Yonkers Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Yonkers, NY for residential and commercial properties across southwest Westchester. This page mostly argues against its own product, which is the honest position in this market. Clay and concrete tile sit on a handful of Yonkers buildings, nearly all designed for it a century ago, and they are lovely. New tile on anything else is usually a mistake.
The reason is weight. Clay and concrete tile assemblies carry several times the dead weight of an asphalt covering, and the common frame two-family here was sized for wood shingle and has since accumulated a layer or two. Adding tile to that means an engineer, sistered rafters and a structural permit, which is a different project with a different budget. None of that is a reason to dislike tile, only to check the frame.
The permit form does list clay and concrete among the roof types, so the city plainly sees tile roofs. What it also does is treat structural modifications as a separate application, which is exactly where a tile conversion lands. We would rather you hear that from us in week one than from a plans examiner in week six.
On a building that already carries tile, the job is repair and underlayment. Tile itself outlives the felt beneath it by decades, so the usual job is a careful strip and stack, new self-adhered underlayment, replacement of the cracked and slipped pieces from salvage that matches, and fresh flashing metal at every wall and valley. Half the value of that job is in the stripping and the stacking.
Sourcing decides whether that job is possible. Barrel and interlocking patterns from a particular maker are not interchangeable, and a mismatched field of replacements looks worse than the original damage. We survey the profile, count what needs replacing and confirm a source before quoting, and sometimes the answer is that the source no longer exists. A salvage yard is a legitimate part of the specification here.
If the tile is beyond repair and the frame cannot carry a new one, we will say so and offer a slate-look or a standing seam alternative at the correct weight, with the honest note that it will not look the same. We would rather lose the job than sell a roof the building cannot hold. That conversation costs you an hour and saves you a structural report.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cast-iron drain bowls with replacement clamping rings, tapered polyisocyanurate laid to a quarter-inch board layout, lead-lined through-wall scupper sleeves, torch-applied SBS cap sheet turned up the parapet, gravel-stop edge metal set in two courses of flashing cement, sheet-metal coping caps with concealed splice plates — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Yonkers and nearby communities including Mount Vernon, Bronxville, Tuckahoe, Eastchester.

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 cast-iron drain bowls with replacement clamping rings, tapered polyisocyanurate laid to a quarter-inch board layout, lead-lined through-wall scupper sleeves, torch-applied SBS cap sheet turned up the parapet, 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 Yonkers 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 southwest Westchester means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Yonkers Chooses Yonkers Roof Pros
- ✓We settle one question before any other: does this roof still drain. The city's own re-roofing permit hangs two code allowances on that word, and your price hangs on it too.
- ✓A hose test on the low corner with the chalk line and the drain-down time written onto the estimate, rather than a slope guessed at from the sidewalk.
- ✓The drain bowl, clamping ring, strainer and the leader inside the wall chase are itemized apart from the membrane, because they fail on a completely different clock.
- ✓Where the street face is shingle and the deck behind it is membrane, you get two systems, two prices and two service lives, never one figure for the address.
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Yonkers 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 Yonkers 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.
