In Table XIII is given a list of the prevailing styles of roof tiling,
the cost of tiling, labor, etc. per square, pertaining to each variety.
The prices in the table are based on the natural red color of the clay
when burnt; extra prices are asked for glazed-surface finish which can
be obtained in different colors. The prices in the table are based on
quantities of not less than 30 squares, as less than a minimum carload
means increased freight rates. The prices given cover railroad delivery
to points in the Eastern and Middle States. Labor, etc. being based on
current prices.
The above prices are figured on the tile being laid on wooden
sheathing; if laid on book tile or cement add 20 per cent.
If copper nails are used, care must be taken in figuring the number
of nails, as well as their length and gauge, for the special forms of
tile specified. Fluctuating values of copper make this an item of much
importance.
Ridges, hip rolls, barge tile, and finials are charged as extras and
due allowance must be made for cutting at valleys and hips.
=63. Gravel Roofs.=—In =gravel roofing=, the cost per square depends on
the number of thicknesses of tarred felt and the quantity of pitch used
per square. A value of 4 cents per square foot for four thicknesses may
be considered an average.
