Need a new roof!?
My parents are looking to have their roof re-done. I recently got an estimate. The guy told me that he can tile over the old tiles for $4,000 but if I wanted him to rip everything out it’ll cost me $10,000. Is it safe to retile over old tiles? Has anyone ever done this before? Also what are your thoughts on putting solar panels on the roof, can this be expensive? My last question is, what’s the best time of tile out there, with the longest warranty?
Tiling over the old tiles will put a lot of weight load on a roof. ..very bad idea.
Photo-voltaic (direct conversion of sun light to electricity) solar panels can add up to a lot of cost, but if one is in a place where there a lot of sunny days, it may be worth it. Also, if you live in an area prone to heavy hail storms, insurance and replacement cost for panels would have to be taken inti account.
