year warranty or a heavyweight laminate
like CertainTeeds Grand Manor with a
Lifetime warranty. Fiberglass shingles
carry a Class A fire rating and are
very walkable.
Cedar Shakes
Cedar shakes if untreated will only
last 10-15 years. Treated cedar shakes
with preservatives will last up to 50
years.
Tile Roofs-Slate
Roofs
Concrete Tile weighs approximately
10 pounds per square foot.
Lightweight Tile is made up
of lightweight cement and wood or cellulose
fibers. Weight is 6 to 8 pounds per
square foot. A new home that specifies
tile will have the proper structure
to hold the weight of the tile. For
an older home you should have your home
checked to see if it can handle the
weight load.
Slate Roofs – Other
simulated shake and slate products which
weigh less than 4 pounds per square
foot can be used on your home. They
can be more expensive but you may not
have to put more support in your attic.
Discuss available options for your
home when an experienced estimator comes
to your home free of charge. The estimator
will outline your needs and provide
information about the best products
to suit you. We strive to do a quality
job at an affordable price. |
