The Advantages of Stucco & Tile Roof Homes

Stucco - Durability

• Compared to other types of siding, stucco is a durable material and is able to withstand all types of weather conditions. The breathability factor in stucco means that the material does not trap moisture, so rot and fungus will not develop. Stucco is also fire and impact resistant to protect itself against the elements. The material doesn't need to be painted and requires low maintenance.

Stucco - Cost

• In addition to saving money on maintenance, according to SignatureContractors.com, stucco will add value to the home and increase its market value. Because the material is resistant to all types of weather conditions, it makes for a good insulator. Stucco can help keep the inside of a home cool when it's hot outside and warm when the weather begins to cool. This can help homeowners save money on energy bills each month.

Tile Roofing - Durability

• Roof 101 reports that cement tile roofing will generally receive a lifetime warranty and can withstand up to 400 pounds of pressure without any reinforcement. Cement tile roofing can withstand all types of weather conditions and will not rust, burn or rot. Concrete Thinker shows that concrete tile roofing installed on European homes more than 100 years ago is still in good condition.

Tile Roofing - Aesthetics

Having different color choices can improve the aesthetics of a home. Also, because of the durability, the color of the tile roofing will not fade or discolor.
