Localized Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does a concrete tile roof last in Palm Beach and Broward County?
A properly installed concrete or clay tile roof typically lasts 30 to 50 years in South Florida. However, the underlayment underneath the tiles handles most of the waterproofing and usually needs replacement every 20 to 25 years.
What is the typical cost difference between a tile roof and a shingle roof replacement?
An asphalt shingle roof replacement features lower upfront material and labor costs, making it an affordable options for many homeowners. Concrete or clay tile installations require a higher initial investment due to the cost of premium materials, structural truss reinforcement checks, and the specialized labor needed for proper installation.
Will my new tile or shingle roof meet current Florida hurricane codes?
Yes. Every roof system installed by Aastro Roofing meets or exceeds the strict criteria of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) guidelines within the Florida Building Code. This includes using ring-shank nail patterns on the deck, installing secondary water barriers, and using enhanced fastening techniques.
Can I change my existing shingle roof to a heavy tile roof?
It depends on the structural capacity of your home. Because concrete and clay tiles are significantly heavier than asphalt shingles, a licensed structural engineer must evaluate your roof trusses and load-bearing walls to ensure they can safely support the extra weight.
