Tile Roofing is an extremely popular choice around us here in the state of Florida. It takes a lot of experience and knowledge for a roofer to be able to work efficiently on tile roofs. Luckily, through our extensive hiring and training process, we have found and continue to find the best roofers working in the industry.
Residential Services
Not any roofer or installer can properly take on a tile roof. Even then the differences in technique and workflow for a new house with tile is different from replacing an old tile roof with a new tile roof. Repairs pose difficulties in that leaks can be hard to pinpoint if you have not been experienced on hundreds if not thousands of different tile roofing projects.
Clay Tile
Clay may look similar to dyed concrete but the differences can add up for some homeowners. Clay tiles are more durable compared to concrete. A properly installed clay roof can last over 100 years.
Meanwhile, concrete tile is usually expected by manufacturers to last around 50 years. (The underlayment will need to be replaced well before the tiles). Clay tile also age much better in regards to color. Concrete tiles start to fade after a few years, clay tiles will hold their color for much longer.
This aspect of clay tiles helps to add back significant value if the owners want to sell the home down the line. The benefits of installing a clay tile roof on your home does come at a higher cost. A clay tile roof will be more expensive than the majority of roofs you could put on your home. Only real slate tile and some specialty metal roofs will carry a larger price tag..
Metal Tile Roofing
Often overlooked, tiles can be formed and fabricated out of many types of metals and in various colors. The durability of metal is very high. Not prone to cracking or breaking like many other types of tile roofing type.
Many roofing companies tend not to bring up metal tile roof either because they forget or don’t have the crews. If you are looking for a local roofer to give you an estimate for metal tile roofing give us a call or send us an email to info@sciroof.com with your name, phone number and address and we will give you a free quote.

Shingles are a popular, affordable choice for those who seek weather protection while enjoying a huge selection of beautiful colors and architectural accents to complement their home.
Various designer and premium selections of shingles are available and can create many different looks including slate, shaker style, tile, and contrasting color blends.
I want to thank Southern Coatings for doing a fantastic job on my new roof for my preschool in Boca Raton. They were very professional to deal with and they worked around my business hours to get the job done in a very fast manor. I would recommend them to use for any roofing needs. The price was right too!!!
