Does Tile Make Sense for a Atlanta Roof?

Tile is a premium option, and the upfront cost reflects that — often starting around $15,000. What you get in return is a roof built to last, frequently outperforming shingles by several decades when it's installed correctly.

Why Underlayment Matters So Much

Tile handles most of the water shedding, but the underlayment underneath is what actually keeps a roof watertight over time. Given Atlanta's hail and heavy snow, a synthetic or double-layer underlayment system offers meaningfully better protection than a single layer of traditional felt.
