What are the Pros and Cons of Tile Roofing?

Tile Roofing is one of the most beautiful roofing options available on the market today. They provide homes with exceptional curb appeal and can last a lifetime when taken care of properly. However, tile roofing is one of the most expensive roofing options available and can cause quite a strain on the structures of older homes. Like most things in life, tile roofing comes with its fair share of advantages and disadvantages.

Whether you opt for tile roofing or not, you can rest assured that our trusted roofing specialists will do an excellent job laying your brand new roof for you. At Texas Select Construction, we offer professional commercial and residential roofing services in the city of Fort Worth.

Advantages

Incredible Curb Appeal

Tile roofing is by far the best roofing option if you’re looking for exceptional quality and style. It provides your home with a beautiful Mediterranean aesthetic and is available in varying styles and colors. Tile roofing can be made from ceramic, terracotta, slate, clay and concrete roofing materials. It allows you to style and customize the roof of your home to suit your unique preferences.

Lasts A Lifetime

One of the great things about tile roofing is that if you take care of it properly it will last you a lifetime. Tile roofing is incredibly durable and can withstand just about the fiercest weather conditions, rot, UV rays, fires and insect infestation. The maintenance of tile roofing is pretty easy and can be done by you or by your trusted Texas Select Construction roofers.

Increase Your Home’s Value

Installing an expertly laid tile roof will automatically improve the resale price of your home, making the installation of tile roofing the perfect home investment. And because a tile roof will pretty much last a lifetime, you’ll never have to replace your roof and will thus be saving on your original investment.

Disadvantages

Expensive Roofing Option

While we can admit that tile roofing has many advantages, we have to recognize that it is one of the most expensive roofing options on the market. Tile roofing is out of reach for many homeowners but sometimes there are some tax benefits that you can reap with a tile roof. There are cheaper roofing options out there for your home with an equal amount of roofing benefits.

Heavier Than Other Roofing Options

Tile roofing is made from either slate, ceramic, terracotta, clay or concrete. These roofing options are a lot heavier than asphalt shingles, metal or cedar roofing options. Heavier roofing materials can place quite a strain on the structure of your home and some homes might not be equipped for a tile roof.

I used Texas Select Construction to replace my ten year old roof with a brand new roof. David and John came out to my house and provide a detailed estimate. The work was performed earlier than expected and completed all work in one day. Crew worked after dark to do a thorough clean up including rolling the yard to pick up all roofing nails. Texas Select Construction has the best customer service. I have recommended them to my family, friends and neighbors.

David and John were amazing to work with on the install of our new Class 4 roof and custom covered patio. They took a dream and a photo and made it a reality. It was exactly what I wanted. We had a small hiccup with flawed shingles and they immediately stopped the job, remedied it with the supplier, and had the job completed the next day. They were on time, took pride in workmanship, and delivered on every promise. The crews cleaned up after themselves and handled our home with care. Texas Select … More also took amazing care of a few friends and clients. We’re very happy that we chose to work with Texas Select Construction!

In October of 2022, I contacted Texas Select to help rebuild my house after a fire. David and his crew met with us and discussed what they could do and gave us a general timeline for the project. We had never built a house before and needed someone we could trust to get our home rebuilt. David worked with us and built the home we wanted. He kept us involved and informed all the way. By August we were back in our house.

We just had our roof done by Texas Select and are very happy. John was great in explaining everything to us. We had never had our roof done before and we were confused by the process and the insurance company. He took the time to explain everything to us. He also made sure everything that he said would be done did get done. We were so impressed by him that we decided to go with him over a family member that also owns a roofing company. John is a very nice and professional guy. He left us feeling … More confident about our budget and our home. John also recommended a better ventalation system then the one the other company qouted us for. They even came back and fixed a few things that got a little messed up in the process and they made it right. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get roof work done.

Texas Select Construction is hands down the best roofing contractor I have EVER dealt with. John Naylor not only anticipated but took care of every need/question that arose. He is very thorough throughout the entire process starting with the inspection, explaining the process, dealing with the insurance company, overseeing the re-roof, to helping pickup any nails that might have fallen in the street or on my neighbors property! I was kept updated during every phase of the job! They did what … More they said, when they said they would do it, the communication was great! Texas Select is my roofer for LIFE!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Texas Select Construction. From the first contact with Andy, our roofing coach, until the last nail was meticulously cleaned from our property, we could not have had a better experience. The entire crew worked so hard in this awful heat and did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Texas Select Construction. Request Andy. He will take care of you!
