FAQs for traditional tile roofing installation and replacement projects in Glenview, IL

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.

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.

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.

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.
