Tile Roof Installation & Repair in Central Florida

Tile is the longest-lasting roof material in Florida — 50+ years for the tile itself — but the underlayment beneath fails at year 20-25, which is when most Central Florida tile roofs need attention. Matata Roofing specializes in tile underlayment replacement and tile repair, not just easy shingle work.

Pricing band: $21,500 – $45,000. 2,000 sq ft tile underlayment replacement (tile re-used). Broken tile repair $400-$1,200.

We work on Eagle, Crown, US Tile concrete and clay profiles — flat, low-profile, and barrel. The common job in Central Florida isn't a full tile replacement (the tile is fine), it's pulling the existing tile, replacing the failed underlayment with peel-and-stick membrane, and re-laying the tile with new battens and fasteners. Done right, that adds another 25-30 years before you touch the roof again.

If a few tiles are broken from foot traffic or a falling branch, we carry replacement stock for the most common Central Florida profiles and can match the color through weathering. Matched tile repairs run $400-$1,200 instead of the $8,000+ partial-section replacements other roofers quote.

Tile Roofing FAQ

Does my tile roof need replacement or just underlayment?

If the tiles are intact, almost always just underlayment. Tiles last 50+ years; the membrane below them fails at year 20-25. We pull, re-lay, and re-use.

Can you match my exact tile color?

We stock the most common Central Florida concrete profiles and can typically match within one tone. Sun-weathered match is best at 6+ months exposure.

Tile vs metal vs shingle in Florida?

Tile lasts longest (50+ yrs), looks best on Mediterranean architecture, but costs 2-3× shingle. Worth it only if you love the look or plan to stay 25+ years.
