Panther Roof installs, repairs, and re-roofs tile across the Orlando metro. Here’s the part most homeowners never hear: on a tile roof, the tile is rarely the problem. The underlayment beneath it is what keeps water out, and in Florida heat that layer wears out decades before the tile does. A leaking tile roof often needs a re-underlayment, not a full tear-off.
Why Tile Roofing Works in Florida
Tile handles what Florida throws at a roof. It won’t rot, it won’t burn, and clay and concrete can both push past 50 years. The color is baked in, so it holds up instead of fading like a painted surface. It reflects heat rather than soaking it up. Tile is heavier than other materials, so the structure has to support it, which is part of what we check before anything goes up.
Tile Roof Repair in Orlando: Repair, Re-Underlayment, or Replace
Not every tile roof needs to come off. If the tiles are sound but you’re seeing leaks, we can often lift the tile, replace the underlayment, and reset it for a fraction of a full roof replacement. If the tile is cracked across the roof or the deck is compromised, replacement is the smarter spend. We tell you which one you’re actually looking at after the inspection, and we won’t sell you a tear-off you don’t need.
Clay or Concrete Tile in Orlando
Both are excellent. Clay holds its color the longest and gives you that classic barrel look, and it tends to cost more. Concrete tile is more affordable, comes in more shapes, and still lasts for decades. We show you samples on your own roofline so you can see how each one reads on your home.
The Panther Process for a Tile Roof
Every tile job runs the same five steps: a Panther Pro Inspection, a clear written estimate, a pre-site inspection before crews arrive, Panther Precision installation, and a PantherProof walkthrough before you sign off. Tile is precise work, and rushing it is how leaks start. We’d rather do it once. For qualifying projects, we offer 12-month same-as-cash financing.

Tile Roofing FAQs
How long does a tile roof last in Florida?
A tile roof can last 50 years or more, but the underlayment beneath it usually needs replacing around the 20 to 30 year mark. That layer is what actually keeps water out. Staying ahead of the underlayment is what gets you the full life out of the tile.
Can you repair a few broken tiles without replacing the whole roof?
Yes. Cracked or slipped tiles are a common repair, and we match the profile and color as closely as we can. If the leak is coming from worn underlayment rather than the tile, we’ll tell you, because swapping tiles won’t fix a problem underneath them.
Is my home strong enough for tile?
Most homes built for tile already are. Tile is heavy, though, so the structure has to carry it. If you’re switching from shingle to tile, we check the framing during the inspection. If it needs reinforcement, you’ll know before anything gets installed.
Why is my tile roof leaking if the tiles look fine?
Because the tile isn’t what keeps the water out. The underlayment beneath it is, and Florida heat wears it out years before the tile does. If your tiles look fine but you have a leak, the underlayment is the first thing we check.
