While metal tile roofs have many advantages, there are three main disadvantages to consider as well. The first disadvantage is that they can be quite expensive upfront. However, this cost is often offset by long-term savings on energy costs and the longevity of the roof. Next, a metal tile roof can be quite noisy during heavy rain or hail. However, this can be mitigated by adding insulation to the attic and using a special type of soundproofing underlayment to the roof deck.
Finally, these tiles can be more difficult to install than traditional shingles which is why it is important to work with a professional roofing contractor like us that has the necessary skills in working with this material and to ensure that your roof is properly installed and maintained.
