Do you have old roof tile for
sale?
We are pleased to offer our
"Featured Roof Tiles of the
Month"
section for those of you who may have
large or small quantities of old salvaged roof tile for sale.
If it is not something that we have a need for we will be happy to
help you sell the roofing material. Using our site to attact
roof tile buyers, we offer this service at no charge but
we do often negotiate a commission if we are able to match a
purchaser with your roof tile. We will determine the potential
for the sale of your historic or obsolete roofing tile and post your
photos of the tile on our website for
selected periods of time. We
will need to know the quantity of the field tile, any trim tiles
available and the quantity of the same and good, clear photographs
of the roof tile. We prefer to have some that show how the
reclaimed tile is situated at the time of posting. The rest is
easy and we will field all inquiries. We only ask that if you
sell your old roof tile before we can that you notify us so that we
can offer others the same opportunity that you
received. Contact
us with any
questions.
Here are some questions to ask and some
points to consider when selling your used roofing
tile:
-
First of all, is it a roof tile that
is marketable? There are many tiles which, given
the cost of salvaging and the lack of demand, make them
undesirable. But even these tiles are occasionally bought by
collectors.
-
Secondly, is the tile on or off
the roof? We salvage roof tiles from both places.
Most of our roof reclamation
projects are located in Colorado, which is where we base our primary
operations from. Logistically, it is not feasible for
us to travel great distances to remove an old tile roof. We
will, however, be happy to provide you the guidance necessary to
properly palletize and get ready for shipping the roofing tiles
you have reclaimed. At that point the used roof tile
is much more marketable and we are more likely to consider its
purchase. If we do not purchase it we can refer you on to
others like ourselves who may be located in your general
area.

Tiles that are on the ground are often purchased
no matter where they are located, depending on the type of roof
tile. Salvaged tiles that have been separated and properly palletized will
of course bring a higher price. Another important factor is
whether the associated trim roof tiles that were on the roof were
properly salvaged and available. Having the trim roof tile with the field
tiles makes the prospect of purchase much more attractive.
If you have a collection of old roof tiles,
either small or large, on the ground and in disarray, we are still
interested in taking a look. Very often collections of old tile
begin to get in the way. They are hard to keep neat, take up space,
and often end up getting broken into pieces. We are interested in your
tiles and if it is of value to us, we will provide the pallets and labor to
sort, palletize and ship out a messy roof tile collection. Again,
it will depend on the type of salvaged roof tile we are
dealing with. In the long run, whether we purchase it or we
pass it on to another for purchase, we hate to see history or
historical roof tile tossed out. We
will do whatever we
can to see that
someone, somewhere, can salvage your old roof tiles!
The Roof Tile Guru has been reclaiming
historic and obsolete roofing tile for decades. With much of
the tile that remains available for salvage, it is imperative that
the tiles we obtain are carefully checked, matched, and separated
to assure that only quality usable tiles are available for resale
or incorporation into restoration projects. Roof tiles that have
failed to function, or show obvious signs of product failure, are
culled and not taken into inventory. Most often, however, the trim
tiles associated with these tiles are salvaged as the process of
manufacture is quite different and the trim is inherently stronger.
