Revere Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Revere, MA for residential and commercial properties across Boston's inner North Shore. Consider this an argument against the product. If you own an ordinary two-family or three-decker here and you are weighing up clay or concrete tile, our advice is to put the money somewhere else, and what follows is the reasoning rather than a workaround.
The reason is dead load. A clay or concrete tile assembly runs several times the weight of an asphalt one, and the framing under almost every house in this city was cut for wood shingle and later asked to carry one or two layers of asphalt. Adding that much weight is not a covering change, it is a structural change, and it has to be evaluated by somebody actually qualified to evaluate it.
On a three-family that evaluation happens under the base code, because the building was never eligible for the Residential Code at 780 CMR 51.00 to begin with. In practice that means a registered design professional, a structural review of rafters and bearing points, and very often a sistering or reframing scope that costs more than the tile did. Owners are rarely told this before the deposit.
There is also a maintenance argument nobody makes at the sales stage. Tile on a building in a freeze-and-thaw climate gets walked on for every gutter clean, every chimney sweep and every aerial, and each of those trips breaks pieces underfoot. A roof you cannot walk on is a roof you quietly stop maintaining, and the small repairs quietly stop happening altogether. Slate carries some of the same problem and none of the same weight.
So we will inspect and repair existing tile, and there are a handful of genuine tile roofs on grand houses in this area that fully deserve keeping. Replacing broken field pieces, resetting a slipped hip and repointing a ridge are all sensible work and we are happy to do them properly.
Selling a new tile roof onto framing that was never cut for it is the one thing we will not do. If you want the look, a heavyweight laminate or a formed metal profile gets you close on appearance at a small fraction of the weight, and your framing never has to enter the conversation at all. That is the cheaper recommendation, and on this housing stock it is also plainly the correct one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an unrestricted CSL number entered on a three-unit permit application, a granulated SBS cap sheet bedded in cold adhesive, tapered EPS crickets built behind a rear chimney stack, a shingle-to-membrane transition worked into the mansard eave line, a party-wall parapet capped in 20-ounce lead-coated copper, two-piece surface counterflashing screwed to a brick firewall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Revere and nearby communities including Chelsea, Winthrop, Everett, Malden.

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 an unrestricted CSL number entered on a three-unit permit application, a granulated SBS cap sheet bedded in cold adhesive, tapered EPS crickets built behind a rear chimney stack, a shingle-to-membrane transition worked into the mansard eave line, 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 Revere 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 Boston's inner North Shore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Revere Chooses Revere Roof Pros
- ✓We establish the dwelling unit count before quoting, because it decides the code path, the license class and the paperwork, and most bids in this city never mention it at all.
- ✓Our estimates carry the Construction Supervisor License number and its restriction class, so you can check that the person signing your permit is actually allowed to sign it.
- ✓We write scopes with quantities and fastener patterns so you can take our document to two other roofers and receive numbers that describe the same roof.
- ✓Inspection fees are billed and stay billed, never netted off a later job, because that is the only way to be certain the report you receive is an opinion and not a pitch.
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Revere 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 Revere 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.
