What to Avoid When Maintaining a Tile Roof

Never walk directly on tile roofing in Palm Beach County — tile is brittle and will crack under direct foot pressure. Professional roofers use specialized walkboards and techniques to move across tile roofs safely. Additionally, avoid pressure washing tiles at high pressure, which can damage the tile surface and force water under tiles.
