Not sure how bad is it after 20yrs. Also there is a condition where some is in bad shape and broken. You will have difficult to find the same shape and design tiles roof to replace. If it doesn't cost much to replace, why not.

Changing to normal roof tiles can be around 6k or more. But newer roof tiles quality are not as good as the old tiles, can be worse. This was what my contractor told me.

If change better change to the roof tiles with coating (glossy type) think is ceramic coat. But it can cost double.

The best roof tiles to replace is those new awning type. Combine with heat insulator, it is cheap, light weight, waterproof and thieftproof. The problem is, can you accept the design. Cause it look cheap.

Hm, roof tiles are sure as expensive as installing new floor tiles

But I should think its not that bad condition because the house was previously tenanted before I bought it although the tenants didn't maintain the cleanliness of the house well.  doh.gif 

Crossing my fingers that the roof tiles are in ok condition.

Ozak, you mean those awning as in polycarbonate roofing? If so, I was thinking something like those flat ones used for bus stop shelters in singapore.  tongue.gif

Does anyone also have an idea of the cost for pergola roofing used in car porch area (JB side) - I want to extend the car porch roof but the cost for concrete slab roof is really expensive for a car porch - was quoted a high cost for a full concrete slab and 10+k for half concrete slab roof add on to the existing car porch roof rclxub.gif

The awning type is something like this --> http://pinterest.com/kelliesmyers/awnings-and-metal-roof/

It is normal for western country.

Here, it getting famous and often you see from those new design house. 1 of the reason they using awning type roof is, the angle of the roof no need to be too step.
