Residential Tile Roofing

Long term, concrete tile roofing is the an affordable roofing system simply because it is meant to last for the lifetime of the structure. Other roofing materials will require re-roofing at some point and most likely while you still own your home. Only clay tile and copper compare to the life expectancy of concrete tile. We highly recommend this type of roof for those that want little maintenance and high end aesthetics to boot. Concrete tile roofing styles include mission, rounded and flat. Tile roofing systems can be made of concrete, rubber, or clay and are extremely durable.

Although there’s little maintenance necessary, the rafter or truss system for your roof must be able to handle the extra weight. There are reimbursements available for the cost of an engineering report from most tile manufacturers. Most homes can withstand the weight of tile without any modifications but due diligence is always best and having the home inspected when switching from any product to tile is required by most jurisdictions.
Clay and concrete tiles have similar physical properties and installation methods. Concrete tile is typically less expensive to manufacture than clay and it can be made anywhere. Clay tiles must be made near a clay quarry, so additional freight cost can drive the price up depending on your home location, and add to the overall cost of the roof. A well-constructed clay or concrete tile roof should last more than 50 years and provide you decades of enjoyment.
