Tile roof in Orlando

Frequently asked questions - Tile roof

• 1.Which material option works best for my home?

  Selection depends on rafter capacity and neighborhood design rules. Concrete alternatives offer solid resistance against hail impacts, while traditional terracotta balances lighter dead weight with natural clay color tones that never fade over decades of direct exposure.

• 2.What stages should I expect during my project?

  We remove previous surfaces down to the bare timber deck, replace decayed plywood sheets, install water barrier layers, secure alignment battens, and hand-lay tiles from the eaves up toward ridge caps before final cleanup across your property.

• 3.Can afternoon storms pause our installation mid-day?

  Heavy lightning or sudden downpours stop work immediately for safety reasons. Crews seal open timber sections under waterproof membranes before rain starts, resuming tile alignment only after the roof deck dries out thoroughly in Orlando.

• 4.Why do estimates differ between two neighboring houses?

  Total expense depends on roof slope steepness, valley counts, structural truss reinforcement needs, and access room around the perimeter, because complex hip intersections require significantly more labor-intensive tile cuts and custom metal flashings than straight gables.
