Columbia Concrete Shakes in the Charcoal color were used for this home’s addition. The existing roof had Columbia Tiles installed previously, and the same product was installed on the new dormer roof. Several of the original tiles were retained and reused on the new roof lines. Jerry, the owner of the home was extremely helpful throughout the project, providing help during the installation and great hospitality. He was also very familiar with the special Velux tile flashing kits used on the four 2x4 Velux Skylights. Although Tile roofs are very heavy and time consuming to install, they are a great option for homes built with longevity and sustainability in mind, as Columbia offers a 50 year limited warranty.
