What drives the cost

Tile-roof cost is driven by material (concrete tile is cheaper than clay or slate), roof pitch, and structural needs — tile is heavy, so framing sometimes has to be reinforced. Tile lasts 50+ years and excels in hot, sunny climates but costs more to install than asphalt or metal.
