Overview

Why tile for a South Florida home.

Tile is the signature South Florida roof: the barrel and S-tile profiles that define Mediterranean, Spanish-Revival, and coastal architecture, in a material that stands up to sun and salt air for 40 to 50 years. Concrete tile offers the broadest color range at a lower cost; clay tile holds its color longest and reads as the most authentic.

Tile is heavier than shingle, so we confirm the roof structure carries the load, then install to Florida code with the right underlayment and fastening for your county's wind zone. Weighing tile against shingle or metal? The comparison below helps.

Common questions

Tile roofing FAQs.

Concrete or clay tile — which is better?

Concrete tile costs less and offers a wide color range; clay tile holds its color longest and reads as the most authentic. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your home and budget.

How long does a tile roof last?

Typically 40–50 years in Florida, one of the longest-lasting roof systems for coastal exposure.

Is my house strong enough for tile?

Tile is heavier than shingle, so we verify the roof structure carries the load before installing. If it does, tile is an excellent long-term choice.

What does a tile roof cost?

Tile costs more up front than shingle but lasts far longer. Every new roof gets a free written estimate, with financing through Ygrene, PACE, and Homerun.

Can you match my existing tile?

In most cases, yes — we match the profile and color to your home or your HOA's tile community as closely as the manufacturer's current lineup allows.

Do you repair storm-damaged tile roofs?

Yes — see our storm-damage and insurance-claim restoration.
