Need to replace a 90-year-old painted tile roof with a new roof that can be painted to match the aesthetic of the house, but options are limited.
Existing roofing materials either don't allow painting (asphalt) or are very expensive and heavy (slate), or have uncertain longevity (inspire slate). There is no standard product for a paint-able tile roof that maintains the classic look.
