Over time, Florida's intense sun, hurricanes, and heavy rain can cause tiles to crack, shift, or break. A single displaced tile can let water seep into the underlayment, rotting the structure and leading to costly interior damage. Addressing issues early with professional repair saves money and extends your roof's life.
Our technicians start with a comprehensive inspection using thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture pockets. This reveals leaks invisible to the naked eye. We then evaluate the extent of damage—from isolated cracked tiles to widespread wind uplift. The cost of tile roof repair typically ranges from $3.75 to $10.00 per square foot, depending on severity and access complexity. For minor fixes, we replace individual tiles and reseal them with high-grade polyurethane adhesive.
For larger repairs, we remove damaged tiles carefully using rebar and specialized tools to avoid disturbing adjacent ones. We inspect the underlayment for rot or tears, replacing it with synthetic, high-tensile strength underlayment rated for Florida's building codes. Then we install matching tiles, ensuring proper interlocking and alignment. Finally, we apply a weatherproof sealant around flashings, vents, and edges to create a watertight barrier.
Preventative maintenance is key. After repair, we recommend annual inspections and cleaning to remove debris and moss. Applying a protective coating can also extend tile life by reducing UV degradation. In West Palm Beach, where salt air accelerates wear, proactive care is especially important. Our team also educates homeowners on spotting early warning signs like granule loss in gutters or daylight through the roof deck.
