New Casitas and Cabana Addition With a Tricky Tile Match

Here's one of those jobs where the roofing work is only half the challenge. We were brought in to roof a new casitas and cabana addition alongside an existing home that already had a beautiful clay tile roof. The problem? The original tile color was discontinued. No longer made. Not sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting for us.

That kind of situation can go sideways fast if you don't know where to look. A poor color match would stick out immediately - especially from above, where the old roof and new roofs sit right next to each other on the same property. We weren't willing to just pick something close and call it a day.

So we did the legwork. We sourced, compared, and tracked down the closest available match on the market. The tile we landed on carries the same warm, earthy terracotta tones as the original - blending naturally across all the new rooflines without drawing attention to the seams between old and new construction.

That's what new construction roofing actually requires sometimes. It's not just about laying tile correctly - it's about problem-solving before the first tile ever goes down. Material sourcing, color continuity, and attention to how a new structure will read against what's already there. All of that matters.

We handle new construction roofing from the ground up, and jobs like this are a good example of why experience in the trade goes a long way. When you run into a wall - like a discontinued tile line - you need someone who knows how to work around it without compromising the finished product.
