FAQ: What are the different types of tile roofing you install?
🏺 1. Clay Tile Roofing
Why homeowners love it:
Rich, natural colors that won’t fade
Fire-resistant and insect-proof
Can last 75–100 years with proper care
Excellent in hot, sunny climates like Georgia
Good to know:
Heavy—your home must be structurally ready
More expensive up front than other tile options
Best suited for Spanish or Mediterranean-style homes
🧱 2. Concrete Tile Roofing
Benefits:
Less expensive than clay
Comes in many styles (flat, low-profile, barrel)
Durable and fire-resistant
Typically lasts 40–50 years
Things to consider:
Also a heavy material (structural review needed)
More porous than clay, so proper sealing and underlayment are important
Concrete tile is a great middle-ground—timeless style with manageable cost.
🔩 3. Synthetic (Composite) Tile Roofing
Why it’s popular in North Georgia:
Lightweight and easy to install
Mimics the look of clay, slate, or cedar
Hail- and impact-resistant (some rated Class 4)
Lower cost and fewer structural concerns
This is ideal for homeowners who want the look of real tile without the weight or higher install cost.

FAQs: Tile Roofing with L&L Roofing
Q: Can I switch from shingles to tile?
A: Yes, but we’ll first check your roof structure to ensure it can support the weight. If not, synthetic tile is a strong alternative.
Q: How long does a tile roof last?
A: Clay: 75–100 years. Concrete: 40–50 years. Synthetic: 30–50 years.
It’s one of the longest-lasting roof types available.
Q: What colors or profiles do you offer?
A: We carry multiple tile brands with dozens of color and shape options. We'll bring samples to your home to match your style.
Q: Are tile roofs energy efficient?
A: Yes. Tile naturally resists heat and allows airflow, which helps lower cooling costs in Georgia's hot summers.
