Cheap Roofing Buying & Installation Guide

Tile roofing refers to any type of hard roofing made up of individual tiles, rather than shingles 1, which are made of flexible asphalt 2 covered in granules. These tiles were traditionally made of clay, but can now be found in other materials as well, such as concrete and metal. Tile roofs are also long lasting, durable, and are resistant to hail damage and moisture as well as flame. Tile roofs are frequently installed on certain architectural styles, including Southwestern, and are also beneficial in very dry climates where fires are a concern. They’re also energy efficient and can last upwards of 50 years, giving them the lowest cost per life cycle of any roofing material currently on the market.

Tile roofs are heavy, however, and may require substantial rebuilding of a roof deck before installation.

Tile roofs cost between $120 and $250 a square (100 square feet) for material; for a 1,500 square foot roof, you will need 15 squares. Concrete tiles costing the least and clay tiles cost the most, while composite and stone-covered metal cost less. Many roofs switching to tile can expect to pay between $1,000 and $10,000 just in roof reinforcement alone, with an added $7,000 to $10,000 in labor fees.The average homeowner with a 1,500 sq.ft. roof can expect to pay around $20,000 for a new tile roof.

Test search Roofs perform such an essential function that “keeping a roof over your head” is synonymous with the very concept of home. When it comes to maintaining your investment, the smartest money you spend could be on this project. So, while paying $5,000 to $10,000 or more for this project might seem high, understand that there is good reason. A lot of time, effort and equipment is involved in keeping your installation up to snuff.

Outlined in this guide are in-depth prices to give you a realistic sense of installation rates and what’s involved in the process. Always get quotes from at least 3 to 4 professionals so that you get an accurate range that’s within a margin of $2,000 to $3,000. If you’re not sure that you even need this service, hiring a roof inspector costs $100 to $300 and can be very helpful in your decision process.

Damage to the Roof

Reroofing a house costs an average of $8,168, with most homeowners spending between $5,375 and $10,992. The project typically involves removing the existing shingles, making spot repairs to the underlying shingle, and installing new shingles. It’s important to note that this price fluctuates depending on factors like:

  • Size
  • Pitch
  • How it’s installed on your frame/deck
  • Products and supplies
  • Layers
  • Code requirements
  • Skylights, chimneys, plumbing pipes or other features

When you’re getting an estimate, it’s important to know they’re going to quote you on a “per square” basis. For these projects, 100 square feet is considered a roofing square.

Types of Roofs

Not all tile roofs are the same. The material that makes up your roof could impact your final cost, reinforcements of the roof, and installation procedure as well as its final style.

Enhancements and Improvement Cost

Gutter Cleaning

Your roof may require pointing to seal in the ridge caps and make the roof watertight, as well as to adhere them better to the roof. This is the process of troweling on a material over the ridge caps to create a flexible skin. This will need to be redone periodically, and costs around $1,500 to $2,500.

Flashing replacement

Solar roof tiles that can work with a tile roof are available, often alternating materials across the pattern. Costs are around $2,450 for 100 square feet.

Framing Repair

If you desire a specific color, pattern, or size of roof tile, it may be possible to have them custom made. This is usually done to match older roofs that need repair but could be done for an entire roof. Costs vary but will start around $300 a square.

Additional Considerations and Costs
  • Unless the tiles have been treated, they may stain due to algae and moss growth; this may require periodic cleaning.
  • Get a total quote in writing with a breakdown of what is included in the price. Keep in mind that a roofer may quote based on what they can see, but the cost may change once work begins if unforeseen damage or complications come to light.
  • Tile is heavy; if you are purchasing locally this may be delivered for free, but long-distance shipping can add up to $1,000 to your final bill. Get a shipping quote up front, particularly if you are in a rural area.
  • Always hire a fully licensed and insured roofing contractor to perform the installation.
  • Old roofing must be removed before a tile roof can be installed. Clearing the roof deck allows it to be repaired and reinforced if necessary. Take this time to consider adding insulation to improve your energy efficiency over time.
  • Walking on a tile roof may chip, crack, or shatter the tiles. DIY repair is not possible; always have a trained professional work on your roof
