Are tile roofs more expensive?

Yes, tile roofs are generally more expensive than other roofing options because they require skilled installation and high-quality materials. Installing a tile roof costs an average of $17,500, which is nearly double the cost of asphalt shingles and more than a standard metal roof. However, clay tile roofs offer exceptional durability and can last over 100 years, providing lasting protection for your home and potentially saving you money in the long run.

How many years does a tile roof last?

When properly maintained, tile roofs have exceptional longevity. Concrete tile roofs can last 50 years or more, while clay and terracotta tiles can endure beyond 100 years. By performing regular maintenance and prompt repairs, you can extend the lifespan of your tile roof and ensure it continues to protect your home effectively.

How many roof tiles are in a square?

A "square" in roofing terms equals 100 square feet. Depending on the dimensions, shape, and design of each tile, the number of roof tiles in a square ranges between 100 and 350. Knowing this helps you understand the material requirements for full coverage and optimal water resistance so you can work with your roofer to make an informed decision about your roofing project.

Can you walk on a tile roof?

It's not advisable to walk on a tile roof. Stepping on the tiles increases the risk of damaging them, which can compromise your roof's integrity. Walking on the roof can chip or fracture the tiles, leading to leaks and costly repairs. For safety and lasting performance, avoid accessing your tile roof and rely on professionals for any necessary work.

Do not hesitate for your next painting service and get the job done right with MyHouse Painting Company.

"Regrettably, I have to give this merchant a highly negative review due to substantial mismanagement and damage they inflicted on various areas of my home. They blatantly disregarded instructions to avoid my newly installed windows and doors, thus voiding the warranty provided by the installation vendor. This has compelled us to completely replace these items which will be a $10,000+ expense. The merchant also attempted to remove negligently applied paint from the windows and flooring using putty/painters knives, causing damage to the glass and other surfaces. They used thinning agents on finished steps and inappropriately applied paint/tape on numerous surfaces. The merchant also haphazardly placed ladders without any surface protection, leaving the floors scratched and scuffed. Despite clear instructions not to use certain types of tape on finished hardwood floors, the merchant persisted in using high adhesive masking tape. This contravened the project manager's instructions and resulted in further damage. There were days when they failed to show up, and it was evident our project manager was also clueless about the whereabouts of the staff members who were supposed to complete the job. The merchant falsely claimed a daily crew of five individuals, when only two were typically present. There was also a clear communication issue, as none of the painters spoke English, leading to misunderstandings between the project manager and the painting crews. The owner was noticeably absent during the job's duration and failed to provide on-site quality checks despite multiple complaints about the project manager's performance. The merchant also neglected their contractual obligations by failing to prepare surfaces or repair damage before priming and painting the windows and doors. This has led to additional labor costs after their dismissal. To add insult to injury, they damaged the laundry room and other rooms walls, fireplace, and did not repair or paint the doors and trim as promised in the original bid-spec. Their project manager, Tom, rudely interrupted a conversation I was having with another contractor, insisting they would address any damaged areas without covering the repair costs. Their discourtesy, negligence, and substandard workmanship led to their dismissal from the project. Their claim of nearing project completion is baseless, as many rooms exhibited major deficiencies and required significant work after their dismissal. In conclusion, I cannot endorse this merchant due to their unprofessionalism, shoddy workmanship, and disregard for clear instructions. Their assertion of 90% project completion is wholly unjustified, and they have left no record of the damages they caused on my property for credit-card chargebacks. I strongly advise withholding payment until the job's successful completion if you choose to employ them."

"The person who scheduled my appointment was very nice. The employee who came to my home was great -- he looked at the ceiling stain and then got on my roof to check all of the vents. He could not find a problem with any of the vents, but readily agreed to do a "water test" (take a hose up and run water on the vent area) when I requested it. While the water was running he checked the overall condition of my roof and gutters -- even pulled several handfuls of gunk out of the gutters. He was very thorough and nice about answering my many questions. The water test did not change the ceiling stain and he recommended I talk to a plumber regarding a possible plumbing problem. He didn't charge me as he said that he hadn't fixed anything -- but I felt very reassured having had the roof checked. Will definitely use Tesson in the future!"
