Can I Install Tile Roofing on My Own?

Nowadays, you can search the internet for a guide to do practically anything. A lot of the times, you can even find a guide to do something you would normally ask for professional help with. Well, if you're thinking about trying to install tiles on your roof, consider the following things you'll need to do:

  • Take the time to make sure that your roof is strong enough to handle the weight of a tile roof (which is often heavier than more common roofs).
  • Be sure to reinforce your roof against a possible collapse (I.e., make sure there aren't any rotting boards or beams).
  • Definitely order extra tiles so that you can account for possibly damaged tiles when you're handling them. It's best to aim for 25-40% of the tile amount you expect for your roof in total.
  • You need to use the appropriate underlayment for Athelstan, Iowa. Depending on what region you live in, the material recommended in an online guide you found online may not be suitable for your roof. Different temperature ranges, along with varying levels of humidity and moisture, will cause you to use the appropriate materials.
  • If you want the work to be done efficiently, you'll need to rent a boom lift in order to move those heavy tiles up to the roof.
  • You're going to have a lot of material you'll need to throw out in this repair, so you'll probably want to rent a dumpster (for all of the removed tile and possible damaged tiles in the process of the repair).
  • To make sure that tiles won't overlap unevenly, you need to implement the furring strips properly.
  • Of course, you'll need to consider regional building regulations and codes (I.e., the required permits and inspections).
  • If you don't want the tiles to get blown off, you need to be aware of any hips or ridges.

But that's all, really.

Replacing your roof is a huge investment, and nobody wants to make the wrong decision. You could try doing it yourself, but you'll probably end up with a leaky roof that will cost you more in repairs than if you had just called Cook Roofing from the start. Call us today at 515-305-3253 for an obligation-free estimate! We can help finance your deductible. If we're not able to help with financing, we can still get you started on getting your insurance claim process rolling by helping inspect your home and giving advice on how best to go about this process. Once we come out and give you an estimate, there's no pressure; take as much time as you need before making any decisions.

Tile Roofs Come In A Wide Variety

The Spanish Red tile roofs are iconic for New Mexico, but not Iowa. But that doesn't mean you can't own that style for your own home. There is a variety of styles and colors to complement any home design, including old world, southwest style roof tiles which can be made from slate or clay materials. Other possible profiles include barrel tile with glazed or natural finishes in uniform color tones such as white, grayish-browns, and earthy reds that will accentuate your exterior aesthetic beautifully, especially if you're looking for an alternative to the traditional brick look! You can call Cook Roofing Company today at 515-305-3253 to learn more about your options for a new tile roof.

The Average Price of Tile Roofs

A tile roof can cost 2-3 times the cost of a traditional shingle roof. That said, if you plan to stay in your home for quite some time and financing is available, it may be worth considering this durable option over other roofs that might need repairing more often. Whether or not you think about moving when replacing your old tiles, make sure an experienced installer installs them correctly so they last as long as possible! The average cost of your investment is $1200-$1800 per 100 sq/ft in Athelstan. Contact Cook Roofing Company at 515-305-3253 to get a professional roofer to assess your roofing situation.

FAQ

Does a tile roof keep a house cooler?

How long does a tile roof last?
A tile roof in the appropriate climate can last up to 100 years. Most manufacturers will give you a 50-year warranty for tile roofing, so the chances are that once you get a tile roof, you won't have to worry about a replacement for the remainder of your life.
What kind of tile roofs are there?
It depends on the style of tile roofing you want, but typically tile roofs can be made from concrete, slate, fired clay, terra cotta. There are many styles of tile roofing, including Spanish tiles, French tiles, Mediterranean, Double Roman tiles, and much more.
