On a 25 square roof that gap is more than 8,000 pounds.<\/p>\n<h3>What we could not source<\/h3>\n<p>We wanted to print how many times heavier tile runs than asphalt. No shingle maker we checked publishes a weight a square on a warranted data sheet, so we print no multiple.<\/p>\n<h2>The code sets a weight line and a slope line<\/h2>\n<p>The 2021 model code puts three numbers on a tile roof. Section R905.3.2 floors the slope at 2-1\/2:12. From there up to 4:12 the underlayment goes on double.<\/p>\n<p>Section R905.3.7 carries the line nobody quotes. Tiles under 9 pounds a square foot installed need a fastener each, whatever the slope. That is 900 pounds a square, right through the middle of the table above.<\/p>\n<p>Then the tile overrides you upward. Ludowici asks 3:12 for Americana 16, 4:12 for Spanish 18 and 5:12 for Straight Barrel Mission 16, and R905.3.7 makes those instructions binding.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sw__callout\">\n<p><strong>Check the profile&#8217;s own minimum slope before you price it.<\/strong> A roof that clears the code floor can still fall short of the tile you specified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The underlayment and battens are the priceable part<\/h2>\n<p>Tile gets quoted by a distributor.

Ludowici warrants its clay for 75 years.<\/p>\n<p>So the first job due is a lift and relay. The tile comes off and gets stacked, felt and battens go back new, and the same tile goes down again.<\/p>\n<p>Price it in hours. The May 2025 federal wage survey puts the roofer median at $26.65 an hour across 135,490 roofers. That is a wage an employer pays an employee, not what you bill, and the survey leaves out the self employed.<\/p>\n<h2>Why this page prints no price a square<\/h2>\n<p>Eagle and Ludowici publish specifications, never prices. Do it Best, Sutherlands and McCoy&#8217;s do not list a single clay or concrete roof tile.<\/p>\n<p>Every installed figure we found traced back to a lead generation cost guide.
