There are so many options out there when it comes to choosing a new roof. In this article, we will be discussing the pros and cons of selecting a clay tile roof in Wisconsin. 

Pros:

A Clay Tile Roof is Durable

A clay tile roof is one of the most durable roofing materials out there. It can withstand the assault from heavy winds and heavy rain. Clay tile roofs are also fire resistant and can withstand moisture. 

Life Expectancy of a Clay Tile Roof

A clay tile roof is long-lasting. It can last as long as 100 years if it is properly maintained!

Clay Tile Roof Energy Savings

A clay tile roof will insulate your home more effectively than most other roofing materials can.

Environmentally Friendly 

Clay tile roofs consist of natural materials. 

Curb Appeal

Clay tile is beautiful and has excellent curb appeal. They come in a variety of colors and styles. 

Low Maintenance

Clay tile roofs are low maintenance. If one tile is damaged, all you have to do is replace that tile.

Cons:

Expensive

Clay tile roofing in Wisconsin is expensive. That means that only a select group of roofers will even take a clay tile roofing job which makes your choices for a professional limited and thus that much more expensive than something more conservative. These roofs are hard to install need to hire an expert; this is not a project you should attempt to do on your own. 

Brittle

Even though a clay tile roof is durable, it is still brittle. If a group of workers decides to stomp around on your clay roof, it won’t end very well for the roof. 

Heavy

Clay tile roofs are heavy if the home is not strong enough to support the roof; it may need extra roof support. Talk to your contractor to see if clay tile roofing is the right match for your home.
