Q: I had some recent storm damage on my tile roof. The concrete at the ends of the tiles fell off and two tiles came down. They were still in good shape, so I screwed them down into the wood and caulked them back in place. Will this repair work?
A: It’s hard to say without seeing the job you did, but it should last for a while. Some caulks or adhesives don’t work all that well on the roof of a house because they can’t take the heat in summer.
But it sounds as if you did a good job. If you have problems later on, all you’ll risk is having to try again. One adhesive that might work is Liquid Nail.
