Tile roofing in Southwest Florida
After shingles, tile is the roof Florida homeowners ask for most. FarFan Contractors repairs and fully re-roofs concrete and clay tile systems on homes in Lee, Charlotte, and Sarasota counties, other areas on request.
When to call
Signs your tile roof needs work
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Tiles that have slipped out of line
- Loose or crumbling ridge and hip caps
- Ceiling stains under a tile roof that looks fine from the street
- An older tile roof that has never had its underlayment replaced
On a tile roof, the tile is not the only layer keeping water out. Water that gets past the tile runs on the underlayment below it. When that layer wears out, a tile roof can leak even when every tile looks fine. That's why a lot of tile work is really about what's under the tile.
Thinking about tile for a house that has shingles or metal now? Tile is heavy, so the roof framing has to be checked to carry it. We look at that before we quote.
What we do
What we do on tile roofs
- Tile repair. We replace cracked or broken tiles, reset slipped ones, and redo worn ridge and hip caps.
- Flashing. We repair or replace flashing at walls, valleys, vents, and other spots where water gets in.
- Full re-roof. We remove the old tile and underlayment, repair the decking, and install new underlayment and tile to Florida code.
- Close out. Permits, inspections, a walkthrough, and cleanup.
Options
Concrete or clay tile
Clay tile
Fired clay, often in the classic barrel shape. The color runs through the tile, so it holds its look well.
Under the tile
The deck and underlayment do the real waterproofing. Before new tile goes on, see how a sealed roof deck works.
Colors

How we work
Our process, step by step
01
Inspect & measure
On-site look at the tile, ridge and hip caps, flashing, and any signs of leaks inside. Measurements if a re-roof is on the table.
02
Choose the path
Repair, or a full re-roof in concrete or clay tile. We tell you which one we'd pick and why.
03
Permit & install
Permits pulled when required. For a re-roof: old tile and underlayment off, decking repaired, new underlayment and tile installed to Florida code.
04
Inspect & close out
Building department sign-off when a permit applies, a walkthrough, and cleanup.
Questions we hear first
It's best not to. Tile can crack underfoot, and a cracked tile may not show until it leaks. Leave it to a roofer who knows where to step.
From our jobs
Recent work
“We had an issue with our tile roof and were advised that a full reroof would be the best option. We decided to try a repair first, and FarFan was happy to help. They came out and fixed the problem on the first visit. Everything went smoothly, and we're really happy we chose to go with the repair. Thanks to the team at FarFan for a great job!”
