Tile roofs are impressively durable, often lasting 50 years or more in Florida’s climate when properly installed and maintained. The tiles themselves can last even longer—sometimes up to 100 years! However, the underlayment beneath the tiles typically needs replacement every 20-25 years. This maintenance step is crucial but less expensive than a complete roof replacement. Clay and concrete tiles excel in our hot, humid conditions, resisting rot, insect damage, and fire while providing excellent energy efficiency. Their weight also helps them withstand strong winds, making them an excellent long-term investment for Florida homeowners looking for both longevity and curb appeal.
