What Is the Difference Between Clay and Concrete Tile Roofing?

How Do Tile Roofs Perform During Florida Hurricanes?

Properly installed tile roofs meet Miami-Dade wind uplift standards exceeding 180 mph. Suntec Roofing uses mechanical fastening with corrosion-resistant hardware, peel-and-stick underlayment for full waterproofing, and correct headlap overlap to meet Florida Building Code hurricane specifications for every tile installation in Kissimmee.

Central Florida homeowners near Kissimmee's Shingle Creek, Poinciana, and Celebration communities face regular hurricane and tropical storm threats. Tile roofing — when installed by an experienced contractor — outperforms most other materials in sustained high-wind events. The interlocking profile creates a continuous barrier, and the weight of each tile provides natural resistance to uplift forces.

Our Process

How Does Suntec Handle Tile Roof Installation in Kissimmee?

Every tile roof project starts with a structural assessment and ends with a multi-point inspection. Suntec Roofing follows a four-stage process refined over 35+ years of Central Florida installations — ensuring proper load distribution, waterproof underlayment, and code-compliant fastening on every home.

Structural Assessment

We evaluate your roof deck, trusses, and load capacity to confirm your home can support tile. Older Kissimmee homes may need reinforcement — we identify this before work begins.

Underlayment & Prep

We install self-adhering peel-and-stick underlayment for complete waterproofing, then set battens and flashing at valleys, penetrations, and edges per Florida Building Code.

Tile Installation

Each tile is mechanically fastened with corrosion-resistant screws and hurricane clips. We maintain precise headlap and sidelap measurements for wind uplift resistance.

Final Inspection

Our crew performs a 42-point walkthrough checking every fastener, seal, and flashing connection. We schedule your county inspection and walk you through the warranty documentation.

FAQ

What Are the Most Common Questions About Tile Roofing in Kissimmee?

What is the difference between clay and concrete tile roofing?

Clay tiles are kiln-fired natural clay that resists fading and can last 75-100 years. Concrete tiles are molded from cement, sand, and water — they cost 20-40% less than clay, weigh slightly more, and typically last 50-75 years. Both perform well in Florida hurricanes when properly installed.

How much does a tile roof cost in Kissimmee, FL?

Tile roofing in Kissimmee typically costs $15,000-$45,000 for an average home, depending on tile type (clay vs. concrete), roof complexity, and underlayment requirements. Concrete tile runs $350-$600 per square (100 sq ft), while clay tiles run $600-$1,000 per square installed.

Can my home support the weight of a tile roof?

Tile roofing weighs 600-1,100 pounds per square — about 2-4 times heavier than asphalt shingles. Most Florida homes built after 1990 are engineered to support tile. Older homes may need a structural evaluation. Suntec Roofing provides free assessments to confirm your roof deck and trusses can handle the load.

Can you match existing tiles on my roof for a partial repair?

Yes. Suntec Roofing maintains supplier relationships across Central Florida and access to discontinued tile profiles. We can source matching clay or concrete tiles for most roofs in the Kissimmee area. When an exact match is unavailable, we strategically relocate tiles from less visible areas and place new tiles there instead.

How often does a tile roof need maintenance?

Tile roofs in Kissimmee should be inspected annually and after every major storm. Maintenance typically involves checking for cracked or displaced tiles, clearing debris from valleys, inspecting flashing, and ensuring underlayment remains intact. The tiles themselves rarely need replacement — most maintenance addresses the components beneath them.

How do tile roofs perform during hurricanes?

Properly installed tile roofs meet Miami-Dade wind uplift standards (up to 180+ mph). The key is installation method — mechanical fastening with corrosion-resistant screws and hurricane clips, proper underlayment (we use peel-and-stick for full waterproofing), and correct headlap overlap. Suntec installs to Florida Building Code hurricane requirements.
