New Tile Roof Installation
Building a Mediterranean masterpiece? We install complete tile roofing systems including structural assessment (tile is heavy—support must be verified), premium underlayment, proper battens, individual tile placement, and custom ridge/hip installation. Every tile is carefully positioned for maximum performance and authentic appearance.
Most projects completed in 5-10 days depending on size and complexity.
Tile Roof Repair & Restoration
Cracked tiles from foot traffic? Underlayment leaks despite intact tiles? Our tile specialists repair individual tiles, replace damaged sections, fix flashing, reseat ridge tiles, and address underlayment issues—the most common source of tile roof leaks.
We source matching tiles or weathered replacements for seamless repairs.
Tile Roof Replacement (Re-Roofing)
If your underlayment has failed or tiles are extensively damaged, we provide complete tile roof replacement. We carefully remove existing tiles (salvaging intact ones when possible), repair roof decking, install new waterproofing systems, and reinstall or replace tiles for decades more protection.
Tile Roof Maintenance & Inspection
Annual inspections catch problems early—cracked tiles, deteriorating mortar at hips/ridges, underlayment issues, and flashing concerns. Proper maintenance extends your tile roof's life from 50 to 100+ years.

Why Metal Roofing is Perfect for Florida
Timeless Mediterranean Beauty
The signature look of premium Florida homes. Enhances curb appeal dramatically and increases home value 10-15%. Classic architecture that never goes out of style.

Clay tile lasts 50-100+ years. Concrete tile lasts 40-60 years. Outlasts shingles 2-3 times. Often outlasts the structure itself. May be the last roof your home ever needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (Tile Roofing)
How long do tile roofs last in Florida?
Clay tile: 50-100+ years. Concrete tile: 40-60 years. With proper installation and maintenance, tile roofs often outlast the homes they protect. We've restored tile roofs from the 1920s that are still performing beautifully.
Can tile roofs withstand Florida hurricanes?
Yes, when properly installed. Tile roofing performs excellently in hurricanes due to weight and interlocking design. We use Florida-compliant installation methods with hurricane clips, foam closures, and proper fastening that meet strict building codes.
Is tile roofing too heavy for my home?
We evaluate your roof structure before installation. Most Florida homes built for tile can support it, but we verify and recommend any needed reinforcement. We never compromise safety—if your structure needs strengthening, we'll tell you honestly.
Why do tile roofs leak if the tiles look intact?
Most leaks are underlayment failure, not tile issues. Tiles last 50+ years, but underlayment typically needs replacement after 20-30 years. We lift tiles, replace underlayment, and reinstall tiles—much more affordable than full replacement.
Can you walk on tile roofs?
Yes, with proper technique. Our crews walk tile roofs safely during installation and maintenance. However, improper walking cracks tiles, so homeowners should leave roof access to professionals who know weight distribution techniques.
How much does tile roof repair cost?
Depends on extent of damage. Individual tile replacement is very affordable. Underlayment repairs require lifting tiles but save full replacement cost. We provide FREE assessments and honest recommendations—repair when viable, replace when necessary.
What if you can't match my old tile colors?
We source from specialty suppliers, manufacturers, and salvage yards. We've matched tiles from the 1930s. Weathered tiles often blend naturally even if not exact matches. We show you options during estimates.
Do tile roofs require special maintenance?
Minimal maintenance—less than shingles, slightly more than metal. Annual inspections, gutter cleaning, removing debris, checking for cracked tiles, and monitoring mortar at hips/ridges. Proper maintenance extends life to 100+ years.
Timeless beauty. Lifetime protection. Classic Florida elegance.
