Central Florida
Tile Roofing in Winter Park, FL
The Spanish and Mediterranean homes near the lakes have tile roofs that can outlive several layers of what lies beneath them. We look at both.
- Barrel and flat tile
- Underlayment renewal
- Tile repair
Summary
The tile is only half the roof
A tile roof sheds the sun and most of the rain, but the waterproofing is the underlayment beneath it. Underlayment ages out sooner than clay or concrete tile, so an old tile roof can look fine while the layer beneath has failed.
That is why a tile job in Winter Park usually involves lifting the tile, replacing the underlayment and flashing and then setting the same tile back. The tile is reused where it is sound and replaced where it is broken.
Because tile is heavy, we also check that the roof structure is up to it.
Why us
What you get from USA Roofing
Underlayment first
We assess the layer under the tile before anything else.
Tile reuse
Sound tile is lifted and reset, which can keep the look of an older home.
Careful handling
Tile is walked on carefully, and broken pieces are replaced to match.
Structure checked
Tile is heavy, so we confirm that the framing can carry it.
Tile problems we see
Most are quiet until water appears.
- Slipped or cracked tile after storms
- Underlayment that has dried and split
- Failed flashing at walls and chimneys
- Mortar or foam that has crumbled at ridges
- Moss and algae on shaded tile
Repair, re-roof or replace the tile
Three paths, and the inspection says which one fits.
- Repair: replace broken tile and renew flashing
- Re-roof: lift tile, replace underlayment, reset tile
- Replace: remove and install new tile or another material
- Match: finding tile that fits an older profile
Matching an older profile
Older Mediterranean homes may have tile that is no longer made.
- We check available profiles and colors
- Salvaged tile can fill gaps
- A different profile on a low-visibility slope may be an option
- Historic review may affect choices
Pay for the roof over time
Do not let the budget decide the date
A leak or an insurer's letter sets the schedule, and the money should not hold up the work. Our financing starts a new roof with nothing down.
- No credit check required
- $0 down with 100% financing
- Secured and unsecured financing
- 10, 20 and 30 year terms
- No pre-payment penalty
Terms vary with approved credit and project size. Ask us for the exact numbers on your roof.
The monthly payment for a 15-year home improvement installment loan of $10,000 with an APR of 10.99% would be $113. No down payment required. Not all loan products will be available to all partners or all consumers.
Questions
Tile Roofing: your questions
Does a tile roof need underlayment replacement?
Eventually, yes. The tile can last far longer than the layer beneath it, and once that layer dries and splits, water gets through even though the tile still looks perfect from the street.
Can you reuse my tile?
Often, if it is sound. We lift it carefully, renew the underlayment and flashing, and set the same tile back, replacing only what is broken so that the original look of the house stays.
Is tile right for every house?
No. It needs a roof structure that can carry its weight, so we check the framing before recommending it, and we are honest when metal or shingle would be the better match.
Can you match old tile?
Sometimes. We look for the profile and the color, use salvaged pieces where we can, and tell you plainly what is possible before you decide how to proceed with an older roof.
Do you repair a few broken tiles?
Yes, though we check the underlayment at the same time. A few broken tiles are often a sign of age elsewhere, and it is cheaper to learn that before the next storm than after.
