Yeah, good points. But honestly, I've noticed tile roofs can be tricky with cracked tiles too—sometimes they're hard to spot until leaks start. Maybe regular checks every year or two wouldn't hurt...?
- Tile roofs aren't exactly maintenance-free... cracked tiles are sneaky, like you said.
- Quick visual checks every year or two help catch issues early.
- Seen plenty of leaks from unnoticed cracks—better safe than sorry.
"Quick visual checks every year or two help catch issues early."
True, but honestly, even annual checks might miss those sneaky cracks. Tile roofs can be deceptive—looking sturdy and reliable until suddenly they're not. I've seen neighbors scrambling with buckets during surprise storms because of unnoticed hairline fractures. Makes me wonder... wouldn't it be smarter to explore roofing options that are genuinely lower-maintenance and eco-friendly? Just a thought.
Tile roofs being "maintenance-free" is a bit of a myth, honestly. I remember my folks' place had tiles—looked rock solid until one particularly nasty hailstorm revealed hidden cracks everywhere. Switched to a green roof afterward... fewer surprises and bonus points for sustainability.
- Totally agree, tile roofs aren't exactly "set it and forget it."
- Had tiles on my first house—looked great, but every few years I'd find sneaky little cracks or loose tiles after storms.
- Green roofs sound awesome, though... always liked the idea of having a mini garden overhead. How's the upkeep on that? Seems like a fair trade-off for fewer surprise leaks.
