Tile Roofing Installation in Fort Myers, FL | Tile Roofing Contractor & Installation
Trusted Fort Myers Roofing handles tile roofing installation in Fort Myers, FL, for homes and commercial properties in Fiddlesticks, The Forest and around Colonial Country Club. We install concrete and clay tile in barrel, S-tile and flat profiles that give a home that classic Florida look while standing up to heat, salt air and hurricane season.
The most common problem we see on older tile roofs is the underlayment wearing out while the tiles still look fine, since clay and concrete tile can last 40 to 50 years or more while the underlayment beneath usually needs replacing every 20 to 25. We start fresh with a high-temperature underlayment, then set each tile with approved foam adhesive following the Florida High Wind Concrete and Clay Tile Installation Manual instead of relying on old-school mortar. Every hip and ridge gets a metal ridge rail and secured caps, eave closures keep birds and wind-driven rain out, and all of our tile systems carry Florida Product Approval.
Most tile roofs take us about 5 to 10 days once the old roof is off. A concrete tile roof in Florida typically runs $24,000 to $50,000 for a single-family home, and we’ll give you a free written estimate after measuring your roof and checking the framing.
Every tile roof we install is backed by our 5-year written workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer’s tile and underlayment warranties. We’ll walk you through the coverage before we start, so you know your new roof is protected for the long run.

Tile Roofing Installation Projects We've Completed in Fort Myers, FL
This home had a lot going on up top, with multiple hips, a front gable dormer and a small bay roof below, and the old roof had been leaking at nearly every valley where debris kept piling up. Our crew tore it down to the deck, installed new underlayment and ran open metal valleys that let water and leaves wash straight through instead of getting trapped under the tile. We fit step flashing along both sides of the dormer, set the terracotta tiles with foam adhesive and capped every hip with secured ridge tiles, giving the house a bright, clean roof that finally keeps the rain out.
Final Cost: $41,200
Turnaround Time: 9 days
Sitting right on the water, this two-story home takes the full force of salt air and storm winds, and the old roof had loose, slipped tiles along the upper eaves and rust stains where the original fasteners had corroded. Trusted Fort Myers Roofing replaced everything down to the deck, laid new high-temperature underlayment and installed slate-gray flat concrete tile set with foam adhesive and stainless steel fasteners that hold up in salty air. We clipped every tile in the first row at the eaves, finished the edges with a bronze-toned drip edge, and capped the hips cleanly, giving the home a sleek, low-profile roof built to handle life on the waterfront.
Final Cost: $46,500
Turnaround Time: 8 days
The homeowners wanted a roof that matched the Spanish Colonial style of their home, but the old concrete tiles had faded, cracked along the hips and let water through the worn underlayment above the garage. Trusted Fort Myers Roofing stripped the roof to the deck, laid new high-temperature underlayment and installed a two-piece clay barrel tile in a warm blended finish, setting both the pans and covers with approved foam adhesive. We added bird stops at the eaves, built the hips with stacked cap tiles over a secured ridge rail, and finished the edges with copper half-round gutters that will age into a rich patina alongside the clay.
Final Cost: $38,500
Turnaround Time: 8 days

Tile Roofing Installation Frequently Asked Questions
Should my tiles be set in mortar or foam?
Foam or mechanical fasteners, not mortar. FEMA storm investigations found the mortar-set method is typically much more susceptible to damage than other attachment methods. During Hurricane Charley, mortar-set tiles were easily stripped from buildings in Punta Gorda, while properly foam-adhered tiles held up.
Why do you add clips to the bottom row of tiles?
Because the eave takes a beating in high winds. Where the basic wind speed is 110 mph or higher, FEMA recommends installing a clip on each tile in the first row at the eave for both mechanically attached and foam-adhesive systems. That small step helps stop the edge from peeling up in a storm.
How heavy is a tile roof?
Much heavier than shingles. Standard concrete tiles weigh about 9 1/2 to 12 pounds per square foot, compared with 2 1/2 to 4 pounds for asphalt shingles. Lightweight tiles around 5 1/2 to 7 pounds per square foot are available for homes where weight is a concern.
What’s the most important part of a tile roof?
What’s underneath it. The underlayment is the most important waterproof layer on a tile roof, and tile manufacturers require at least a single layer of #30 felt. Trusted Fort Myers Roofing uses heavier, high-temperature underlayment that holds up better under Florida heat and foot traffic.
How long does a tile roof last?
A very long time. Clay tiles may last more than 100 years, while most concrete tile comes with a 50-year warranty. The underlayment usually needs attention well before the tiles do.
Does my roof need a certain pitch for tile?
Yes. The minimum slope for a tile roof is generally 3/12, and lower-pitched sections usually get a membrane or metal roof instead so water doesn’t back up under the tiles.
