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.

Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"TLDR - Took my deposit and NO-SHOWED THE JOB 3 TIMES! All I have is a leaky roof and a useless warranty since they took my deposit and did not bother to show up. I have to say that working with this team has been absolutely brutal from the jump - getting a hold of Evan or even Sydney has been a nightmare. I just bought our home and the warranty of the old owner?s roof transferred to me. It?s a new roof so obviously I would want to work with the warranty; however, this has proven to not be so easy. Our roof had a leak at the beginning of August around our skylights. I decided I wanted to roof over them and called Big Buckle since using another contractor would void our warranty. Not only was it like pulling teeth to get Evan out here to look at the roof initially (I would have worked with another company at that point but since the warranty was with them I felt like my hands were tied) but they ended up no-showing three separate times while having my money for this project. Useless. "

"We hired Red Sky to install a new shingle roof on our house. We interviewed a couple of businesses but Red Sky not only gave use a good price, but the owner, John Camp, seemed like a honest guy. On the scheduled start day, the crew showed up on time and promptly started working. The crew worked for two days. The first day they worked 10 hours, the second day they worked 12 hours. They were efficient and knew what they were doing. They had to bring in a large crane to take the swamp cooler off our roof and then place it back. It all went smoothly. Communication with John and his son Colin was excellent. We were kept informed of what was going on and what to expect next. Roofing crews can sometimes be messy, but this crew was pretty tidy. Only little bits of this and that littered the ground but all of it was picked up. They finished the job on time (with an unexpected rain delay) and they charged us what they said they said they would. Excellent work! "

Had one heavy rainstorm since the work was completed with no issues, so time will tell. Satisfied with the pricing also. Would use Chuck again."
