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.
Below: recent tile roofing projects our crews have completed across Tampa Bay.
Our crew wrapped up a tile roofing job in Clearwater this August. We started by stripping the old tile and inspecting the underlayment before setting fresh underlayment and flashing across the deck. Each tile went down with attention to lap and alignment so water sheds properly off the roof line. Once the last tile was set, we cleared the site and left the property clean and ready.

August brought us out to Riverview for a tile roof replacement on a residential property. Jobs like this run from stripping the old tile off the deck to inspecting what's underneath, then setting new tile with proper attention to ridges and flashing. We keep the process organized so nothing gets overlooked, and we haul away all the old material before heading out.

A tile roof replacement starts with tearing off the old material and checking the deck underneath before new underlayment goes down. Once that's set, our crew lays the tile and pays close attention to the flashing and ridge lines, since those spots take the most weather over time. We finished this job in St. Petersburg back in August, leaving the homeowner with a tile roof built for the Gulf Coast.

June closed out with a tile roof job for a homeowner in Hillsborough County. Our crew handled the full scope, from removing the old roofing to inspecting the deck and rolling out underlayment before setting each tile course. We give extra attention to ridge caps and flashing points, since those areas tend to cause the most problems on tile systems over time. The result is a properly set roof that sheds water the way it should.

This tile roofing job in Clearwater wrapped up in June. Setting tile right means working through underlayment, flashing, and each course with proper lap so water moves off the roof instead of sitting on it. Our crew took it step by step, checking alignment as we went, then swept the site clean before wrapping up. The result is a tile roof built to handle Florida rain.

Back in June our crew tackled a tile roofing project in St. Petersburg. Once the old tile comes off, we go over the deck, get new underlayment down, and reset the tile with attention to how flashing and ridge lines tie together, since that's usually where trouble starts. This homeowner came away with a tile roof set up to hold up under Gulf Coast conditions.

In June we wrapped up a tile roofing job for a homeowner in Pinellas County. Jobs like this call for removing the old tile, checking the deck and underlayment underneath, and setting fresh tile piece by piece so it locks in and sheds water correctly. It's slow, deliberate work since alignment matters more with tile than most other roofing types. The homeowner walked away with a roof built to hold up.

We finished a tile roofing job in Hillsborough County this May. Jobs like this call for pulling the old tile and underlayment off the deck, inspecting what's underneath, then rebuilding with new underlayment before setting tile courses back into place. Ridge lines and flashing get extra attention since that's where tile roofs tend to fail first. The homeowner was left with a roof set square and ready to shed water.
