The Roof Tile Guru
The Roof Tile Guru web site is a collection of the expertise and knowledge dealing with the installation, collecting, identification and selling of historic and obsolete roofing tiles and other specialty roofing materials. Vincent H. Hobson (Roof Tile Guru) has over 30 years of hands on experience and built one of the larger collections of reclaimed historic and obsolete tiles in the country. Having garnered a wealth of information on the procurement of historic roof tile, The Roof Tile Guru is putting it to use to help customers locate, salvage, purchase and ship the roofing tiles they need. Whether it is one piece or many squares, a custom design project where it just needs to look old, or insurance repair/replacement requirements, The Roof Tile Guru can help. We also access a large variety of mineral fiber cement shingles and sidings.
Vincent H. Hobson also provides extensive consulting services to homeowners, architects,
roofing contractors, historians and even other consultants in the tile roofing arena.
We cater to those with specialized roofing needs especially when it comes to the
historic and obsolete roofing tile projects. Some of the other aspects of our niche
business enterprise is the identification of old roof tiles, both clay and concrete;
the drafting and implementing of specifications for the restoration and repairs
of historic tile roof systems; the
purchasing and selling
of historic roof tiles and related trim tile accessories; and we even
assist the homeowner and contractor in learning the proper way to palletize, store,
salvage and ship their own salvaged or reclaimed roof tiles. We have recently added
a featured roof tile
selection to our website which will provide a free space on our website
for featuring your batch of reclaimed or salvaged roof tile, as long as it is obsolete,
historical or unique in nature. So if you are replacing roof tile, you've found your
roof tile headquarters.
The Roof Tile Guru has been performing historical roof tile identification and consulting services for restoration and tile repair projects all over the United States for over three decades.
