasons, but here are two. 1. This house is Miami-Dade and you have to use foam at that slope, it's a higher code than regular Florida Building Code. 2. Foam is better, less holes in a roof = better, especially with concrete tiles which absorb a lot more moisture than these clay tiles and due to the Florida rains need cleaned all the time. The more movement on the roof from cleaners, etc. on the roof, the more likely the nails wiggle, move and expand the hole in the roof for water to run into. Additionally the moisture absorption is likely to crack out the tiles around the nail holes when they are fastened in rather than adhered.

@@perkinsroofingcorp thank you for your reply and explanation. I am in the Northeast and have a tile roof looks great but I don't think it's the right climate. I just did a repair, used copper and aluminum nails.

When it rains hard in the middle of the night do you sleep like a baby?

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

You know it!

Nobody is wearing fall protection.

It's one story up and all employees have OSHA cards. OSHA mandates not FA is okay as long as there is a trained safety manager on-site, which all of our projects have.

When you see an American on the roof, you know the customer overpaid for their roof 🤑🤑🤑🤑 that customer probably over paid by $30k😂

[@Theneighborino]

Nice video. But “we” should refer to your guys. No offense but you’re not doing anything but staying clean and looking pretty for the camera. 😂

[@perkinsroofingcorp]

Looking pretty is hard work. 🤣

[@sinaloense5798]

MEXICANS doing all the work - right ?

[@musabbanyhany2448]

Managing the project and schedule, making a drone video and a presentation on the roof install is also work. He is doing something 😂
