Manchester Premium Roofing provides professional tile roofing in Manchester, NH for residential and commercial properties across southern New Hampshire. Expect this page to talk you out of buying. Tile is an excellent covering where it belongs, and southern New Hampshire does not belong on that list. We list it because a few buildings here really do carry tile and deserve someone competent to look after it.
Weight is the obstacle. A tile covering imposes several times the dead load that asphalt does, while the framing on a house built here in 1900 or 1925 was sized for wood shingle and has already been asked to carry asphalt instead. Adding tile to that is a structural alteration, not a covering choice, and it needs an engineer's letter naming the load before anyone talks about color.
We will not quote a tile conversion without that letter. Not as a formality, and not as something to sort out later. In a state where the code applies to your alteration but no inspector may ever visit, the engineer's calculation is the only thing standing between you and a mistake nobody catches until it is structural. That calculation costs a small fraction of the roof and settles the matter once.
On buildings that already carry tile, the work is repair and selective replacement. Cracked and slipped units get replaced individually, the underlayment beneath is what actually keeps water out and is usually what has failed, and the flashings at chimneys and valleys do the rest. Walking a tile roof carelessly breaks more units than weather does, so access gets planned before anyone steps on it.
Sourcing is the honest difficulty. Matching an obsolete profile means salvage, and salvage means waiting and paying. We will tell you what a match will cost and how long it will take before you commit, and sometimes the answer is that a discreet blend across a less visible elevation serves you better than a perfect match you wait a year for. Honesty about lead times is cheaper than a half-finished roof waiting on a pallet.
For everyone else asking about tile because they liked the look on holiday, our advice is to spend the difference on a good laminate shingle, proper flashing metal and fixing the ventilation. You will get a better roof and keep a substantial amount of money. That advice loses us the job and we give it anyway, because tile on the wrong building is a permanent mistake.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, net free ventilating area computed to IRC R806.2, a saddle framed to the 30-inch chimney threshold — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Manchester and nearby communities including Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett, Merrimack.

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 surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, 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 Manchester 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 southern New Hampshire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Manchester Chooses Manchester Premium Roofing
- ✓We tell you plainly that New Hampshire issues no roofing license, then show you the three things about a contractor you actually can verify here.
- ✓The warranty is written before the sale, not handed over at the end, because the statute reads that document to decide whether your complaint counts as a defect.
- ✓Our inspections are paid and the written report belongs to you, so our finding is allowed to be that your roof needs nothing this year.
- ✓Where a roof meets old brick we set flashing into a raked joint and repoint in soft lime mortar, and we will not run a grinder through a wall that cannot take one.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Manchester 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.
