Maintenance on an old historical home can be complicated, because you want to keep the character of the home while at the same time making the home efficient. If you have a boral clay tile roof that has had some damage, but you think the majority of the structure of the roof is in good condition, it's time to get a roofing company to the property.
Clay tile roofs can last for decades if cared for and maintained properly throughout the ownership of the house. Here are some reasons why you want to keep that clay tile roof.
Clay Tiles are Low Cost
The cost of clay tiles is low in comparison to other highly durable roofing materials. The clay is more affordable than slate or concrete shingles. This means you are getting a high-quality and highly-efficient roof covering option, at a lower cost to help make the roof maintenance a good investment for both your wallet and the home.
Clay is Energy Efficient
This roofing material will regulate the temperature of your home. The clay will not allow the heat to pass through the surface of the tile to the inside of your home, preventing high-temperature UV rays from making the house hot. Air can circulate throughout the individual tiles, preventing heat from getting trapped at the base of the roof. The clay also is a barrier to prevent cold air from escaping the property when the air conditioning is running.
Single Tiles Can be Replaced
If there are damages to single tiles, a roofing contractor can repair the individual tiles that need care and leave the rest of the roof intact. This means that the entire roof doesn't have to be pulled up, or multiple surrounding shingles. This makes for a fast and affordable repair job.
Not only is a clay tile roof durable and energy efficient, but the style adds to the character and the appeal of your home. Talk with the roofing professionals to get quotes and to find out what it will cost to restore the tile roof that you have.
If there are large trees or specific hazards that are causing damage risks around your home, these are things you'll want to also address with the roofing contractor. Some of these risks may have to be removed so that you don't have to worry about future damage to the roof.
