01 Penny Not recommended This is what most other contractors sell as their standard tile roof

Standard-set concrete tile, no adhesive foam system

  • Cheapest price on the market
  • Only 2-yr contractor warranty (vs. 7–10+ yrs on other plans)
  • No AH-160 Dual Adhesive Foam — lower wind-rated attachment
  • No rake tiles — exposed edges are a common leak & blow-off point
  • No urethane detailing at flashings/walls
  • No wind-mitigation report — costs more in insurance than you save
  • No driveway cleaning, dedicated PM, or 24-hr service line
