Sometimes also referred to as ceramic roof tiles, this material is a very popular choice for many homeowners looking to add a touch of elegance and durability to their homes.

Durable and Long-Lasting

One of the main features of clay roof tiles is their durability and longevity. This classic style of roofing can last for decades, even centuries, with proper maintenance and care. They can withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, and intense heat. Since they don’t rot, they are also resistant to pests. Likewise, since they are non-combustible, they are highly resistant to fire, making them a safe option for homes in areas prone to wildfires.

Low Maintenance

A ceramic tile roof is also easy to maintain. For instance, they do not rot or attract pests. They can be cleaned easily with a mild detergent solution and a soft-bristled brush. They are resistant to fading and discoloration, so they will retain their original color for many years. They also do not require regular painting or staining like other roofing materials.

Attractive Look

Another advantage of these roofing tiles are their aesthetic appeal. Terracotta tiles come in a variety of colors, styles, and shapes, making it easy to find a style that complements the architecture of your home. They also have a unique texture that adds character and charm to any home.

Eco-Friendly

This product is also environmentally friendly, as it is made from natural materials and is recyclable. It also has a low impact on the environment during its production and use.

Energy Efficiency

Another advantage of this roofing system is its ability to cool the attic space, this is due to the natural ventilation that occurs through the tile, which can help to reduce energy costs. Additionally, it is available in a variety of colors and styles, making it easy to find a design that complements the overall aesthetic of the home.

Disadvantages

  • One of the main drawbacks is their weight. They are heavier than many other types of roofing materials and may require additional structural support for the roof. This is something to consider when choosing this material for your home, and it is important to consult with a professional roofing contractor like us to ensure that your home’s structure can support the weight of the heavy and dense terracotta tiles.
  • Because their installation is very labor-intensive, they can be more expensive than other types of roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles. However, the long-lasting durability and aesthetic appeal of a clay tile roof make it a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.
  • Another disadvantage is that terracotta tile roofs are brittle and can crack or break easily if they are not handled properly during installation or if they are subjected to heavy impacts. They are also not recommended for areas with heavy snowfall or high winds, as they can be easily damaged. In addition, clay tile roofs require regular maintenance to ensure they last as long as possible. This includes regular cleaning and inspection to ensure they are in good condition.
  • Roof tiles made from ceramic or clay can also be difficult to install. They require a skilled professional who has experience working with this type of material. This can add to the cost of installation, but it also ensures that the tiles are installed properly, which will help to prolong their lifespan.

Finally, these tiles can be more difficult to install than traditional shingles which is why it is important to work with a professional roofing contractor like us that has the necessary skills in working with this material and to ensure that your roof is properly installed and maintained.

What Our Customers Say

The day before our house was scheduled for listing photos (because of course it had to be then), a storm rolled through and punched a hole straight through our ceiling. Rain pouring down the walls like Mother Nature decided to stress-test our home value.Cue Reimagine Roofing. Within minutes, Natalie answered the phone like the calm in the storm. She was kind, informative, and fast. She got things moving before I even had time to fully panic. Then came Shane (inside sales pro) and Isaac (field customer rep), the dynamic duo who handled everything like seasoned pros. They were responsive, honest, and efficient. They somehow managed to make the whole thing not miserable.By the time they were done, the hole was fixed, the stress was gone, and the house was ready for its close-up. Seriously, if you want a company that treats your home emergency like their own (and does it with zero nonsense), call Reimagine Roofing. These folks are the real deal.

After the recent heavy rains, we discovered roof leaks on both our home and patio that were starting to cause interior damage. With the weekend approaching, I called at least a dozen companies trying to get an emergency inspection. Reimagine was the only one that said they could make it out the next day and I’m so glad they did.Isaac arrived right on time, was incredibly friendly, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He quickly identified the issues: our roof was over ten years old, and the underlayment had deteriorated from years of sun and weather exposure. Reimagine’s team replaced the entire underlayment, installed new shingles on the patio roof, and repaired any rotted wood and broken tiles they found along the way.The crew was professional, respectful, and their attention to detail was impressive especially their daily cleanup, which left the area spotless at the end of each day. Our project liaison stayed in constant communication with updates, so we always knew what was happening and when.Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the quality of work, professionalism, and communication from Reimagine. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in need of roofing repairs or replacement.
