Tile Roofing Prices
On average, tile roofs cost $700 to $800 per square to install, though they can cost anywhere between $400 and $1,000 per square (square = 100 SF). Tiles come in clay or concrete but can be shaped in many different ways even to the point of looking like wood shake. Terracotta clay is a popular choice for clay roofs because, unlike regular clay or concrete, it won’t change color with age. Concrete will fade while clay will actually get darker, but terracotta can maintain its color because it gets baked into the clay. Many ancient terracotta artifacts still retain the color they had when they were first made.
