Clay roof tiles offer a distinctive aesthetic and excellent durability, lasting for many decades. They are fire-resistant and can help insulate your home, potentially reducing energy costs. However, they are heavier than asphalt shingles and can be more expensive to install. The weight requires a strong roof structure. Clay tiles can also be brittle and susceptible to breakage if walked on improperly. We can assess if they are suitable for your home.

Beyond clay, you can find roof tiles made from concrete, slate, and composite materials. Concrete tiles are a more budget-friendly option that mimics the look of clay or slate. Slate tiles offer a natural, high-end appearance and incredible longevity but are very heavy and costly. Composite tiles are lighter and more affordable, often resembling natural materials. Each type has specific installation requirements and benefits for St. Paul's weather.

Installing metal roofing involves preparing the roof deck, ensuring it's clean and sound. A protective underlayment is applied, followed by the metal panels, which are carefully secured with specialized fasteners. The seams are sealed to create a watertight barrier. Proper flashing around vents, chimneys, and edges is critical. The process requires precision to ensure durability and weather resistance. We ensure this is done correctly.

Roof sealant is a material used to patch small cracks, gaps, or seams on a roof to prevent leaks. It's often applied around flashing, vents, or where shingles may be damaged. While effective for minor repairs, sealant is not a substitute for a full roof replacement or significant repair. A professional assessment is needed to determine if sealant is appropriate for your situation. We can help evaluate your needs.
