Why is it masculine?

Tejados is masculine because it derives from Latin "tegulatum" (covered with tiles, from "tegula" meaning tile), and Latin neuter nouns ending in "-atum" became masculine in Spanish as the neuter gender collapsed into the masculine during the language's evolution. The word literally refers to a tiled roof, and its gender followed the standard phonetic and grammatical transformation patterns from Latin to Spanish.
