What is the difference between concrete roof tiles and clay roof tiles?

Concrete tiles are made from cement-based materials and come in many shapes and colors, often at a lower upfront cost. Clay tiles are fired from natural clay and are known for their classic appearance and color retention. Both can work well in Florida when properly installed; the best choice depends on style, weight, and budget.

How long does a concrete or clay tile roof last in Florida?

Concrete and clay roof tiles can last for decades, and some products may last 50 years or more. But underlayment, flashing, and other parts of the roof often need attention sooner—especially in Florida’s heat and heavy rain. We assess the whole tile roof, not just the visible tiles.

Can broken or cracked roof tiles be repaired without replacing the entire roof?

Usually, yes. Individual cracked or broken roof tiles can often be replaced if suitable matching tiles are available and the roof underneath is sound. We also check for damaged underlayment or flashing that may need repair.

Our Clients Say it Best

Unity Roofing was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Their workmanship was excellent, and even the inspector told me I had picked a great company. They kept me informed throughout the entire job, were reliable, friendly, and cleaned everything up perfectly when they were done. On top of all that, their pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work they delivered. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend them.
I had a total roof replacement including plywood.
