Why Tile Works in South Florida
Built for the Long Haul
Tile is one of the longest-serving roof systems in South Florida. Many homes in Coral Gables and Coconut Grove still wear their original tile, with periodic underlayment refreshes between.
Hurricane Tested
Tile installed to current Miami-Dade NOA standards is rated for the strongest hurricanes our region sees. Foam adhesive systems and proper fastening keep tiles in place at design wind speeds.
Curb Appeal That Sells Homes
Tile roofs add real estate value in South Florida — especially in tile-dominant neighborhoods. Appraisers and buyers recognize the durability and aesthetic premium.
Tile Roofing FAQ
How much does a tile roof cost in Miami?
Tile roofs cost more than asphalt shingles upfront due to material weight and labor. Concrete tile is more affordable than clay, and pricing depends on roof size, slope, and underlayment system. T&S Roofing provides free, itemized estimates with all material and labor costs broken out so you can compare options confidently.
Concrete tile vs clay tile — which is better?
Both perform well in South Florida. Clay tile holds color longer and has a traditional Mediterranean look, but costs more. Concrete tile is more affordable, comes in more profiles and colors, and is slightly more impact-resistant. Choice usually comes down to aesthetics and budget.
Can my house support a tile roof?
Most homes built or re-roofed in Miami-Dade and Broward in the last few decades were engineered with tile loads in mind. If your home currently has a shingle roof and you want to upgrade to tile, an engineer may need to verify the structure can carry the additional weight. We handle that assessment as part of the estimate.
Are tile roofs hurricane resistant?
Properly installed tile roofs meeting Miami-Dade NOA requirements are highly wind-resistant and routinely survive Category 4+ storms. The key is correct installation: foam adhesive or mechanical fastening per current code, quality underlayment, and proper ridge and hip securement. T&S Roofing installs to or beyond current Miami-Dade code on every project.
