Ceramic Tile Roofing in Jonesboro
Delta Roofing installs and repairs ceramic tile roofs throughout Jonesboro, AR.
We’ve worked with these roofs for years, and honestly, they’re some of the most durable systems you can put on a home.
When installed correctly, ceramic tile roofing handles the humid summers and occasional winter freezes in AR better than most alternatives.
Homeowners in northeast Arkansas choose ceramic tile for reasons beyond durability. The material naturally reflects heat, which keeps attic temperatures down during those sweltering June through September months when heat indices regularly push past 100 degrees.
The aesthetic works. But the real benefit shows up in longevity; a properly maintained ceramic tile roof can last 50 years or more.
That said, tile roofs aren’t immune to problems. Individual tiles crack from impact during spring storm season or from sudden temperature shifts when winter cold snaps hit.
Underlayment wears out long before the tiles do, usually around the 20-year mark (depending on material quality). Flashing around chimneys and valleys needs attention.

Signs Your Ceramic Tile Roof Needs Repair
Look for these issues if you’re concerned about your roof’s condition:
- Cracked or broken tiles, especially after hail or fallen branches from spring thunderstorms
- Water stains appearing on ceilings in upper rooms
- Loose or slipped tiles creating gaps in the roof line
- Deteriorating mortar at ridge caps or hip joints
- Missing tiles that expose the underlayment to weather
- Debris (such as mortar fragments or tile pieces) collecting in gutters
Most damage starts small. One cracked tile lets moisture reach the underlayment. That spreads. By the time you notice ceiling stains, the problem’s been developing for months.
Our Ceramic Tile Roof Installation and Repair Process
We start with a full roof inspection. That means walking the entire surface, checking every valley, examining all penetrations. We document what we find: cracked tiles, worn flashing, underlayment exposure. You get photos and a detailed report.
For repairs, we source matching tiles. Color and profile matter. A mismatched tile stands out on a roof for the next 20 years.
We carefully remove damaged tiles without disturbing surrounding ones, replace or repair the underlayment as needed, then install new tiles with proper overlap and spacing. The work includes resealing all edges and ensuring water channels correctly off the roof.
Full installations take more time. We remove existing roofing down to the decking, inspect and repair sheathing, install premium underlayment rated for tile weight and designed to handle the humidity common in this region, then lay each tile course with precision.
Proper batten spacing matters; it affects how tiles interlock and how water flows. We install new flashing at every transition point and seal all penetrations. Ridge caps go on last with mortar that’s mixed specifically for the climate variations here in AR.
Why Ceramic Tile Makes Sense for Jonesboro Homes
The upfront cost runs higher than asphalt shingles. That’s the reality. But you’re installing a roof once instead of replacing shingles every 15 to 20 years.
The energy savings add up, too; ceramic tile keeps homes cooler naturally, which means less strain on your AC during those long stretches of 90-degree days that define summer in northeast Arkansas.
Homes here deal with everything from severe thunderstorms to occasional ice events. Ceramic tile handles both without the brittleness issues you see with cheaper materials in freeze-thaw cycles.
Many of the older ranch-style homes and split-levels from the 70s and 80s were built with roof structures strong enough to support tile, which makes them ideal candidates for upgrades.
Delta Roofing has served Jonesboro and surrounding areas for years. We’ve installed ceramic tile roofs on everything from compact ranch homes to sprawling custom builds.
The material holds up, and when maintained properly, it outlasts nearly every other residential roofing option available.
