Tile Roofing Installation
A damaged roof not only affects the appearance of your property but can also be a hazard. Missing or broken tiles can cause leaks that weaken the structure of your home. A dislodged tile will also affect those around it, meaning the problem could get worse if you do not get it fixed right away.
Whether you need a few new tiles or a whole new roof, attempting your own tile roof repair is difficult and potentially dangerous. It may also result in the problem not being fully fixed. Hiring a professional for your concrete or clay roof tile installation ensures the job is carried out to the highest standard, leaving you with a roof that is completely safe and secure.

What are the benefits of a tile roof?
A tile roof is highly durable and should last for several decades if it is properly maintained. It is an excellent choice if you live in an area with hot summers but heavy rainfall at other times of the year. Another bonus is that it looks great, and you can choose from many different styles and shapes to blend with the overall look of your home.
Are there any disadvantages of a tile roof?
Tiles are a versatile, durable, and attractive choice for most homes, but they are also very heavy, and you will need to ensure your home can support their weight. If not, you will need to pay for a roof reinforcement, which can add extra money onto the cost of your clay, terracotta, or concrete tile roof installation.
