Tremron Roofing: The Fort Worth Owner’s Guide
Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth stocks and installs Tremron-compatible roofing components throughout Fort Worth, with most replacement jobs running $400 to $1,800 parts and labor. We carry the common profiles and gauges on our trucks, so if you have a cracked paver edge, a shifted cap, or a failed underlayment section, we can usually get eyes on it and a written price to you the same week you call. Most Fort Worth homeowners discover the problem after a spring storm, when water shows up on the ceiling or a section of tile looks lifted and out of plane after a hard north wind.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already got a failed or failing section and you want to know three things: which part you actually need, what it should cost in Fort Worth, and whether it can be fixed without tearing off the whole roof. That’s what this page answers.
Key takeaways:
- Tremron roofing is concrete tile and concrete roofing accessory product, most common on Fort Worth homes built in the 1990s and 2000s.
- Most failures are not the tile itself. They’re the underlayment, the flashing, or the perimeter edge detail.
- You don’t need to match the exact Tremron SKU on a 25-year-old roof. You need the right profile, the right thickness, and a crew that checks the deck before they reinstall anything.
- We put the price in writing before a single tile comes off. If the repair fails inside a year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise brings us back at no charge.
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron was a Florida-based concrete products manufacturer. In Texas, their roofing tile shows up on tract-built subdivisions and custom homes from the mid-90s through roughly 2010. The most common profiles we see across Fort Worth are the flat shake and the S-tile, typically in the 12-inch and 17-inch widths. The brand also produced ridge caps, hip caps, and gable trim pieces sized to those specific tile profiles.
Here’s the compatibility gotcha most homeowners don’t know: a 17-inch Tremron-style S-tile will not seat correctly on a roof laid for a 15-inch Eagle or Boral profile. The water channel lands in the wrong place, and the nail line won’t hold where you need it. Before we order anything, we measure the exposed width, check the underside for a stamped mark, and match the radius of the water course, not just the color.
For most Fort Worth homes, a quality aftermarket concrete tile in the same profile and thickness performs just as well as a leftover OEM piece. Concrete roof tile is not brand-sensitive the way a mechanical part is. What matters is whether the replacement tile matches the existing layout in width, in height, and in the depth of the interlock. If it doesn’t, you’ll have a tile that looks right from the street and leaks at the first real rain. We will not install a tile that fits that way, and we’ll tell you that before you spend a dollar on it.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your Tremron Roofing Is Failing
- Water staining on the ceiling or upper wall, usually after a wind-driven rain. This almost always points to cracked underlayment or failed flashing, not to the tile itself. Concrete tile sheds water, but the waterproof layer underneath is what actually keeps your house dry.
- A tile out of plane, or several tiles shifted a half-inch out of line. The interlock is broken and wind will keep working at it. Once one tile lifts, the next storm gets underneath it and starts peeling the section back.
- Granules or concrete grit collecting in the gutters. That’s the surface of the tile spalling, which Texas heat accelerates. A little is normal on a 20-year roof. A lot means the tile is losing its density and will start absorbing water.
- White mineral streaks on the tile face or along the eave edge. That’s efflorescence, water moving through the tile and carrying mineral salts with it. It tells you water is getting somewhere it shouldn’t be.
- Ridge caps that rock when you look at them from the ground at the right angle. The mortar bed has failed. Once the cap is loose, the top row of field tile loses its edge protection and the leaks follow within a season.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In Fort Worth, a targeted Tremron roofing repair runs $400 to $1,800 depending on how many tiles are involved, the condition of the underlayment, and whether we’re replacing ridge caps or just field tile. A small section of 10 to 15 tiles with intact underlayment lands near the bottom of that range. A repair that requires cutting back the underlayment, resetting flashing, and replacing 30-plus tiles plus ridge caps lands near the top.
Every price we give includes the parts, the labor, the fasteners, the disposal of the broken material, and the written guarantee on the work. We don’t hit you with a change order because the deck was worse than expected. That’s what the initial inspection is for. Curtis Lane reads the roof before he writes the number, and the number doesn’t move at the door.
The full range based on scope:
- Minor repair, 5 – 10 tiles, no underlayment work: $400 – $800
- Mid-size repair with flashing correction: $800 – $1,400
- Larger section with underlayment replacement and ridge caps: $1,200 – $1,800
- Full roof replacement (if the deck or underlayment is gone): $8,000 – $20,000
DIY or Call Us?
There’s a narrow band of work a Fort Worth homeowner can safely handle on a Tremron roof without calling us. You can check the gutters for grit after a storm, photograph any shifted tile from the ground, and clear the valley drains of leaves. That’s inspection, not repair, and it’s useful information for us when we arrive.
What you should not do is walk a concrete tile roof. The tiles crack under foot traffic, and a 14-to-20-foot fall off a Fort Worth roofline is a life-changing event. We use roof jacks and walking plans rated for the pitch. We also won’t send you up there to test our work. Proper repair means getting under the tile, checking the underlayment and flashing, and resetting the interlock so water sheds the way the profile was designed to. That’s a trained-crew job, and it’s the one we put in writing.
Straight scope, firm price, no surprises at final walkthrough. Call (682) 204-4897 and we’ll get the roof read and the number in your hand.
FAQs
A properly installed concrete tile roof in Fort Worth can last 40 to 50 years, but that number assumes the underlayment gets replaced roughly every 15 to 20 years. The Texas heat breaks down the waterproof membrane long before the tile gives out, so most “tile failures” we see are actually underlayment failures showing through the tile.
A hairline crack can sometimes be sealed with a flexible concrete adhesive if the tile is not load-bearing and the crack doesn’t run through the water channel. Any tile with a crack through the interlock or across the water course should be replaced. Sealing it buys six months if you’re lucky. Call (682) 204-4897 and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Most repairs on a Fort Worth home take four to eight hours from setup to cleanup. If underlayment replacement is involved, expect a full day. We scope it in the written price, so you know the timeline before we start.
We stock the common 12-inch and 17-inch flat and S-tile profiles in the colors most often found on Fort Worth tract homes, plus ridge and hip caps to match. If your roof uses an unusual profile or a discontinued color, we order it and walk you through the timeline before you commit to the work.
