Clay and concrete tile systems installed by a licensed Orange County crew
Tile Roofing in Apopka is the smartest long-term roof you can put on a Central Florida home, and we install and repair it across 32712, 32703, and 32768. Clay and concrete tile shrug off 130 mph winds, shed rain fast, and outlast asphalt by decades. Whether you need a full tile roof installation Apopka homeowners trust or a leak traced under existing tile, our licensed crew gets it done right.
Tile Roofing in Apopka means installing a layered system, not just hanging tiles on a deck. We start with a self-adhered ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, then roll out a high-temp roof underlayment rated for Florida heat, then set each clay tile or concrete tile on battens or a mortar bed depending on the profile. Flashing at chimneys, valleys, and sidewalls gets replaced, not reused. Every penetration is sealed with polyurethane roof sealant, and ridge tiles are fastened with stainless screws and foam closures so wind can't lift them.
Apopka sits in a high-wind zone, so tile roofing here has to meet Florida Building Code and often needs a Wind Mitigation Certification for insurance credits. Most of the tile roofs we work on are 20 to 40 years old, and the failure point is almost never the tile itself. It's the underlayment underneath. Once that felt dries out and tears, water finds your attic. If you've been searching for tile roofing Apopka FL near me and you're seeing ceiling stains or granules in the gutter, the underlayment is usually the culprit, not the tile.
Tile is the longest-lasting roof surface you can buy for a Central Florida home, and it holds up to the heat, rain, and wind that punish asphalt shingles. Here's what you actually get.
A properly installed clay or concrete tile roof lasts 50 years or more in Apopka's climate, versus 15 to 20 for asphalt shingles. That means one tile roof can outlast three shingle replacements, and the tile itself is often reusable when only the underlayment needs replacing.
Concrete and clay tile systems we install carry Miami-Dade NOA approvals and meet Florida Building Code wind requirements for Orange County. Fastened correctly with ring-shank nails and foam closures, tile holds through the 110 to 130 mph gusts that brush Apopka during hurricane season.
Tile creates an air gap above the underlayment that lets attic heat escape through ridge vent and soffit vents. Homeowners in South Apopka FL regularly report attic temperatures 10 to 15 degrees cooler in July, which takes real load off the AC and shows up on the FPL bill.
Many Florida carriers discount premiums when a tile roof carries a Wind Mitigation Certification and meets the current Florida Building Code. We document the fastening pattern, secondary water barrier, and roof-to-wall connections so your agent can apply every credit you qualify for.
Every tile roof we install follows the same five steps, whether it's a small repair or a full tear-off. Here's exactly what happens from the first call to the final walkthrough.
We walk the roof, check the attic from inside, and photograph every problem area. You get a written scope with the tile profile, underlayment brand, and flashing details spelled out. Most inspections take 45 to 60 minutes, and you'll know before we leave whether you need a repair or a full replacement.
On replacement jobs we remove the old tile and underlayment down to the deck, then inspect every sheet of plywood for rot. Soft or delaminated decking gets replaced, and we re-nail loose sheathing to code. A typical 2,000 square foot roof takes two to three days to strip and prep.
We install ice and water shield at the eaves, valleys, and around every penetration, then roll out high-temp underlayment across the field. New drip edge goes on, and we fabricate or replace flashing at the chimney, sidewalls, and skylights. This is the layer that actually keeps water out.
Tiles go down on battens or a mortar bed depending on the profile, each one fastened with ring-shank nails or stainless screws. Ridge and hip tiles get set with foam closures and mechanical fasteners. We chalk line every course so the field stays square and the lines read straight from the street.
We blow the gutters and yard clean with a leaf blower, magnet-sweep the lawn for nails, and walk the roof with you. You get photos of the finished system, the underlayment receipt, and the Wind Mitigation paperwork. Most full replacements wrap in five to seven working days.
Tile roofing is a specialty trade, and not every roofer in Orange County does it well. Here's what separates our crews from the generalists who bid tile jobs they aren't equipped to finish.
We hold a Florida Roofing License (RR) and carry full general liability and workers' comp coverage. That matters on tile jobs because tile is heavy, and an uninsured crew on your roof is a liability you don't want. We'll show you the certificate before we start.
As a GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we can offer extended manufacturer warranties on the flat and shingle sections of your roof. For tile, we install to Miami-Dade NOA specs so the system passes inspection and qualifies for wind mitigation credits.
We've replaced underlayment under original 1980s tile in Wekiwa Springs and installed new concrete tile in Zellwood. That range matters, because tile roofing near me searches often lead homeowners to crews who mostly do shingles and treat tile as a side job. We do tile every week.
When a storm rolls through Apopka, we're on roofs in Ocoee, Clarcona, and Forest City the same day for emergency tarping and leak control. We know which neighborhoods flood, which ones lose power, and which tile profiles are common in each subdivision, so we show up with the right materials.
Every tile roofing project we take on includes the core work that makes the system last, plus the documentation Florida insurance carriers want. Here's what's covered on a standard installation or replacement, and what we handle as an add-on when your roof needs it.
We remove the old tile, underlayment, and flashing down to the deck, then haul everything off-site. Dumpster, disposal fees, and deck inspection are all part of the job, not line items added later.
Ice and water shield at the eaves, valleys, and penetrations, plus high-temp underlayment across the field. This is the layer that actually keeps water out, and we don't cut corners on it.
New flashing at the chimney, sidewalls, valleys, and skylights. We fabricate custom pieces when the standard profiles don't fit, and we seal every penetration with polyurethane roof sealant.
Clay or concrete tile set on battens or a mortar bed, fastened with ring-shank nails or stainless screws. Ridge and hip tiles get foam closures and mechanical fasteners to meet Florida Building Code wind requirements.
New drip edge at the eaves and proper ridge vent and soffit vents to balance attic airflow. Good ventilation protects the underlayment and keeps your attic cooler in the summer.
Photos of the fastening pattern, secondary water barrier, and roof-to-wall connections, packaged so your insurance agent can apply every wind mitigation credit you qualify for.
Most tile roof failures in Apopka trace back to the underlayment, flashing, or fasteners, not the tile itself. Here are the problems we see most often and how we fix them.
Water is getting under the tile through failed underlayment and soaking your attic insulation and drywall. Left alone, it spreads to framing and turns into a mold problem.
We hose-test the roof to find the entry point, then replace the failed underlayment section and reset the tile. In most cases we can fix it without replacing the whole roof, which saves thousands.
Missing tiles expose the underlayment to direct UV and rain, and the gap lets wind get under adjacent tiles. One missing tile often leads to a cluster of failures.
We stock common concrete and clay profiles, so we can replace cracked and slipped tiles in a single visit. We also check the fasteners on surrounding tiles and re-secure any that are loose.
Flashing fails long before tile does. A small flashing leak can rot the chimney framing and stain the ceiling below within one wet season.
We rebuild the flashing and counter-flashing at the chimney, reseal the skylight curb, and replace any rotted framing we find. Then we water-test the repair before we leave.
Algae holds moisture against the tile surface and shortens its life. It also makes the roof look decades older than it is, which hurts curb appeal and resale value.
We soft-wash the roof with an algae-killing solution, never pressure-wash, which would strip the tile surface. Most roofs come back to original color in one treatment and stay clean for two to three years.
We inspect the underlayment from the attic and roof surface, then replace just the underlayment and reset your original tile. This is the most common tile job we do in Apopka.
You get another 25 to 30 years of roof life for roughly half the cost of a full replacement, and your original tile stays on the house.
We tarp the affected area the same day, then return with matching tile and fasteners to make permanent repairs. We document the damage for your insurance claim.
No further water intrusion, a repair that matches the rest of the roof, and paperwork your adjuster can use.
We do a full inspection covering underlayment, flashing, fasteners, and attic ventilation, then give you a written report with photos and a repair estimate.
You know exactly what you're buying and can negotiate the price with real numbers instead of guesses.
We inspect the roof-to-deck attachment, secondary water barrier, roof-to-wall connections, and roof geometry, then complete the OIR-B1-1802 form.
You get the documentation your carrier needs, and most Apopka homeowners qualify for premium discounts.
Fastens underlayment and battens quickly and consistently. We set the depth so nails seat flush without tearing the underlayment, which is a common failure point on rushed jobs.
Keeps every course of tile square and straight. Tile lines are visible from the street, so a roof installed without chalk lines reads crooked even when it's watertight.
Cuts and shapes metal flashing at valleys, chimneys, and sidewalls. Custom-fabricated flashing fits tighter than off-the-shelf pieces, which is where most leaks start.
Used for setting tile, pulling old fasteners, and lifting tile without cracking it during repairs. We reuse original tile whenever it's sound, which saves you money.
Tile roofs are steep and slick, especially after morning dew. Every crew member is tied off, and we use stabilizers so ladders don't damage gutters or fascia.
Clears valleys, gutters, and the yard at the end of every job. We also magnet-sweep the lawn for nails, because tile roofs generate a lot of fasteners during tear-off.
Applies polyurethane roof sealant at penetrations, counter-flashing, and ridge closures. We use sealant rated for Florida UV so it doesn't crack in two summers.
Every tile roof we install meets the current Florida Building Code wind requirements for Orange County. That includes the fastening schedule, secondary water barrier, and flashing details that inspectors check.
We install tile and underlayment products that carry Miami-Dade NOA approvals, which is the toughest wind standard in the country. It's also what many Florida insurance carriers want to see for wind mitigation credits.
Standard felt dries out and tears under Florida heat. We use high-temp underlayment rated for the surface temperatures tile roofs reach in July, which is why our underlayment lasts 25 to 30 years.
We match ridge vent exhaust to soffit vent intake so air moves through the attic the way it should. Poor ventilation cooks the underlayment from below and shortens roof life.
Apopka sits in a high-wind zone, so tile roofing here has to meet Florida Building Code wind requirements that don't apply in calmer parts of the country. Summer surface temperatures on a tile roof routinely hit 150 degrees, which is why we only install high-temp underlayment. The wet season from June through September dumps most of our annual rain in afternoon thunderstorms, so valleys and flashing get tested hard every year. Most of the tile roofs we work on were built between 1980 and 2005, and the underlayment on those homes is at or past the end of its life. If you've been looking for tile roofing South Apopka FL or anywhere in the 32712 and 32703 ZIP codes, the conversation usually starts with the underlayment, not the tile. We also work with a lot of homeowners who need a tile roofing contractor Orange County FL can rely on for wind mitigation documentation, because insurance carriers here are strict about it.
Many homes here have original 1980s concrete tile with underlayment that's now failing. We do a lot of underlayment-only replacements in this area.
Older housing stock with a mix of tile and shingle roofs. Tile repairs here often involve matching discontinued profiles, which we source from regional suppliers.
Larger lots and more wind exposure than neighborhoods closer to town. Tile fastening and ridge closures matter more here, and we spec accordingly.
Mix of older tile roofs and newer builds. We see a lot of flashing failures at chimneys on the older homes in this neighborhood.
Tree cover means more debris in valleys and gutters. Annual maintenance makes a real difference on tile roofs here.
Standard underlayment dries out and tears in 10 to 15 years. We install high-temp products rated for Florida heat so the underlayment lasts 25 to 30 years.
Tile fastening, ridge closures, and secondary water barriers have to meet Florida Building Code. We document all of it so you can claim wind mitigation insurance credits.
Valleys and flashing get tested hard every wet season. We pay extra attention to these areas during installation because that's where leaks show up first.
Algae holds moisture against the tile and shortens its life. We soft-wash roofs to kill algae without damaging the tile surface.
A 1988 concrete tile roof was leaking into the garage ceiling after every storm. Two other roofers recommended a full replacement at $28,000. The tile itself was in good shape, but the original felt underlayment had dried out and torn across the whole south slope.
We replaced the underlayment with high-temp material, reset the original tile, and replaced the valley flashing. Total cost was $13,400, and the roof has stayed dry through two hurricane seasons. The homeowner kept the original tile and saved about $14,600.
Keep valleys clear of oak leaves and schedule an inspection every two years. We check the underlayment at the eaves and reseal any flashing that's starting to dry out.
A summer storm dropped a limb across the ridge and cracked 14 tiles on a 1990s home. Water was running down the chimney and staining the living room ceiling. The homeowner needed the roof sealed before the next afternoon storm.
We tarped the damaged area the same day, then returned two days later with matching concrete tile. We replaced the 14 cracked tiles, rebuilt the chimney flashing, and re-secured the ridge. Total repair was $2,850, and the insurance claim covered most of it.
After any storm, walk the yard and look for tile fragments. A quick call for a roof inspection catches cracked tiles before the next rain gets under them.
A 1995 tile roof on a 2,400 square foot home had reached the end of its life. The underlayment was gone, several tiles were missing, and the deck had soft spots near the chimney. The homeowner wanted a system that would outlast the house.
We tore off to the deck, replaced 11 sheets of rotted plywood, installed new ice and water shield and high-temp underlayment, and set new concrete tile with Miami-Dade NOA-approved fasteners. The job took six working days and cost $32,400. The home now qualifies for wind mitigation credits.
Annual roof maintenance keeps the system on track. We clear debris, check the ridge closures, and reseal flashing so the underlayment reaches its full 30-year life.
Most full tile roof replacements in Apopka run $18,000 to $45,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, tile profile, and whether the deck needs repair. A 2,000 square foot home with standard concrete tile typically lands around $24,000 to $30,000. Underlayment-only replacement under existing tile, which is common on 25 to 35 year old roofs, runs $9,000 to $16,000 and saves the cost of new tile.
The tile itself lasts 50 years or more, but the underlayment underneath fails first, usually at 20 to 30 years in Apopka's heat and humidity. That's why we separate the two lifespans. If your tile is in good shape and the roof is leaking, we can often replace just the underlayment and reset the original tile, which buys another 25 to 30 years for roughly half the cost of a new roof.

Yes, when they're installed to current Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade NOA standards. Concrete and clay tile systems fastened with ring-shank nails and foam closures at the ridge hold through 110 to 130 mph gusts, which covers most of what Apopka sees. The key is the fastening pattern and the secondary water barrier. We document both so you can claim the wind mitigation insurance credit.
Roof Repair Apopka replaced the underlayment under our original tile roof in Wekiwa Springs. They showed us photos of the failed felt and explained why we didn't need new tile. Saved us over $14,000 and the roof has been dry ever since.
Storm knocked tiles loose and they tarped the roof the same day. Came back two days later with matching tile and rebuilt the chimney flashing. Clean work, fair price, and they handled the insurance paperwork for us.
We've used them on three rental properties in the Apopka area. They document everything with photos, which makes claims easy, and they show up when they say they will. Their wind mitigation paperwork has saved my owners real money.
Full tile replacement on our 1995 home in Zellwood. Six working days start to finish, and the crew cleaned up every day. The new roof passed inspection and we got the wind mitigation credit on our insurance.
New construction and full tear-off installations across Apopka, including tile, shingle, and metal systems. We handle permits, decking, underlayment, and final inspection so you get a roof that passes Orange County code the first time.
Roof InstallationWhen your tile roof reaches the end of its life, we tear off to the deck, replace any rotted sheathing, and install a new system. Most Apopka replacements finish in five to seven working days with full cleanup.
Roof ReplacementCracked tiles, slipped tiles, and flashing failures get fixed fast. We stock common concrete and clay profiles so most repairs are done in a single visit without waiting on special orders.
Roof RepairA 21-point inspection covers underlayment condition, flashing, fasteners, and attic ventilation. You get photos and a written report, which is what insurance carriers want before they issue a wind mitigation credit.
Roof InspectionAnnual tune-ups keep tile roofs ahead of leaks. We clear valleys, reseal flashing, replace cracked tiles, and check the underlayment at the eaves where most failures start.
Roof MaintenanceStorm damage, fallen limbs, and sudden leaks get same-day attention across Apopka. We stabilize the roof, stop water intrusion, and document everything for your insurance claim.
Emergency Roof RepairWhen a storm opens your roof, we tarp it the same day to stop water damage. Tarps are secured to code and stay in place until permanent repairs can be scheduled.
Emergency TarpingTile roof leaks are tricky because water travels under the tile before it shows up inside. We use moisture meters and hose testing to find the actual entry point, then repair it at the source.
Leak Detection and RepairAfter a hurricane or tropical storm, we assess tile, flashing, and underlayment damage, then handle the repair and the insurance paperwork. We work directly with adjusters to document the loss.
Storm Damage Roof RepairHail cracks tile and bruises underlayment. We inspect after every major hail event, replace damaged tile, and document the damage so your claim is supported.
Hail Damage Roof RepairFor flat sections and low-slope areas on mixed-roof homes, a reflective coating extends roof life and drops attic heat. We prep, prime, and apply coatings rated for Florida UV.
Roof CoatingShingle roofs remain the budget option for Apopka homes. We install architectural shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed with manufacturer-backed warranties.
Asphalt Shingle RoofingStanding seam metal is a strong alternative to tile for homeowners who want a lighter roof with similar longevity. We install panels rated for Florida wind zones.
Metal RoofingCorrugated metal panels are common on Apopka outbuildings, porches, and older homes. We repair and replace panels, fasteners, and closures.
Corrugated Metal RoofingMany Apopka homes have flat sections over garages, additions, or porches. We install and repair flat systems that tie into the tile roof correctly at transitions.
Flat RoofingTPO membrane is the go-to for flat and low-slope roofs on Apopka commercial buildings and additions. It's white, reflective, and handles Florida UV without chalking.
TPO RoofingEPDM rubber membrane is a durable, low-maintenance option for flat roofs. We install and repair EPDM on homes and small commercial buildings throughout Orange County.
EPDM RoofingPVC membrane resists chemicals and grease, which makes it a fit for restaurants and kitchens. We install PVC on flat roofs where TPO or EPDM won't hold up.
PVC RoofingModified bitumen is a proven flat-roof system for Apopka homes with low-slope sections. We install torch-down and self-adhered versions with proper flashing details.
Modified Bitumen RoofingFlat and low-slope commercial roofs across Apopka get TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified bitumen systems installed and maintained on schedules that fit your business hours.
Commercial RoofingTile roofs shed a lot of water fast. We size and install downspouts that move it away from your foundation, which prevents the soil erosion and slab issues common in Apopka.
Downspout InstallationClogged or disconnected downspouts send water into your fascia and foundation. We repair, reseal, and re-route downspouts so runoff goes where it should.
Downspout RepairRot behind the gutter is common on older Apopka homes. We replace fascia and soffit boards, then paint and seal them so water stops getting behind the trim.
Fascia and Soffit RepairProper ridge vent and soffit vents keep attic heat and moisture moving. We balance intake and exhaust so your tile roof and insulation both perform the way they should.
Roof VentilationSkylight leaks are a frequent source of ceiling stains under tile roofs. We replace flashing, reseal curbs, and install Velux units when it's time for a new one.
Skylight Installation and RepairChimney flashing fails long before tile does. We rebuild the flashing, counter-flashing, and sealant so water stops running down the brick and into your attic.
Chimney Flashing RepairInsulation under the roof deck reduces heat transfer into the attic. We install products rated for Florida's climate and pair them with proper ventilation.
Roof InsulationBlown-in attic insulation is one of the cheapest ways to cut cooling costs in Apopka. We top off existing insulation to current R-value recommendations.
Attic InsulationAlgae streaks and debris shorten roof life. We soft-wash tile and shingle roofs with solutions that kill algae without the pressure that damages tile.
Roof CleaningReal experiences from customers who chose our Tile Roofing services
Our 1988 tile roof started leaking over the garage and two other roofers told us we needed a full replacement. Roof Repair Apopka found the underlayment was shot but the tile was fine, replaced just the underlayment, and reset the original tile. Saved us about $14,000 and the roof has been dry through two hurricane seasons.
Homeowner, Wekiwa Springs
We had three cracked tiles and a leak at the chimney flashing after a storm. They came out the next day, matched the tile profile exactly, and rebuilt the flashing. The crew was clean, polite, and swept the yard for nails before they left. No leaks since and the repair blended in perfectly.
