CONCRETE TILE ROOF REPAIR APACHE JUNCTION

LONG LIFESPAN – Concrete tile roofs are a long lasting and durable roofing option that lasts about 50 to 60 years. On average that is about 30 years longer than traditional shingle roofs. As a matter of fact the concrete tiles themselves will typically last longer than the underlayment under them.

VISUAL APPEAL – Tile roofing captures the spirit of the Southwest with the natural coloring that stays true to the desert surroundings year round. The earth toned materials speak to the red rocks, red dirt, sand, and other elements in nature.

NATURAL INSULATOR – During the hotter months keeping energy bills low is more than a concern, it is a way of life in the Phoenix area. Residents invest in insulation in walls, floors, and attics. Concrete tiles offer an additional layer of insulation from heat for your home. Using light colored concrete tiles reduces the heat load on your insulation and helps keep your attic and home cooler. The better you control the temperature in your attic the less the ducts in your attic are affected by the cold of winter or the heat of summer. That translates into lower energy bills all year long.

GREAT DURABILITY – While clay roofing tiles can last longer, they are more fragile. If it is necessary to have workers on your roof maintaining the chimney or working on satellite systems concrete roofing tiles are a superior option. They also weather strong storms better than clay roofing tiles. The durability of the roofing tiles is important because it only takes one damaged tile to be the weak link that leads to leaks. Concrete will resist breaking and cracking if there is a big storm rolls through or it necessary for workers to be on the roof.

FIREPROOF ROOFING – Concrete tiles are not flammable. If your home ends up having a fire concrete roofing tiles will assist in preventing the spread of fire through the roof. Because concrete tiles are not a flammable material they will help increase the time for the fire department to get to your home and put out the flames.

SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL – Concrete tile is one of the highest quality roofing materials when it comes to the the environment. Raw materials used to make the tiles are abundant and naturally occurring and the production leaves a small carbon footprint. Best of all the materials are 100% recyclable. In 50 or 60 years when the roofing might be taken off the materials can be sent to a recycling plant to be recycled and reused.

VARIETY OF COLORS – Concrete roof tiles are offered in a wide variety of shapes and colors. This gives homeowner’s the ability to customize the look to match the style of the home and architecture. With the intense Arizona sun in Apache Junction concrete roofing will fade eventually. Clay does have an advantage in maintaining color when they are glazed. They will still fade, just not as much.

COST OF CONCRETE TILES – Tile roofs last longer than many other roofing options. The cost difference between clay and concrete is significant. The difference per square foot of roof covered can be about double for clay tiles compared with concrete tiles. That means a roof that costs $15,000 dollars to cover with concrete tiles can cost $25,000 or more for clay tiles. Concrete tile gives you the color options, lifespan, and cost less than clay.
