Tile Roofing

• Tile roofs are known for their durability and longevity. With proper maintenance, a tile roof can last 50 to 100 years or more. Factors such as the quality of the installation, the type of tiles used, and the local climate can influence the exact lifespan.

• While no roof is completely fireproof, tile roofs are highly fire-resistant. Clay and concrete tiles have Class A fire ratings, which means they can withstand severe fire exposure. This makes tile roofs a safer option compared to many other roofing materials in areas prone to wildfires.

Tile roofs offer several advantages over asphalt shingles, including:

1. Durability: Tile roofs can last significantly longer, often up to 100 years, while asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years.

2. Aesthetic Appeal: Tile roofs provide a distinctive and attractive appearance that can enhance the overall look and value of your home.

3. Fire Resistance: Tiles have excellent fire resistance, offering better protection for your home.

4. Energy Efficiency: Tile roofs provide better insulation, helping to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, potentially lowering energy costs.

5. Low Maintenance: Tile roofs require less maintenance and are less prone to issues like algae and mold growth.

• While tile roofs have a higher upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles, they can be a cost-effective investment in the long run. The longevity, durability, and low maintenance requirements of tile roofs mean you may spend less on repairs and replacements over time. Additionally, energy efficiency and increased home value can offset the initial expense. For many homeowners, the benefits of a tile roof justify the higher initial investment.
