Tile Roofing

Tile roofing represents a premium investment in your home’s protection and aesthetic. For centuries, clay and concrete tiles have been a preferred roofing material in warm climates, and for good reason. They are exceptionally well suited to withstand the intense sun and heavy rainfall characteristic of Central Florida. The material’s inherent resistance to the elements ensures it will not rot, curl, or burn. Tile roofs are a sustainable choice, often made from natural, earth-based materials. When you choose tile, you are selecting a roofing system known for its incredible longevity. A properly installed tile roof by Clermont Roofing Inc. can protect your home for a lifetime. We are committed to the highest standards of craftsmanship for these specialized systems.

The choice between clay and concrete tiles allows for a wide range of stylistic possibilities. Clay tiles offer a classic, traditional look, often associated with Mediterranean and Spanish style architecture. They are available in various shades of red, orange, and brown, and their color is baked into the tile, so it will not fade over time. Concrete tiles are more versatile in their design, as they can be manufactured to mimic the appearance of traditional clay, wood shake, or slate. They come in an extensive array of colors and profiles, from flat to high-profile barrel shapes. Our experts at Clermont Roofing Inc. can guide you through the options to find the perfect match for your home.

Durability is a key advantage of tile roofing, especially when facing Florida’s severe weather. Both clay and concrete tiles carry a Class A fire rating, the highest possible. They are also heavy enough to resist wind uplift during tropical storms and hurricanes when installed correctly. The installation method is critical to achieving this wind resistance. Our skilled team secures each tile according to strict manufacturer specifications and local building codes. This meticulous process ensures your roof can handle the challenging weather conditions it will inevitably face. This level of durability provides security and peace of mind for you and your family.

The energy efficiency of a tile roof is another significant benefit. The individual tiles are installed on battens, which creates a natural air space between the tiles and the roof deck. This air pocket acts as an insulating barrier, reducing the transfer of heat from the roof surface into your attic. This natural ventilation keeps your home cooler in the summer, reducing the strain on your air conditioning system. The result is lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills. In a sunny climate like ours, these energy savings can be substantial over the life of the roof. A tile roof is a smart choice for both your comfort and your wallet.

While tile roofing is incredibly durable, it does require a specific skill set for proper installation and maintenance. The weight of the tiles means the underlying roof structure must be assessed to ensure it can support the load. Our team at Clermont Roofing Inc. always performs a thorough structural evaluation before beginning any tile roof project. The installation itself is complex, involving the precise layout of the batten system, correct tile overlapping, and proper flashing techniques. Our roofers are extensively trained and experienced in all aspects of tile roofing. This expertise ensures your roof is not only beautiful but also structurally sound and watertight.

Maintenance for a tile roof is generally minimal but important for its longevity. Inspections should be performed periodically to check for any cracked or slipped tiles, especially after a major storm. Debris like leaves and branches can accumulate in the roof’s valleys and should be cleared away to allow for proper water drainage. It is crucial that anyone walking on a tile roof knows the correct technique to avoid breaking the tiles. We recommend having any inspections or repairs performed by qualified professionals. Clermont Roofing Inc. offers expert tile roof repair and maintenance services to keep your roof in perfect condition for decades.

We hired Clemont roofing from Oviedo to reroof our house. Joe Buck was the salesman. We figured once the contract was signed, last we would see of him. Best contract we ever signed. Joe was here every single day. We had excellent communication from the office on when they would start. Joe was here every day to tell workers where to park, guide the delivery. The workers are amazing. Worked 12 hours a day 5 days straight to strip the old off. Install the new. At completion, they walked the yard with magnets and metal detectors for debris ( nails ). Can't say in writing how great this company treated us. If anyone has apprehensive thoughts, all I can say is we had 5 star service. Hire them !

Most Common Tile Roofing Questions

Choosing a premium material like tile for your roof comes with many questions. Homeowners want to understand the costs, benefits, and long term considerations of this durable roofing system. We have provided detailed answers to some of the most common inquiries about tile roofing.

The weight of a tile roof is a valid and important consideration for any homeowner. Both clay and concrete tiles are significantly heavier than more common materials like asphalt shingles. A standard asphalt shingle roof weighs approximately 2 to 4 pounds per square foot. In contrast, a tile roof can weigh anywhere from 6 to 12 pounds per square foot, or even more, depending on the specific tile profile and material. Because of this substantial difference, not every home’s existing roof structure is built to support the additional load of a tile system without modification.

Before any tile roof installation can begin, a thorough structural assessment by a qualified professional is mandatory. Our team at Clermont Roofing Inc. will have a structural engineer inspect your home’s roof framing, including the rafters, trusses, and the roof deck itself. This inspection determines the current load capacity of your roof structure. It will identify whether the existing framework is sufficient to handle the weight of the tiles, underlayment, and any additional materials. The safety and structural integrity of your home are our absolute top priorities, and this step is non negotiable.

If the inspection reveals that your current roof structure is not adequate, it does not necessarily mean you cannot have a tile roof. In many cases, the roof framing can be reinforced to safely support the additional weight. This might involve strengthening existing rafters, adding more support posts, or other structural enhancements. Our team will explain the engineer’s findings and outline what, if any, reinforcements are needed. We provide a clear and comprehensive plan, ensuring you understand the entire process and associated costs before moving forward with your beautiful new tile roof.

Tile roofs are renowned for their exceptional longevity, which is one of their most significant advantages, especially in the demanding Florida climate. A professionally installed clay or concrete tile roof can easily last for 50 years or more. Many tile roofs have been known to last for the life of the building itself, with some historical examples lasting over a century. The tiles themselves are incredibly durable and do not degrade from exposure to sunlight or moisture like other materials do. The baked in color of clay tiles will not fade, and the robust nature of concrete ensures long term performance.

The lifespan of the complete roofing system, however, depends on more than just the tiles. The underlayment, the layer of material between the tiles and the roof deck, is also a critical component. Historically, underlayments had a shorter lifespan than the tiles themselves. This meant that even though the tiles were still in great condition, a major repair or “re-lay” might be needed after 20 to 30 years to replace the worn out underlayment. This could be a significant and costly project for homeowners in the past. It required removing the tiles, replacing the underlayment, and then reinstalling the original tiles.

Fortunately, modern underlayment technology has advanced significantly. Today, we use high quality synthetic underlayments and advanced flashing materials that are designed to last as long as the tiles. These modern materials have a lifespan of 40 to 50 years or more, matching the longevity of the clay or concrete tiles. When Clermont Roofing Inc. installs your new tile roof, we use these superior components to create a complete system built to last. This ensures that your investment is truly a long term solution, providing decades of protection without the need for major, premature overhauls.

The primary difference between clay and concrete tiles lies in their composition and manufacturing process. Clay tiles are made from natural clay that is molded into the desired shape and then fired in a kiln at very high temperatures. This process bakes the color into the body of the tile, which is why clay tiles hold their color exceptionally well and do not fade over time. They are most commonly associated with traditional barrel shapes, giving homes a classic Spanish or Mediterranean appearance. Clay is a premium, natural material known for its beauty and long history of use in roofing.

Concrete tiles, on the other hand, are made from a mixture of sand, cement, water, and iron oxide for color. This mixture is extruded at high pressure into molds to create various shapes and profiles. The color is either mixed into the material or applied as a surface glaze. Because they are manufactured, concrete tiles offer a much wider range of styles and colors than clay. They can be made to look like traditional clay tiles, wood shakes, or even slate. This design versatility allows homeowners to achieve a specific aesthetic while still getting the durability of a tile roof.

In terms of performance, both materials are excellent choices for the Florida climate. They are both Class A fire resistant and highly durable against wind and impacts. Concrete tiles tend to be slightly heavier and can be more absorbent than clay tiles, though modern sealants mitigate this. Clay tiles are often more expensive due to the cost of the raw material and the energy intensive firing process. Ultimately, the choice between clay and concrete often comes down to budget and the specific look you want to achieve for your home. Our experts at Clermont Roofing Inc. can show you samples of both to help you decide.

Walking on a tile roof is possible, but it must be done with extreme care and proper technique to avoid breaking the tiles. Both clay and concrete tiles can be brittle and may crack under concentrated weight if not traversed correctly. A cracked or broken tile can compromise the roof’s water shedding ability and lead to leaks. For this reason, we strongly advise homeowners to stay off their tile roofs and leave any necessary work to trained professionals. Our team at Clermont Roofing Inc. has the experience and knowledge to navigate a tile roof safely without causing damage.

The correct way to walk on a tile roof depends on the specific profile of the tile. For curved or barrel tiles, weight should be placed on the high points or peaks of the tile, where it is structurally strongest. For flat tiles, it is generally safest to walk on the lower third of the tile, where it overlaps the tile below it, providing double thickness and support. Walking in the center or on the unsupported edges of a tile is very likely to cause it to crack. It requires a deliberate and careful approach, which is why it is best left to experienced roofers.

If you need to access your roof for any reason, such as to service an antenna or for holiday decorations, it is best to call a professional. We can perform the task for you or advise you on the safest way to proceed. If you absolutely must access the roof yourself, use ladders or crawling boards to distribute your weight over a larger area. Never jump or drop heavy tools onto the roof surface. Proper care is essential to maintaining the integrity and longevity of your beautiful and valuable tile roofing system.

Repairing a broken roof tile is a common maintenance task that is crucial for preventing water damage. The process requires careful work to avoid damaging the surrounding tiles. First, the broken tile must be carefully removed. This is often the most delicate part of the job. A roofer will use a pry bar to gently lift the overlapping tile just enough to expose the fastener holding the broken tile in place. The fastener is then removed, and the broken pieces of the tile are carefully slid out from underneath the overlapping course of tiles above it.

Once the broken tile is removed, the underlayment beneath it is inspected for any damage. If the underlayment has been torn or punctured, it must be repaired before the new tile is installed. A small patch of matching underlayment material is sealed over the damaged area to restore the roof’s secondary water barrier. This is a critical step that ensures the long term integrity of the repair. Simply replacing the tile without addressing underlayment damage can lead to hidden leaks that cause rot and mold in the roof structure.

Finally, the new replacement tile is carefully slid into position. It is aligned correctly and then secured to the roof deck with a new, corrosion resistant fastener. In some cases, a specialized tile adhesive may also be used to provide an additional bond. The overlapping tile is then gently lowered back into place. The result is a seamless repair that restores the roof’s protective function and appearance. This process requires a delicate touch and the right tools, which is why it is always recommended to have a professional from Clermont Roofing Inc. handle your tile roof repairs.

Compared to other roofing materials, tile roofs are considered low maintenance, but they are not maintenance free. Their durability and resistance to rot and insects mean you will not have the same issues that plague materials like wood or asphalt. However, periodic inspections are essential to ensure the roof’s longevity. We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, and always after a major storm event like a hurricane. These inspections can identify small problems like a single cracked or slipped tile before they can lead to significant water damage.

The most common maintenance task for a tile roof is keeping it clear of debris. In areas with overhanging trees, leaves, pine needles, and small branches can accumulate in the valleys and around chimneys or skylights. This buildup can obstruct the flow of water off the roof, creating dams that can force water up under the tiles. This can lead to leaks and damage to the underlayment. Clearing this debris regularly is important to maintain proper drainage. This can often be done with a leaf blower, but again, it is safest to have a professional perform this task.

Beyond inspections and debris removal, there is very little else a homeowner needs to do. The tiles themselves do not require any special treatment or recoating. Unlike asphalt shingles, you will not have to worry about granule loss or curling edges. As long as the roof was installed correctly by a qualified contractor and is inspected periodically, it should provide decades of trouble free service. The minimal maintenance requirements are a key part of the long term value proposition of a tile roof, saving you time and hassle over its extensive lifespan.

Similar to other roofing systems, a new tile roof from Clermont Roofing Inc. comes with a dual warranty structure for your complete protection. The first part is the manufacturer’s warranty, which covers the tiles themselves. Tile manufacturers provide some of the best warranties in the roofing industry, reflecting the material’s incredible durability. These warranties protect against manufacturing defects that would cause the tiles to fail. The warranty period for high quality clay and concrete tiles is often 50 years, and many manufacturers even offer a limited lifetime warranty on their products.

This manufacturer’s warranty ensures that if the tiles themselves are found to be defective, the manufacturer will provide replacement materials. The specific terms can vary, so it is important to read the warranty documents carefully. Some warranties may be prorated over time, while others might offer non prorated coverage for a set number of years. It is also critical to note that these warranties are contingent upon the tiles being installed according to the manufacturer’s precise specifications. Using an experienced and certified installer like our team is essential to keep your warranty valid.

The second, and equally important, part of the warranty is the workmanship warranty provided by us, Clermont Roofing Inc. This warranty covers the quality of the installation itself. It protects you from any issues that may arise due to an error in our work, such as leaks caused by improper flashing or tile placement. We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship, a tradition of excellence upheld by Patrick and Walker Scott since 1990. Our workmanship warranty provides you with the peace of mind that if a problem related to our installation occurs, we will return to correct it promptly at no charge to you.

Choosing the right color and style of tile is an exciting process that can dramatically transform your home’s appearance. The first step is to consider your home’s architectural style. For example, traditional Spanish or Mediterranean style homes are perfectly complemented by classic, red barrel clay tiles. For more modern or ranch style homes, a lower profile, flat concrete tile in a shade of gray or charcoal can provide a sleek, contemporary look. We can provide you with a portfolio of our past projects to give you inspiration and show you how different tiles look on various home styles in the Clermont area.

The color of your roof should also complement the other exterior colors of your home, including the siding, trim, and stone or brick accents. We recommend obtaining physical samples of the tiles you are considering. You can then hold these samples up against your home’s exterior at different times of the day to see how the color looks in various lighting conditions. A color that looks great on a computer screen might look different in the bright Florida sun. Considering the colors of neighboring homes can also be helpful to ensure your choice fits well within the overall neighborhood aesthetic.

Finally, think about the practical implications of color. Lighter colored tiles are more effective at reflecting sunlight and can contribute to a cooler, more energy efficient home. This is a significant advantage in our hot climate and can lead to lower air conditioning costs. Our experts at Clermont Roofing Inc. are here to help you through this decision making process. We can offer professional design advice, provide samples, and even show you software that can visualize how different tiles will look on your specific home. Our goal is to help you select a tile that you will be happy with for decades to come.
