Tile roofs in Evans must handle the semi-arid continental climate with its wide daily temperature swings and occasional high winds that sweep across Weld County. Concrete and clay tiles expand and contract differently than asphalt, so installers use specific underlayment and batten systems to prevent cracking at the edges near Evans Town Center. Older housing stock in the LaSalle area often has original battens that have dried out, requiring full removal before new tile can be set without telegraphing movement from the deck.
Wind-driven rain and the occasional hail event common to this part of northern Colorado make proper fastening critical. Tiles along eaves and ridges need additional clips or screws beyond the standard nail pattern because open fields around the Weld County Fairgrounds funnel gusts directly into neighborhoods. Homeowners replacing roofs in Greeley or La Salle frequently discover that the original felt has deteriorated under the tiles, turning a simple re-roof into a deck repair once the old material is lifted.
Edge details around chimneys and valleys demand extra care because the dry air accelerates sealant failure. Using self-adhered membrane at these points plus step flashing integrated with the tile profile keeps water out during the short but intense summer storms. Crews working in Evans also check for ice dam potential at lower roof pitches even though the overall climate is dry, since rapid melt after a cold snap can push water under tiles that were not sealed at the laps.
Technician insight
In Evans the thing that catches most people out with tile roofing is how fast the original felt dries out and cracks under the tiles because of our low humidity and temperature swings. Homes in LaSalle especially need the underlayment replaced completely instead of just patching, or wind will drive water under the laps within a couple of seasons.
Tile Lift After Winter Wind
A homeowner in Evans Town Center noticed several tiles missing along the north eaves after a spring wind event. We found the original felt had shrunk and no longer sealed the laps. We replaced the underlayment across the affected section, re-secured the remaining tiles with additional clips, and restored the edge detail to match the rest of the roof.
