Kokomo Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Kokomo, IN for residential and commercial properties across Howard County and north central Indiana. Start with the truth: clay and concrete tile is close to absent from Kokomo's housing stock, and on most houses here we will recommend against it. This page exists because people ask, and because the reasons deserve explaining rather than talking around.
The obstacle is structural, not aesthetic. Concrete tile lands somewhere around nine to twelve pounds per square foot installed. Asphalt lands around two and a half. A roof framed in the 1950s or 1960s to carry an asphalt roof and an Indiana snow load was never designed for four times the covering weight, and putting it there without a structural review is how ceilings sag and rafters roll.
So if you genuinely want a tile roof on an existing Kokomo house, the honest sequence starts with a structural engineer's letter and not with a roofing quote. If the framing needs sistering, a new ridge beam or additional bearing, that cost belongs in the comparison from the very beginning rather than surfacing halfway through. We will not quote the covering and leave you to discover the framing later, which is how these projects go wrong here.
For most people who like the look, stone-coated steel is the answer we actually recommend. It carries a tile profile at roughly one and a half pounds per square foot, installs over battens on standard framing, handles freeze-thaw far better than a fired clay product in this climate, and does not require anybody to open a wall to prove the house can hold it.
Synthetic composite tile is the other route and it behaves well here, though it is genuinely expensive and the product field changes faster than the warranties suggest. If you go that way, buy from a manufacturer with a decade of installed history in a cold climate rather than the newest entrant, and read what the warranty does when the maker stops making it.
Where real tile already exists on a building in the county, usually on a church, a school or an older commercial structure, repair is nearly always the right call. Individual pieces can be sourced or salvaged, the underlayment beneath them is the part that actually fails at forty years, and a re-lay over new underlayment preserves a roof that no replacement product available today will honestly match.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, one-piece lead pipe flashings instead of thermoplastic boots, penetration counts recorded per square at tear-off — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Kokomo and nearby communities including Greentown, Russiaville, Sharpsville, Windfall City.

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 orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, 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 Kokomo 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 Howard County and north central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
