Evaluating the Value of a Tile Roof
Tile roofs are a popular choice in Arizona. Starting prices often exceed $15,000, but their durability and energy efficiency can provide significant long-term savings. When installed correctly, these roofs can last over 50 years, far outlasting standard shingles.
The Role of Underlayment
While tile roofs effectively channel water, the underlayment serves as the primary waterproof barrier. Given Arizona's heat can deteriorate organic felts quickly, we recommend synthetic or double-layer systems (SBS) for optimal protection against heavy monsoon rains.
