Jonesboro Premium Roofing provides professional tile roofing in Jonesboro, AR for residential and commercial properties across northeast Arkansas. Consider this the page where we talk you out of a product on our own price list. If you live in Jonesboro and you are considering tile for a house that has never had it, our advice is don't. Read the rest of this before you call anybody, including us.
Three reasons, in order of what they will cost you. First, weight. A concrete tile roof carries several times the dead load that laminate shingle does, and stick framing in most Craighead County houses was sized for shingle and not one pound more. Doing it properly means a licensed structural engineer looks at your framing first, and that is a real bill arriving before a single tile does.
Second, supply. There is essentially no tile stock in northeast Arkansas, which means there is no local inventory of matching pieces sitting on a shelf anywhere near you. When a limb takes out nine tiles in April you are waiting on a special order and living under a tarp, which is a poor trade for what is fundamentally a decorative upgrade. Meanwhile the tarp overhead is doing the erosion work described further down this page.
Third, and this is the one that really decides it: tile does nothing at all about the thing that damages houses here. Your exposure on this ridge is at the outlet and in the soil, not in the covering. Spending forty thousand dollars on a covering in order to address a drainage problem is an unusually expensive way of not addressing it.
If you already have tile, that is a different conversation and we will look after it properly. Broken and slipped pieces get replaced individually rather than in bulk, the underlayment beneath the tile is the actual waterproofing layer and it is always what wears out first, and a relay with fresh underlayment using the tile you already own is usually far cheaper than anybody's new roof.
Want the look without the problems? A standing seam panel in a dark profile, or a heavy laminate shingle with a pronounced shadow line, gets most of the way there at a fraction of the dead load and the lead time. We would rather sell you that, take the smaller ticket, and still be on speaking terms with you in five years. That has always been the better trade.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, kickout flashing at the roof-to-wall corner, synthetic underlayment fastened with capped nails — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Jonesboro and nearby communities including Paragould, Brookland, Bono, Bay.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Jonesboro job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in northeast Arkansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Jonesboro Chooses Jonesboro Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal states where each downspout ends and what it lands on, because Jonesboro sits on a loess ridge and the soil at that point is the part of the system most likely to fail first.
- ✓We refuse to put drywells, pop-up emitters or buried infiltration on ridge lots. Loess sits over a fragipan around two feet down, so water put into the ground near the house cannot descend and travels sideways at footing depth instead.
- ✓Roof inspections here end at grade. We photograph headcuts, undermined splash blocks and exposed footings, and we tell you when a reported roof leak is actually ground water rather than selling you a roof.
- ✓Metal roofs only leave here with a full gutter package on a sloped lot, because a smooth panel delivers the same rainfall in a shorter, harder pulse and an unguttered drip line cuts a trench in erodible silt.
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Jonesboro follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every tile roofing project in Jonesboro gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
