Why tile still rules South Florida rooftops

Tile is the look most South Florida homes were built for — concrete or clay, in the barrel and flat profiles you see across every established neighborhood. Done right, a tile roof lasts 40 to 50 years and shrugs off sun and heat better than almost anything else.

Here’s the part people miss: the tile isn’t what waterproofs your home — the underlayment beneath it is. The tile shields that membrane from sun and impact. So a real tile job lives or dies on the underlayment and the flashing details, which is exactly where we spend our attention.

Why Choose Hunter

Built for the heat

Tile handles Florida sun and heat better than shingle, and the air gap under the tiles helps keep the attic cooler. It’s a roof suited to the climate it sits in.

Decades of life

A properly installed concrete or clay tile roof commonly lasts 40 to 50 years. Individual tiles that crack or slip can be swapped without redoing the whole roof.

The underlayment is where we earn it

We install a high-quality waterproof underlayment and detail every valley, penetration, and edge — because that membrane is what actually keeps water out, and the tile protects it.

Our Simple Process

Three steps from tear-off to a tile roof that looks right and holds up.

1

Inspect & tear off

We check the deck and structure, strip the old tile and underlayment, and repair any wood that’s gone soft before anything new goes down.

2

Underlayment & flashing

We lay the waterproof underlayment and detail the valleys, edges, and every penetration — the layer that does the waterproofing — before a single tile is set.

3

Set the tile

We install your concrete or clay tile to spec for wind, tie it in clean at the hips and ridges, and leave you a roof that looks right and lasts.

Tile installed to last — and stood behind

Quality underlayment, wind-rated installation, and workmanship we put in writing. Ask about financing on tile replacement.

How long does a tile roof last in Florida?
A properly installed concrete or clay tile roof commonly lasts 40 to 50 years. The tiles themselves last even longer; it’s usually the underlayment beneath them that ages first, which is why a good underlayment matters so much.
Can you replace just the broken tiles?
Often, yes. Cracked or slipped tiles can be swapped individually without redoing the roof. If the underlayment beneath is still sound, that’s a repair — we’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in after we look.
Concrete or clay tile — what’s the difference?
Both last for decades. Clay holds its color longer and has the traditional look; concrete is heavier, a bit more budget-friendly, and comes in more profiles. We’ll walk through both for your home and budget.
Do I need to replace the tile or just the underlayment?
Sometimes the tile is fine and the underlayment underneath has worn out. On some roofs we can lift and re-lay the existing tile over new underlayment; on others it’s more practical to replace. We assess and give you the straight answer.
Is my house strong enough for tile?
Tile is heavier than shingle, so the structure has to be built or rated for it. Most South Florida homes that already have tile are. If you’re switching from shingle to tile, we confirm the structure first.
Does a tile roof help with cooling?
It can. The air gap under the tiles and the reflectivity of many tile colors help keep the attic cooler than a dark shingle roof, which can take some load off your AC in our summers.
