Tile roofing in Tampa Bay & Orlando
On a tile roof the tile is the rain screen and the underlayment is the waterproofing — which is why a 40-year-old tile roof can look perfect from the street and leak like a sieve.

Pricing your roof…
One momentGot it — an estimator will call.
They will want to walk the roof: the drainage, the access and the deck are what price a flat system, and none of it shows up from the air.
One contract, one company responsible — JAC is a licensed general contractor as well as a roofer.
Got it — we have your details.
You are outside Tampa Bay and Central Florida, so this is a call rather than a price. Someone will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
If we cannot, we will say so and point you at someone who can. A roofer who drives two hours to a job is a roofer who is not there when it leaks.
Got it — we have your details.
A roofer from the Tampa Bay office will call you to book your free inspection. You get the same written roof report, photographed slope by slope, and a fixed price once someone has actually been on the roof.
We do not show an instant price on the Gulf Coast. The aerial pricing tool only covers Central Florida, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number at all.
- 1Drop in your address. Street and number is plenty.
- 2We call down the satellite. It photographs your roof from orbit while you wait.
- 3An estimator calls you with the price. Shingle, metal or flat — a real number for your roof, not a screen guess.
Nobody turns up unannounced. An estimator calls you at a time you agree to, with the price.
On a tile roof the tile is the rain screen and the underlayment is the waterproofing — which is why a 40-year-old tile roof can look perfect from the street and leak like a sieve. Most tile work in Florida is re-underlayment, not replacement: the tiles come off, a new system goes down, and the same tiles go back on.
Typical Florida range: $25,000–$55,000 for a new concrete tile roof; lift-and-relay re-underlayment typically $14,000–$30,000, or 40–60% of a full replacement. That is a market range for comparison, not a quote — the free inspection produces your actual number.
Financing available — plans from $99.59/month through Service Finance, with a 12-month no-interest option and no prepayment penalty. See the options.
What we get called out for
Leaks on a tile roof that looks fine
Classic failed underlayment. The tiles are doing their job; the felt or synthetic beneath them has gone brittle after 20-odd years of Florida heat.
Cracked, slipped or missing tiles
Usually foot traffic from another trade, or a storm. Individual tiles are replaceable — the problem is the underlayment they stop shading once they're gone.
Your insurer wants the roof's age
On tile, 'roof age' to a carrier usually means underlayment age, not tile age. A documented re-underlayment resets that conversation.
White chalky deposits or efflorescence
Cosmetic on concrete tile and not a structural problem — but it often arrives alongside genuine ageing, so it's worth an inspection rather than a pressure wash.
Sagging or uneven tile lines
Tile is heavy — concrete runs around 9–12 lb per square foot. Sagging means the battens or the decking under them have given way and the job is bigger than a tile swap.

What customers said about this work
4.9 out of 5 from 294 Google reviews on our Tampa Bay profile, as of October 2026 — 439 across both divisions. Every review below is a real one.
“From start to finish the process was seamless — from the sales team, to the office help, to the crew, to the clean up. We have a 3,000 sq ft roof and the job was completed within 2 days, start to finish. Prior to starting, the crew prepped the area around our home to keep the mess neat. They are licensed & insured and provided all documentation to verify.”
“JAC Builders delivered exceptional service from start to finish. They made the roofing process seamless, assisting with my insurance claim and answering all my questions. The final product exceeded my expectations.”
“JAC Builders and Roofing did an outstanding job on my roof in half a day, including a full run roof ridge vent and patching the old ones. Everything clean and neat when they left. Everything was coordinated perfectly — materials, the dumpster and the job.”
“Communication was on point, demo and installation was quick — just within about half a day — and my yard was debris free after all was said and done. Great workmanship quality, 10/10 would recommend.”
“JAC replaced my damaged roof. They were extremely professional at all levels of this process. Their cleanup crew was meticulous. Highly recommend this company.”
“Roof was up and done in 1 day. He made sure I had extra protection on the roof which also will help with insurance discounts. Allyson and her team were professional the entire day, made sure everything was covered and cleaned up, and came back to double check and inspect the roof.”
“The roof installation was the most efficient and impressive experience I have ever had with any kind of home improvement. I cannot say enough good things about the way JAC got this job done start to finish. Our roof is beautiful!”
“I love my new roof! He helped me from A to Z — understanding the entire process, what to expect from both the insurance company as well as the roofing job itself. This was so much easier than I thought it was going to be.”
“Great roofing company. They work fast but with quality. Phil was very helpful in processing everything.”
“They were thorough and efficient. They met and exceeded my expectations.”
“Reggie and the office personnel were excellent — very professional.”
Tile Roofing — questions we get asked
How long does a tile roof last in Florida?
The tiles outlast almost everything — 40–50 years and often well beyond for concrete, 50 to 75-plus for clay. The underlayment beneath them is the clock on the system: 20–25 years for a self-adhered or synthetic system, and as little as 8–12 for organic felt in Florida heat. That is why lift-and-relay exists — you buy another twenty years without buying new tile.
What is lift and relay (re-underlayment)?
The tiles are carefully removed and stacked, the old underlayment is stripped, the decking is inspected and repaired, a new code-compliant underlayment goes down, and the original tiles go back on with replacements for whatever broke. Usually 20–30% cheaper than a new tile roof and it keeps the look of the house identical.
What does tile roofing cost in the Tampa and Orlando markets?
A new concrete tile roof typically runs $25,000–$55,000; clay runs higher, roughly $35,000–$65,000. Lift-and-relay re-underlayment is generally $14,000–$30,000 — reckon on 40–60% of what a full tile replacement would cost, which is the most useful rule of thumb on this page. Market ranges, not quotes.
Concrete or clay?
Concrete is cheaper, heavier, comes in more profiles, and fades over time. Clay holds colour almost indefinitely, is lighter per tile, and costs substantially more. Both outlive the underlayment under them, which is the part that decides your maintenance schedule.
Can I walk on my tile roof?
Not casually. Tile cracks underfoot if you step in the wrong place, and the cracks often don't show until it rains. If something needs doing up there — a satellite dish, gutter cleaning, a solar install — have someone who knows tile do it.
Can I switch from tile to shingle?
Yes, and it's cheaper up front, but check your HOA first — many Florida communities specifically require tile. You'll also need the structure evaluated, since the roof was designed for the load.
Not sure about the colour? Try the colour visualiser — the full Owens Corning range on a house, plus what Florida sun, humidity and an HOA palette do to a colour once it is up.
Questions people ask before they call
- Shingle, tile or metal — which roof is right for a Florida home?For most Florida homes, architectural shingle is the right answer: it is the cheapest to install at roughly $11,000–$20,000 on a 22–26 square roof.
- How long does it take to replace a roof?A typical Florida single-family shingle roof is a one to two day job once the crew is on site: tear off and dry-in on day one, finish on day two.
- How long does a roof last in Florida?In Florida, architectural asphalt shingle realistically lasts about 15–20 years despite a 25–30 year rating, and 3-tab about 10–15.
- How much does a roof replacement cost in Florida?Florida roofs are priced per square — 100 square feet of roof surface — and a single-storey 2,000 square foot home is usually 22–26 squares.
