Choose the material and profile
Clay and concrete tile offer different products and finishes. Weight, roof slope, fastening requirements, and structural suitability narrow the choices before appearance does.
Price the assembly underneath
Underlayment, flashings, battens where required, attachment, and penetrations are central to the proposal. The tile surface alone is not a complete roof.
Plan for handling and access
Delivery, staging, roof access, and protection of the property affect installation. Discuss how existing tile will be removed and materials managed on the site.
Ask about future repairs
Confirm the product and keep documentation. Replacement-tile availability, safe access, and inspection needs are worth considering before selecting the system.
Make it specific to your home.
