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.
This May our crew completed a tile roofing job in St. Petersburg. Once the old tile and underlayment are stripped away, we inspect the deck, make repairs where needed, and roll out new underlayment before setting the tile back down. Flashing and ridge work get extra attention since that's where leaks usually start. The homeowner is left with a tile roof ready to hold up under Gulf Coast weather.

Our crew completed a tile roofing job in Brandon this spring, working through the layout, underlayment, and tile placement one section at a time. As a GAF Master Elite certified contractor, we approach every tile roof with the same attention to fastening pattern, flashing detail, and manufacturer spacing guidelines. The finished roof gives this Brandon home solid weather protection and a clean, finished look from the street.

We finished this tile roof replacement in Hillsborough County back in April. Our crew worked through the usual sequence: full tear-off, a look at the deck, underlayment, then tile set course by course to keep water moving off each plane. Ridge lines and flashing get extra attention since that's where tile roofs tend to leak first. The homeowner walked away with a roof laid square and ready for the years ahead.
Hillsborough County, FL · April 2022
For this Riverview project, our crew tackled a tile roof replacement from the deck up. Old tile came off first, then we checked the underlayment before setting new tile, paying close attention to ridge lines and flashing along the way. Jobs like this take patience more than speed. When we wrapped up, the homeowner had a roof done right and a yard free of debris.
Riverview, FL · April 2022
We finished this tile roofing job in Hillsborough County this April. A full tile replacement means tearing off the old material, checking the deck for soft spots, rolling fresh underlayment, then setting tile courses so each plane sheds water the way it should. Ridge lines and flashing get extra attention from our crew since that's where tile roofs tend to fail first. The homeowner now has a properly set, square roof overhead.
Hillsborough County, FL · April 2022
In Pasco County, our crew handled this tile roofing job from tear-off through final ridge caps. Setting tile takes care with underlayment and flashing so the roof holds up under Florida's heat and storms. By the time we wrapped up, the homeowner had a tile roof with clean lines and solid fastening throughout, built to handle the years ahead.

Our crew closed out a tile roofing job in St. Petersburg this February. These jobs call for tearing off the old material, going over the deck for soft spots, and rolling out new underlayment before the tile goes back on. Flashing and ridge work get extra attention since that's where problems tend to start. Homeowner is left with a tile roof set to handle the area's weather.
St. Petersburg, FL · February 2022
Our crew closed out a tile roofing job in St. Petersburg this September. On projects like this, we pull the old tile, check the decking underneath, and roll out fresh underlayment before setting the new tile back in place. Flashing and ridge details get extra attention since those are common trouble spots on any tile system. When we're done, the homeowner has a roof built to stand up to the coastal climate.
