Clay Tile Roofing for Montrose's Spanish Revival Homes
Montrose holds one of Houston's best collections of 1920s Spanish Revival and Mediterranean homes — original clay tile rooflines on streets like Courtlandt Place and around the museum corridor.
Clay Tile Roofing in Montrose
Montrose renovates constantly, and its historic tile roofs sit in the middle of that churn. We protect and restore original tile through remodels and bring neglected rooflines back rather than tearing them off.
Montrose was platted when Spanish Revival was the height of fashion, and it shows: stucco walls, arched openings, and genuine barrel and mission tile roofs from the 1920s survive across the neighborhood — from the grand homes of Courtlandt Place to modest Mediterranean cottages tucked between newer townhomes. Much of this tile is approaching its hundredth year, typically still sound as tile while the felt and flashings beneath it finish their working lives.
The neighborhood's constant renovation cycle is the biggest threat to its tile. We're regularly called after another trade — painters, HVAC installers, solar surveyors — has walked a fragile field and left a trail of cracked tiles, or after a remodel contractor priced "just replacing all that old tile" because they didn't know how to work with it. Our renovation service protects the roof through construction: walk pads and access routes for other trades, tile salvage and storage during structural work, and relay when the project dries in.
For the neglected examples — and Montrose has some, on homes that sat as rentals for decades — restoration usually beats replacement. A lift-and-relay with modern underlayment, renewed flashings, and reclaimed-tile infill returns a weathered 1920s roofline to service for decades, at a cost that preserves rather than erases what makes these houses worth owning.

Montrose Tile Roofing Questions
We're remodeling a Montrose Spanish Revival. How do we protect the tile roof?
Bring us in before other trades touch the roof. We set walk pads and defined access routes, remove and palletize tile from work zones, and relay it over new underlayment once the remodel dries in. Most cracked-tile damage we repair in Montrose was caused by other contractors walking the field unprotected.
Our 1920s tile roof looks rough. Does it need replacement?
Usually not. Weathered appearance, biological staining, and a few broken tiles are all restorable. What matters is the underlayment and flashings beneath — if those have failed, a lift-and-relay (salvaging your tile, replacing what's under it) restores the roof for a fraction of replacement cost and keeps the original material.
Can you work on tight Montrose lots without wrecking the garden?
Yes — small-lot staging is normal here. We use compact tile staging, protect landscaping and hardscape before work starts, and sequence tear-off and relay so material never sits piled on the property longer than a day or two.
