Good points, but aren't tile roofs still way less maintenance-intensive than other options like asphalt shingles or wood shakes? I've seen plenty of asphalt roofs needing regular patch-ups after storms, while tile roofs in the same neighborhood held up pretty well. Sure, tiles can crack or slip occasionally, but isn't that usually a quick fix compared to dealing with widespread shingle damage or rot issues? Maybe not totally maintenance-free...but still pretty low-maintenance overall, right?
Yeah, tile roofs are pretty solid overall, but trust me—they're not bulletproof. Had a property with a tile roof that survived storms beautifully...until my neighbor's kid decided to practice baseball pitching nearby. Let's just say replacing cracked tiles isn't exactly fun, but still beats dealing with soggy shingles or rotting wood any day. Low-maintenance? Definitely. Maintenance-free? Nah, life's never that easy...

Haha, couldn't agree more. Had a similar situation myself—one of the tenants decided to mount a satellite dish without mentioning it, cracked two tiles in the process and didn't notice until the rain came. Tile roofs are great overall, but they're not exactly set-it-and-forget-it. Still, I'd take replacing a few tiles every now and then over dealing with constant leaks or moldy insulation any day...
Yeah, tile roofs definitely aren't bulletproof. When I bought my first place, I thought tiles meant zero hassle—until a storm knocked a branch loose and cracked a couple. Still, beats patching shingles every season or dealing with flat roof nightmares...
I dunno, tile roofs seem nice at first, but honestly, my neighbor has one and he's always grumbling about it. Last winter, ice built up under the tiles and caused leaks inside his attic—talk about a headache. Plus, whenever he needs repairs, it's way pricier than patching shingles. Makes me wonder if the upfront cost and occasional expensive fixes are really worth it compared to simpler options...
