Question 1

How long does a tile roof last in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Concrete tile roofs typically last 50–75 years in Florida, and clay tile can last 100+ years. The underlayment beneath the tile usually needs replacement every 20–30 years, but the tiles themselves can be reused.

Question 2

Are tile roofs good for hurricanes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Properly installed tile roofs with mechanical fasteners are rated for wind speeds up to 180 mph. Tile is one of the best-performing roofing materials in Florida hurricane conditions.

Question 3

Is my home strong enough for a tile roof?

Accepted Answer

Tile is heavier than asphalt shingles, so we verify your roof structure can support the load before installation. Most Florida homes built after 2002 are already engineered for tile. Older homes may need minor reinforcement, which we handle as part of the project.

Question 4

Do tile roofs require a lot of maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Tile roofs are very low maintenance. Occasional cleaning to remove algae or debris and periodic inspection of the underlayment are all that is needed. Individual cracked tiles can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding roof.
