Recognizing Common Tile Roof Issues

Is Your Tile Roof Showing Signs of Damage?

Tile roofs are known for their longevity and resilience, but even the most durable systems can develop problems over time. Cracked or broken tiles are among the most visible signs of trouble, often resulting from storm impacts, falling branches, or simple age-related deterioration. When tiles become damaged, water can infiltrate the underlayment and decking, leading to leaks that compromise your property's interior and create conditions for mold growth. Missing tiles leave your roof even more vulnerable, exposing the protective layers beneath to direct sunlight and rain.

Beyond visible tile damage, underlayment deterioration presents a serious concern that's not always immediately apparent. The underlayment serves as a critical waterproof barrier, and when it breaks down, moisture can seep through even if the tiles themselves appear intact. This hidden damage often manifests as water stains on ceilings, damp spots in attics, or unexplained increases in energy costs due to compromised insulation. Flashing failures around chimneys, vents, and valleys also contribute to leak problems, allowing water to bypass the tile system entirely.

If you've noticed any of these warning signs or your tile roof is approaching 15 years or older, it's wise to schedule a professional tile roof inspection. Early detection of damaged tiles, failing underlayment, or improper installation issues can prevent minor concerns from escalating into costly structural repairs. Our team at Fort Myers Roofing provides thorough assessments that identify current problems and potential weak points, giving you the information needed to make informed decisions about tile roof repair or replacement throughout Fort Myers and surrounding areas in Lee County.

      Our experience with Fort Myers Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Fort Myers Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Fort Myers Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Fort Myers Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Fort Myers Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Fort Myers Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Fort Myers Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Fort Myers Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Fort Myers Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Fort Myers Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Fort Myers Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Fort Myers Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Fort Myers Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Fort Myers Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Fort Myers Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Fort Myers Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Fort Myers Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Fort Myers Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Fort Myers Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Fort Myers Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Fort Myers Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Fort Myers Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Fort Myers Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Fort Myers Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Fort Myers Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Fort Myers Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Fort Myers Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Fort Myers Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Fort Myers Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Fort Myers Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Fort Myers Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Fort Myers Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Fort Myers Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Fort Myers Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Fort Myers Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Fort Myers Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Fort Myers Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Fort Myers Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Tile Roofing FAQs for Fort Myers Homeowners

      We understand that choosing tile roofing and selecting the right contractor involves many considerations and questions. Fort Myers Roofing believes in transparency and education, which is why we've compiled answers to the most common questions we receive from property owners throughout Lee County. Our experienced team is always ready to provide additional information and help you make informed decisions about your tile roofing needs.

      Tile roofing offers exceptional durability, often lasting several decades with proper maintenance. Both clay and concrete tiles provide superior fire resistance and perform well in Florida's challenging climate, withstanding high winds, intense sun, and heavy rainfall. Tile roofs also offer excellent energy efficiency, reflecting heat rather than absorbing it, which can help reduce cooling costs. The aesthetic versatility of tile roofing allows homeowners to achieve various architectural styles, from traditional Mediterranean to modern coastal designs. While the initial investment is typically higher than some alternatives, the longevity and low maintenance requirements often make tile roofing a cost-effective choice over the long term.
      Several factors determine whether repair or replacement is the better option for your tile roof. If damage is limited to a small number of broken or missing tiles and the underlayment remains in good condition, targeted repairs often prove sufficient and cost-effective. However, when underlayment deterioration becomes widespread, multiple areas show water intrusion, or a significant percentage of tiles have cracked or shifted, replacement may be more practical. The age of your roof also plays a role - systems approaching or exceeding their expected lifespan may benefit from replacement rather than ongoing repairs. A thorough professional inspection provides the clearest picture of your roof's condition, allowing you to weigh repair costs against the benefits of a new installation with updated materials and warranty protection.
      When properly installed with appropriate attachment methods and quality materials, tile roofing can provide excellent wind resistance suitable for Florida's hurricane-prone climate. Modern installation techniques include enhanced fastening systems, proper underlayment selection, and attention to vulnerable areas like ridges and eaves. Many tile products are specifically rated for high wind zones and meet or exceed local building code requirements for coastal regions. However, the quality of installation matters significantly - improper attachment, inadequate underlayment, or substandard materials can compromise wind resistance regardless of the tile type. Working with experienced contractors who understand hurricane-resistant installation practices ensures your tile roof is prepared to handle severe weather events while maintaining its protective function and structural integrity.
      Tile roof maintenance primarily focuses on preserving the integrity of individual tiles, maintaining proper drainage, and ensuring the underlayment remains protected. Regular inspections allow early detection of cracked or displaced tiles, which should be replaced promptly to prevent water infiltration. Keeping valleys, gutters, and drainage paths clear of debris ensures proper water flow and prevents moisture accumulation that could damage underlayment or decking. Professional cleaning removes moss, algae, and organic buildup that can trap moisture and cause deterioration over time. Periodic inspections of flashing around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations help identify potential leak points before they become serious problems. While tile itself requires minimal maintenance, the supporting components benefit from regular attention to ensure the entire system continues performing as designed.
      The two primary tile roofing materials are clay and concrete, each offering distinct characteristics. Clay tiles are made from natural materials fired at high temperatures, resulting in a product known for its longevity, color retention, and classic appearance. Clay tends to be lighter than concrete and often carries a higher initial cost, though many consider it the premium option for tile roofing. Concrete tiles are manufactured from a mixture of sand, cement, and water, offering excellent durability at a generally lower price point than clay. Concrete tiles can be produced in a wider variety of colors and profiles, though some color fading may occur over time. Both materials provide excellent fire resistance, energy efficiency, and weather protection when properly installed. The choice often comes down to aesthetic preferences, budget considerations, and specific performance requirements for your property.
      Tile roofing delivers strong energy efficiency benefits, particularly in warm climates like Southwest Florida. The thermal mass of tile materials helps moderate temperature fluctuations, while the natural air space between tiles and underlayment creates an insulating layer that reduces heat transfer into the building below. Light-colored tiles reflect a significant portion of solar radiation rather than absorbing it, which can substantially decrease cooling loads during hot months. This reflective quality, combined with proper attic ventilation, helps maintain more stable interior temperatures and can lead to noticeable reductions in air conditioning costs. Some tile products carry special coatings or profiles designed to enhance energy performance further, making them particularly well-suited for properties focused on reducing energy consumption and improving overall sustainability without sacrificing protection or aesthetic appeal.
