Concrete and clay tile roofs are the gold standard for South Florida homes — lasting decades, shrugging off UV and salt air, and standing up to hurricane winds. Assured Supreme installs tile roofing that looks the part and performs for the long haul.

Tile has been the signature roof of South Florida for good reason. Concrete and clay tile handle our intense ultraviolet sun, daily heat, and coastal salt air far better than most materials, and a properly installed tile roof routinely lasts forty to fifty years or more. The thermal mass of tile also helps keep homes cooler, which matters when the air conditioning runs nearly year-round.
For Mediterranean, Spanish, and coastal architecture, nothing matches the look of a tile roof. It is the finish that buyers expect on higher-value South Florida homes, and it holds its appearance for decades when installed correctly.
Concrete tile is the more economical choice, offers a wide range of profiles and colors, and performs extremely well in our climate. Clay tile costs more but resists fading better over time and carries a distinctive, premium look that many homeowners prefer for authentic Spanish and Mediterranean designs.
During your free inspection we walk you through both, factoring in your home's structure, since tile is heavier than other materials and the roof framing must be able to carry the load.
A properly installed South Florida tile roof depends on more than the tile itself:
Every tile roof we install meets Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for our High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The combination of a sealed secondary water barrier and properly fastened tile is one of the most storm-resilient roofing systems available in our region.
A properly installed concrete or clay tile roof typically lasts forty to fifty years or more in our climate, often outlasting the underlayment beneath it. The tiles themselves can survive even longer, which is why underlayment replacement is sometimes possible without replacing all the tile.
Yes. Tile is significantly heavier than shingle or metal, so the roof structure must be able to support the load. During your free inspection we confirm your framing is suitable or recommend reinforcement if needed.
In many cases yes, though exact color and profile matches depend on the tile's age and availability. We source the closest match possible and discuss options before any work begins.
Tile, installed to Florida code with a proper secondary water barrier and hurricane-rated fastening, is among the most storm-resilient roofing systems for South Florida. Workmanship is what makes the difference.
Tile costs more than shingle but offers far greater longevity. Price depends on roof size, profile, structural needs, and tear-off. The only accurate number comes from a free on-site inspection and written quote.
