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.
Why tile works in Florida
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.
Lifespan — the tile outlives the underlayment
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.
Tile services we provide
- Tile re-roofs — full replacement with new concrete or clay tile
- Underlayment replacement (lift & re-lay) — keep your tile, renew the waterproofing
- Tile repair — cracked, slipped, or storm-damaged tiles, matched and blended
- Ridge and hip re-bedding — re-securing mortar or foam-set ridge lines
Styles and profiles
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.
A note on weight and structure
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.
