The Main Benefits to Getting a Tile Roof in Coral Springs
June 24, 2020
Looking for a tile roof replacement in Coral Springs FL?
Tile roofing is quite a popular option that many homeowners go with in Coral Springs FL. It has a great combination of both beauty and durability, making a new tile roof both aesthetically pleasing as well as a really good long term investment for the property.
For millennia human beings have been utilizing tile roofing on a multitude of structures. Tile offers people endless decorative possibilities with a large number of colors, shapes, sizes and profiles to work with. Without a doubt most people would find a tile roof more appealing than either a shingle, metal or wood option.
In addition to superior beauty, tile roofs are strong. They are resistant to water, fire, wind and insect damage, and in South Florida concrete tile typically lasts 40–50 years and clay 50+ — far longer than asphalt shingle. One honest caveat: the underlayment beneath the tile usually needs replacement at 15–25 years. That is normal mid-life service, not roof failure, and tile’s long lifespan remains a major plus for resale value.
With strength also comes versatility, no other roofing material offers the versatility that can be had with tile roofing. The clay and concrete can be molded to look like wood shakes, chipped stone, shingle style along with the more traditional barrel and s-shaped profiles.
Another strong selling point to getting a tile roof replacement
is the energy efficiency offered. Tile roofs do a great job of keeping in the heat during the winter for northern states, they do an equally good job of insulating the nice cold AC treated air that people in Coral Springs need so very much! This can lead to big savings on the monthly energy bill as well.
Tile roofing is also sustainable as the tile is made from raw materials rather than depleting the Earth’s limited natural resources. The tiles also contain no preservatives like asphalt shingle roofs do and any waste from production can easily be recycled back.
Perhaps outside of beauty and durability the best part of a tile roof is the investment. A new tile roof costs more up front than other materials — in 2026 a typical 2,000 sq ft concrete tile replacement in Coral Springs runs about $20,000–$28,000 installed — but the cost per year of service is much lower. Stay in the home for decades and it may be the only full replacement you ever buy; move, and the remaining lifespan is real resale value for the next owner.
