How to Match and Source Obsolete Roof Tiles in Southern California

Whether you're restoring a historic Spanish-style home in Escondido or repairing a weathered roof in San Diego, one major challenge stands out—finding the perfect match for discontinued or rare roof tiles. The wrong tile can stick out like a sore thumb and hurt your curb appeal or resale value. Fortunately, Classic Roof Tile, with yards in Escondido, Lake Elsinore, Colton, and San Diego, specializes in helping contractors and homeowners find exact tile matches—even for obsolete styles.


🏘 Why Obsolete Roof Tile Matching Matters

Roof damage doesn’t always mean a full replacement is necessary. Often, only a few tiles are cracked, chipped, or missing. However, sourcing a perfect match becomes difficult if the original tile has been discontinued or the manufacturer no longer exists. Matching tiles:

  • Maintain the architectural integrity of your home
  • Prevent unsightly patches or inconsistent patterns
  • Reduce the cost of full roof replacement
  • Are essential for HOA or historical society compliance

🧱 How Classic Roof Tile Helps

With one of the largest reclaimed and discontinued tile inventories in Southern California, Classic Roof Tile is the go-to source for:

  • Clay tiles (Ludowici, MCA, and other historic brands)
  • Concrete roof tiles
  • Slate and composite options
  • Rare profiles, colors, and finishes

If you need just a handful of tiles or several pallets, chances are one of Classic's four Southern California yards has exactly what you’re looking for.


📸 Tips for Finding a Match

Want a quick match? Follow these tips when contacting Classic Roof Tile:
