Huntington Beach Concrete Roof

Advantages of the Concrete Roof

One of the best advantages of a concrete roof is that it’s very durable. It can withstand just about any kind of weather, as long as you maintain your home with periodic painting services or staining treatments and keep up on other maintenance-related tasks like fixing shingles when they start to curl at the edges. Another advantage is that it’s fireproof so if there ever were an accident in your kitchen where grease drips onto the stovetop, you won’t have anything catching fire because it will easily self-extinguish once all the fuel has been used up.

Another big pro for this type of roof is that installation time takes less than half what traditional roofs take. That means every aspect from labor hours down to shipping times is cut in half.

Disadvantages of Concrete Roof

The biggest downside to installing a concrete roof is the cost, but when you take into account all of the advantages that come with it, it’s still worth considering as an option for your home. Another thing to keep in mind about this type of installation is what kind of foundation you have underneath your current shingles because these roofs don’t attach themselves and require a level surface from which they’ll hang onto and tie-down during high winds or storms. It helps if the existing structure has some sort of brick facade installed.

What is the difference between concrete and cement?

Cement is a binding agent that binds the aggregate material together, which would be sand and gravel in this case. Concrete is also made of these two materials but it contains water too.

General Process of Concrete Roofs Pouring

It’s a good idea to have the roof supports in place first. Think of it as if we were constructing something like an outdoor deck – we will need some solid ground on which to build the structure, so make sure those concrete support beams are properly installed and set before pouring any more gravel or sand.

Right from there, layer up with either cement mix or mortar mix (more common) until we reach the right height for that particular surface area being covered by a said concrete slab. We will add water at this point (try not to add too much because it will create some serious problems later); then top off with another layer of either cement mix or mortar mix; let dry overnight and fill in any gaps created during the drying process using additional amounts of the wet mix.

How much does a poured concrete roof cost?

The price varies depending upon the size of the area needing to be covered as well as whether or not there is something already up there–a pitched roof, chimney or other obstacles. Homeowners may also specify if they want an eggshell finish (light texture) or an acid wash look (darker). We always use high-quality materials that are environmentally friendly and durable.
