Tile roofing is one of the most durable roofing systems available — but it still requires professional maintenance and repair. In Orlando and Central Florida, tile roofs are extremely common on homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, and the most frequent issues we see are broken tiles, failing underlayment, and deteriorated mortar at ridges and hips. Home Pros Roofing and Contracting specializes in tile roof repair throughout Orlando and all of Central Florida. Call 407-766-4388 for a free inspection.
Common Tile Roof Problems in Orlando
- Cracked or broken tiles: Florida storms, falling tree branches, and foot traffic all crack tiles. Individual tiles can usually be replaced without replacing the whole roof.
- Failed underlayment: The most common cause of tile roof leaks in Orlando. Tiles can last 50+ years but the underlayment beneath them typically fails after 15-20 years. If your tile roof is leaking but the tiles look fine from the street, the underlayment has likely failed.
- Crumbling mortar: Ridge caps and hip tiles are set in mortar which degrades over time, especially in Florida heat. Loose ridge caps are a major storm vulnerability.
- Slipped or lifted tiles: Wind can lift and shift tiles, creating water infiltration points even without breaking them.
- Flashing failures: Metal flashing at chimneys, skylights, and vents deteriorates and causes leaks that appear far from the actual entry point.
Tile Roof Repair vs. Full Re-Roof
Not every tile roof problem requires a full replacement. If your tiles are in good condition but the underlayment has failed, we can perform a tile roof re-underlayment — removing the existing tiles carefully, replacing the underlayment, and relaying the original tiles. This extends the life of your roof at a fraction of full replacement cost. During our free inspection, we assess whether repair or re-underlayment makes more sense for your specific situation.
