Getting tiles on roof.

This is not a problem for basic materials such as nails and so forth but for shingles it quickly becomes a major chore. This is offset though by the long life a tile roof will enjoy. Other than carrying them up a ladder in small batches is there an alternative way to get this done with less effort and faster. Cedar shakes shingles.

Concrete tile roofs are more economical with costs of 400 to 450 per square. A clay tile roof system can cost two to three times as much as an asphalt roofing system. Obviously the cheapest but also the most physically taxing method is simply carrying the roofing materials by hand onto the roof. Tiles have a flat smooth surface so they don t offer a lot of grip when you step on them.
