Clay and concrete tile roofing in Acadiana shows up on higher-end Lafayette Parish residential — Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean Revival, and select custom homes where the tile aesthetic anchors the design. Brown's Roofing installs and restores tile across Lafayette and the surrounding Acadiana parishes with experienced underlayment specification (proper synthetic or 40-pound felt that handles the weight), copper or painted-metal flashing that respects the architectural pattern, and the period-correct workmanship the system demands. The 130–140 mph design wind zone dictates fastener schedules and edge details specific to the system.

FAQ
Tile Roofing FAQ — Lafayette
- Modest volume — tile is concentrated on higher-end Lafayette Parish residential, particularly Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean Revival, and custom Acadian-influenced homes. The volume isn't comparable to asphalt or standing-seam metal, but it's meaningful enough that we maintain tile-restoration capability and source matched material when needed. We don't sub it out to general crews.
- Properly installed tile to the 130–140 mph design wind zone fastener schedule handles tropical wind well — the State Uniform Construction Code dictates the fastener density and clip patterns specific to tile systems. Older installations done before code-strengthening may have fewer fasteners than the current code requires; we evaluate fastener density on existing tile and recommend reinforcement where it makes sense.
- Often yes, with effort. Original manufacturers may still produce compatible product, salvage suppliers carry vintage tile, and color-matching by careful selection can produce a near-invisible patch. We track available tile sources and will tell you honestly when a match is achievable and when partial replacement requires accepting some color variation.
- Clay tile typically runs 700–1,000 pounds per square (100 sq ft); concrete tile is closer to 600–1,000 pounds per square. Standard residential framing is often designed for tile weight on tile-roofed homes, but switching from a lighter system (asphalt) to tile requires structural review. We confirm the framing capacity before scoping any tile installation on a previously non-tile home.
