Tile roofing is a signature element of many upscale and historic homes throughout Northeast Florida. Known for its elegance, durability, and performance, tile roofing is a smart investment for homeowners in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, and surrounding areas of Clay County. At Orange Blossom Roofing – NE Florida, we specialize in the professional installation, replacement, and repair of both clay and concrete tile roofs, providing exceptional service with an understanding of the region’s unique coastal challenges.
Our experienced team installs tile roofing systems that are not only visually striking but also engineered to endure Florida’s heat, humidity, and hurricane conditions. Whether you're renovating a historic property or upgrading your current roof, we deliver lasting performance and refined aesthetic appeal.
Clay and Concrete Tile Roof Installation
When building a new home or upgrading to a tile roof, proper installation is essential to long-term success. Unlike lightweight materials such as asphalt shingles, tile roofing requires structural planning due to its heavier weight. We begin each tile installation by evaluating the roof framing, ensuring it meets the necessary load-bearing standards for tile systems.
Next, we install a high-quality underlayment system designed to act as a secondary barrier against Florida’s frequent rains. The tiles themselves—either traditional clay or modern concrete—are installed with precision to allow natural expansion and drainage while maintaining a secure, weather-resistant surface.
Clay tiles are a popular choice for homes in St. Augustine’s historic districts, offering timeless Mediterranean and Spanish-style charm. Concrete tiles are commonly used in coastal communities across Daytona Beach and Jacksonville for their durability and versatility in color and style.
Full Tile Roof Replacement Services
Over time, even durable tile roofs may need replacement, particularly when underlayment materials begin to fail or tile fastening systems weaken. Homeowners in Clay County and surrounding areas often contact us when they notice signs such as widespread leaks, shifting tiles, or visible deterioration.
Our replacement process begins with removing all existing tiles and underlayment. Salvageable tiles are preserved whenever possible to reduce costs and maintain consistency, particularly for specialty tile profiles that may be difficult to match. We then inspect the decking for rot or moisture damage and repair any compromised areas before reinstalling new underlayment and the chosen tile system.
We offer a wide range of tile options to suit both modern and historic homes, including flat profile, S-profile, barrel tile, and interlocking styles. These are available in glazed or natural finishes in a broad spectrum of colors.
Tile Roof Repairs and Leak Resolution
While tile roofing systems are exceptionally resilient, individual tiles can crack, shift, or break due to impact, aging, or installation defects. Because the tiles themselves often serve more as a water-shedding surface rather than a watertight seal, damaged underlayment beneath them can lead to serious leaks.
We offer professional tile roof repair services throughout St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and Daytona Beach. Our team carefully lifts the affected tiles to access the damaged area, replaces compromised underlayment, and resets or replaces tiles with care to preserve the surrounding system.
Common repair needs include tile replacement after storm damage, resealing ridge caps, correcting valley drainage issues, and fixing flashing separations around chimneys and skylights. For homes located in high-wind zones, we also provide re-fastening services using improved hurricane-rated tile attachment methods.
Advantages of Tile Roofing in Florida’s Coastal Climate
Florida’s demanding climate calls for a roofing material that can perform in heat, humidity, and storms. Tile roofing is one of the most durable systems available, offering numerous advantages for homeowners throughout Northeast Florida.
Longevity and Strength
Properly installed clay or concrete tile roofs can last 50–100 years with minimal maintenance. They are fire-resistant, insect-resistant, and hold up well to high wind speeds.
Wind and Hurricane Performance
Tile roofs can be secured with fastening systems rated for wind speeds up to 150 mph, making them suitable for hurricane zones such as Daytona Beach and Jacksonville’s oceanfront neighborhoods.
Thermal and Energy Efficiency
Tile’s natural thermal mass helps reduce heat transfer into the home, keeping indoor temperatures cooler and reducing energy use during hot summer months.
Aesthetic Flexibility
From historic Spanish clay to sleek contemporary concrete tile, the design possibilities are vast. Tile roofing enhances curb appeal and increases overall property value.
Tile Roof Maintenance and Inspection Services
Regular inspections and proactive maintenance extend the life of tile roofing systems. At Orange Blossom Roofing – NE Florida, we offer maintenance services including debris removal from valleys, tile resealing, underlayment inspection, and preventative repairs.
We recommend annual inspections, especially before and after hurricane season. This helps identify cracked tiles, weakened fasteners, and early signs of underlayment wear. Homes in coastal neighborhoods benefit greatly from these inspections, as salt air can accelerate corrosion in roof fixtures.
