detached gable rake tile, totalling $9,378.55 after shipping and taxes. Dayus is suggesting 150 typical clay tiles and 20 ridge/hip tiles, however the Owner expects to need more based on experience from previous repairs and for future repairs. The Owner provided an aerial view to show square footing of roof to calculate the tiles necessary and would like to order from this supplier.
Other companies reached such as Ludowici (current tiles are this brand) are claims to be the strongest in the industry with lowest water retention (Willistead Manor uses this brand). However, the quote in US Dollars to remake exact regular 400-500 tiles alone is $26,000 plus shipping. An alternative option for Ludowici tiles of slightly different dimensions was quoted at $10,000-$12,000 plus shipping. Tile Roof.com was another quote obtained. Though quoted at USD$5-$7 for the regular tile plus freight, the option did not appear feasible as the Owner would have to make arrangements necessary to pay import duties and arrange for pick-up and transportation of tiles from a transport terminal and across the border.
Option Two- Heritage Alteration to Steel Roof
Should heritage financial incentives not be approved for the Clay Tile roof repair, the Owner’s next preference would be to request for a more affordable roof replacement using steel roof with resemblance of tile appearance. (Refer to Appendix B) The Owner would like to proceed with either the Bravo- Terra Cotta Steel tiles from London’s Eco- Metal Roofing, or Ideal’s Monteciano steel roofing tile to be installed by Double AA Roofing.
Bravo- Terra Cotta Steel tiles are dimensioned as panel with a 48” span in length. The style of tile is “S” form or Spanish style tile. The length of “tile” is 13 ¾” and width of 9 and 1/16” with a step of 0.75”. Specification identify the galvanized steel with a .019 nom gauge, Z275 (G90). The standard product warranty is 55 years and workmanship warranty from London Eco-Metal Manufacturing Inc. is 50 years. Ideal’s line of Monteciano roofing quoted through Double AA Metal Roofing is a Mediterranean style steel roofing in barrel-vault shape, manufactured in pre-formed panels of 63.4” by 12.5”. It is marketed as a replacement product for traditional clay tiles with typical warm and rich red earth tones. The product also has a limited 50 years warranty. Dayus roofing also provided a quote using EDCO Arrowline lifetime metal roofing system but the cost quoted is not something that the Owner would consider. The alteration to steel roofing would not be eligible for any of the heritage financial incentive programs offered by the City.
Heritage Alteration for removal of Detached Garage Chimney
The tilting chimney at the rear slope of the detached garage is in poor condition and in need of repair (Refer to Background section for photo). Although it would be most ideal to retain all of the original features, the chimney is on the accessory structure, and is also not prominently visible due to its location at the rear of the detached garage. Its removal should be permitted. The alternative would be additional cost to conduct masonry repairs for this chimney.
