Timeless beauty that lasts for decades — clay and concrete tile is heat-reflective, low-maintenance, and built to handle Oklahoma's blazing summers. Installed and replaced by Norman's expert roofers.
Few roofing systems combine beauty and longevity quite like tile. Made from natural clay or molded concrete, tile roofing has been protecting homes for centuries — and it remains one of the most distinctive, durable options you can put on a house today. It's available in a remarkable range of shapes, colors, and designs, from sculpted barrel profiles to flat, slate-style tiles, so it can complement everything from a Mediterranean villa to a modern custom home. Norman Roofing Co. designs, installs, and replaces tile roofs across Norman and the OKC metro, and we use quality materials and proven installation methods on every project.
As a locally owned company with more than 20 years of experience, we treat a tile roof as the long-term investment it is. Our experienced, background-checked technicians handle the details that make tile last — proper underlayment, flashing, and fastening — so your roof looks great and performs for decades.
An honest word about weight: tile is heavy — significantly heavier than asphalt shingles — so the roof structure must be able to support it. Before we install or convert to tile, we evaluate your framing and decking to confirm it can carry the load, and we'll tell you straight if reinforcement is needed.
The classic curved, S-shaped or half-round profile most people picture when they think of tile. Spanish and Mission barrel tiles create dramatic shadow lines and that unmistakable Mediterranean look, while the curves help air flow beneath the roof.
Cleaner, lower-profile tiles — including Greek and flat slate-style options — that suit more contemporary and architectural homes. They deliver the same durability with a sleeker, more uniform appearance.
Clay tile offers rich, fade-resistant color and centuries-proven performance. Concrete tile is typically more affordable, comes in an even wider variety of shapes and finishes, and is a bit lighter than some clay options. We'll help you weigh cost, weight, color, and look during your free estimate.
Oklahoma summers are long and hot, and that's where tile shines — its heat-reflective surface and ventilated profile help your home stay cooler and ease the load on your AC. Tile is also a tough, weather-resistant material that holds up to sun, wind, and rain over the long haul. We'll always give you an honest picture of how any roofing system performs in our climate, including our hail-prone storms, and we'll never overpromise. If your priority is maximum impact resistance against hail, we'll talk you through the trade-offs and the alternatives, like metal roofing or impact-resistant asphalt shingles.
Tile is primarily a residential and architectural choice — it's especially at home on Spanish, Mediterranean, and custom-built homes. It can also work beautifully on certain commercial and Mediterranean-style buildings where the look and longevity justify the investment. Whether your project is a home or a business, we'll design a tile roof that fits the structure and your budget.
Every tile project starts with a thorough roof and structure evaluation and a free, honest estimate. From there our crews handle the job end to end: tear-off of the old roof (when replacing), structural assessment, high-quality underlayment, careful flashing at every penetration, and precise tile installation to manufacturer specs — finished with a full cleanup. We back our workmanship with our promise that your roof won't leak — guaranteed, and we can help you navigate the insurance process when a claim is involved.
