How to Choose the Right Roof Tiles for Your Spanish-Style Home in California

Spanish-style architecture is a beloved staple throughout Southern California, from Santa Barbara to San Diego. These homes are known for their white stucco exteriors, archways, and—perhaps most iconically—their red or earth-toned tile roofs. If you’re restoring or replacing the roof on a Spanish-style home, it’s essential to choose tiles that preserve the charm while offering modern-day durability.

At Classic Roof Tile, we specialize in authentic, reclaimed, and custom roof tiles that blend seamlessly with traditional California architecture.

Match the Original Style with the Right Tile Profile

Classic Spanish homes often feature S-tiles (also known as Mission or Barrel tiles), which create a distinctive wave pattern that enhances water runoff. We offer a wide selection of reclaimed S-tiles to match original roofing materials and ensure historic accuracy.

Choosing the correct tile profile is especially important for homes in historic neighborhoods of Pasadena, San Juan Capistrano, or Riverside, where architectural preservation is key.

Custom Color Matching for Seamless Repairs

Whether you're dealing with storm damage, making an addition, or replacing a section of aging roof, getting an exact color match is crucial for a cohesive look. Our custom color matching service ensures that new or replacement tiles blend in perfectly with your existing roof.

We’ve helped countless homeowners from Santa Monica to Palm Springs maintain the authenticity of their Spanish-style homes while meeting today’s performance standards.

The Value of Reclaimed Roof Tiles

Using reclaimed tiles not only supports environmental sustainability but also provides an unmatched level of character and craftsmanship. At Classic Roof Tile, we source rare and discontinued roof tiles that are perfect for historic homes and restorations across Southern California.

If you're unsure whether you need reclaimed or new tiles, our experienced team can evaluate your project and recommend the best solution for your location, climate, and budget.
