Concrete and clay tile roofing for Tampa Bay — installation, re-roofs, and repair. The classic Florida roof, installed and serviced to GAF Master Elite standards.
Tile has been the signature Florida roof for a century for good reason: concrete and clay shrug off sun, salt air, and heat that age asphalt shingles prematurely. A properly installed tile roof is rated for Florida Building Code wind requirements and can outlast two or three shingle roofs.
Here is what most Tampa homeowners with tile roofs are never told: the tiles themselves can last 50 years or more, but the underlayment beneath them — the actual waterproofing layer — typically lasts 20 to 25 in our climate. When a tile roof starts leaking, the tile usually is not the problem. In many cases we can carefully lift the existing tile, replace the underlayment with a modern self-adhered system, and re-lay the original tile — restoring decades of life without the cost of all-new tile.
Barrel (Spanish S), flat, and shake-profile tile in concrete or clay, in the full range of Florida color blends. We help you match existing tile on repairs — including sourcing discontinued profiles where possible.
Tile is heavy — roughly two to four times the weight of shingles. Moving from shingles to tile requires an engineering check of your roof structure. We handle that evaluation as part of any tile conversion estimate, so there are no surprises.

Tile roofs call for patience, and that's what this Pinellas County job got in September. We pulled the old tile, checked the deck and underlayment, then set new tile piece by piece so it sits flush and sheds water the way it should. Every course got squared up before moving to the next. The result is a tile roof ready to handle Florida's weather for years to come.

This September our crew finished a tile roofing job in St. Petersburg. On projects like this we pull the old tile, check the deck underneath, and roll out new underlayment before the tile goes back down. Flashing and ridge details get extra attention since those spots see the most wear over time. The homeowner is left with a tile roof set up to hold up under Gulf Coast weather.

We closed out this Clearwater tile roof in September. Jobs like this call for steady hands through the underlayment and flashing before any tile goes down, since alignment and lap determine how well the roof sheds rain later. Our crew moved through each section methodically, checked the work, then cleared away debris. The homeowner is left with a tile roof set up to perform through the area's weather.
Clearwater, FL · September 2021
We closed out this Hillsborough County tile roof in September. Our crew worked through the standard sequence: full tear-off, deck check, underlayment, then tile set course by course to shed water off each plane. Ridge lines and flashing points got extra attention since those areas tend to cause problems on tile systems if rushed. The result is a roof laid square and ready to hold up over time.

We finished up a residential tile roofing job in Hillsborough County this past June. A project like this calls for a full tear-off, a close look at the deck underneath, new underlayment, and tile courses set to shed water correctly across each plane. Ridge caps and flashing get extra attention from our crew since those spots tend to fail first. The result is a squared-away roof built to last.

Crews wrapped up a tile roofing job in Pinellas County this May. Setting tile means pulling the old material, inspecting the deck and underlayment, then laying each new piece so it seats correctly and sheds water. We check alignment closely, since tile roofs rely on that fit more than shingles do. The homeowner now has a solid roof overhead ready for the summer storms.

Tile roofs take a specific approach: pull the old tile, check the decking, roll out fresh underlayment, then reset the tile with attention to flashing and ridge lines. That's how our crew handled this job in St. Petersburg, wrapped up in May. Getting those details right up front means fewer problems down the line, and the homeowner now has a tile roof built to hold up against Gulf Coast weather.
