It depends on the condition of you existing roof. Tile, in general, adds more value to the home. Having said that, I have seen some existing conditions that are bogus and need to go. For example: if your tiles are fastened to the roof with mortar only, and no mechanical fasteners, the mortar begins to seperate at some point, and during a storm you might produce deadly projectiles of tile from your roof. There may be underlying conditions of poor flashing and/or rotted wood that are not visible to you, but can cause big problems.
I know an awful lot of people that are scrapping the aging tile roof in favor of shingles for matters of soundness, safety and cost. But I can't see your roof from here, my friend, so you will have to make the call!

sure rolled roofing is for low pitch roofs. He amy be charging to tear off and eliminate the old roof textile. If it leaked, he in all probability will could replace the plywood additionally. The rolled roofing is greater cost-effective than shingles. you additionally can get yet another estimate.
