"They caught rotten decking our previous roofer missed entirely. New tile system went on in four days and looked absolutely perfect — ridge line is ruler-straight."
Tile Roofing
Built to
Last Forever.
Florida's climate is brutal — the sun, the salt air, hurricane season. Clay and concrete tile is the gold standard that handles all of it. We've been installing it across Miami and Tampa for 18 years.

Concrete and clay tile has protected Florida homes since the Spanish colonial era — there's a reason it never went away.
It sheds water without absorbing it, reflects radiant heat, and laughs at 150 mph wind uplift when properly set. Unlike asphalt, tile doesn't soften under a summer sun or crack after a cold snap. In a state where insurance companies ask hard questions, a certified tile roof is your strongest answer.
At Reliable Roofing, we don't upsell. We spec the exact tile weight, profile, and fastener pattern your home and your lot require — then we stand behind the result.
Three Tile Systems.
One Right Answer for Your Home.
Clay Barrel Tile
The classic Florida profile. Handsome, heavy, and nearly indestructible. Clay tiles are fired at 2,000°F — heat and UV cannot age them.
Concrete Flat Tile
Low-profile look, maximum curb appeal. Slightly lighter than clay — easier on trusses. Available in hundreds of colors and finishes.
Most Popular in Miami
Miter / S-Tile
The "S" profile combines old-world character with modern wind-resistance ratings. A top choice for Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes across Tampa Bay.
All Tile Systems
Cascades Community Tile
HOA-compliant installs across South Florida's planned communities.
How We Install a Tile Roof
That's Still Standing at Year 50.
No shortcuts. No skipped steps. Every install follows a documented sequence — from deck inspection to final torque-down.
Free Roof Inspection & Report
We walk every square foot. Inspect decking, existing underlayment, fascia, and gutters. You get a written condition report — not a vague verbal estimate.
Full Tear-Off & Deck Assessment
Tile is heavy. Before a single new tile goes on, we verify your decking is solid. Any soft spots, rotted plywood, or sagging rafters get addressed first.
Peel-&-Stick Underlayment System
Florida code now requires self-adhering underlayment in hurricane-prone counties. We use premium SA membranes at valleys, edges, and full-field — not the minimum required, but what actually works.
Tile Battens & Fastener Layout
Properly spaced and secured battens create the airspace that keeps attic temps down and tiles anchored. We follow FBC-approved fastener patterns — not just manufacturer minimums.
Tile Set & Hip/Ridge Caps
Field tiles first, hip and ridge mortar set last. Every cut is clean. Every cap is aligned. We take pride in ridge lines that are laser-straight from the street.
Final Inspection & Permit Close
We pull the permits and we close them. You receive copies of the passed inspection — proof your new roof is code-compliant and insurable.

Why Tile Dominates
South Florida.
-
Hurricane Wind Uplift
Properly fastened tile meets and exceeds Florida Building Code wind uplift requirements for Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
-
Thermal Efficiency
Tile's natural air gap under the field tiles acts as insulation — attic temps run 20–30°F cooler vs direct-nail systems. Real savings on every power bill.
-
Insurance & Resale Value
Many Florida carriers offer significant premium discounts for tile roofs. Buyers know it — tile is a selling point that adds documented value at appraisal.
-
Salt Air & Humidity Resistance
Coastal Florida is hostile to wood, metal, and asphalt. Tile is immune to salt spray and humidity — the further south you live, the bigger the advantage.
18 Years of Roofs.
Real People Behind Every One.
"Pulled permits, passed inspection first try, sent me the paperwork the same afternoon. I've owned four homes in Florida. This is the first roofer that handled everything like professionals."
"Hurricane Ian took out most of our old barrel tile. Reliable Roofing had the new system on before the next storm season started. Crew was respectful, yard was spotless."
Great Tile Starts
Below the Tile.
The tile is what your neighbors see. The underlayment is what keeps your home dry when a tile cracks, a hip mortar loosens, or a Category 3 blows through at 2 a.m.
We install self-adhering peel-and-stick membranes at all critical zones — valleys, eaves, rakes, and penetrations — then overlay the field with high-temperature SA underlayment. It bonds to the deck and to itself. No nail holes to fail. No gaps to leak.
It costs more. It's worth every dollar.
