Affordability
When you consider that a concrete tile roof will last for the life of the structure, the full life-cycle cost of the roof is quite affordable when compared to other roofing materials. With regular maintenance, the hassle and expense of reroofing is minimized. According to a 2007 study from the National Association of Home Builders, concrete tile is one of only three roofing materials that will last a lifetime. The other two are clay tile and copper – both prohibitively expensive when compared to concrete tile.
Tile Roof Maintenance
One thing that tile roof owners sometimes fail to understand is that even though their high quality cement tile roof is warrantied for a lifetime, it still needs maintenance from time to time. Every so many years, depending on the amount of vegetation you have around your house, the gutters need to be cleaned. The tile valleys may need to be completely taken apart and the debris cleaned out under the tile pieces. The flashings and the chimney areas may need to be cleaned out. Proper maintenance of your tile roof will give you many years of service from your roof.
