Our Approach
Tile is built for the way Florida weather works
Heat, UV, and salt air wear down most roofing materials year after year. Tile handles all three. Clay and concrete tile don't rot, don't attract insects, and hold their color through decades of Florida sun, which is why so many Tampa Bay homes were designed around them in the first place.
The part most homeowners don't know: tile roofs usually fail at the underlayment long before the tile itself does. That's good news. In many cases we can lift the tile, replace what's underneath, and reset it, instead of replacing the whole roof.
Types We Install
Tile roofing we install
Clay Tile
The classic Florida barrel profile. Color is baked into the tile, so it stays vibrant instead of fading. Best suited to Mediterranean, Spanish, coastal, and luxury homes.
Concrete Tile
More economical than clay, with profiles that can mimic clay, slate, or cedar shake. Durable, long lasting, and available in a wide range of colors and textures.
Underlayment Replacement
When the tile is still sound but the underlayment has failed, we lift, replace, and reset. It costs less than a full replacement and adds decades to the roof.

Performance
How tile performs in Tampa Bay
What tile does well in Tampa Bay, and what to watch for.
Storm Performance
Installed to Florida Building Code for hurricane wind loads, with fastening engineered for the pressures a Florida storm creates.
Heat and UV
Tile handles direct Florida sun better than almost anything else, and its thermal mass helps slow heat transfer into your attic.
Underlayment Life
The underlayment beneath the tile has a shorter lifespan than the tile itself. Knowing where yours stands is the single most useful thing an inspection can tell you.
Weight
Tile is heavy. We confirm your structure supports it before recommending it, especially on older homes.
