Tile Roofing in Rotonda West, FL: a written quote from a licensed Florida roofing contractor, built from aerial measurement, with no sales visit.
Get a written quoteThree-tab shingle from this era is past its life; the replacement will almost certainly be architectural, which earns better treatment at renewal. Most construction here dates from the '80s and '90s, so roofs are on their second cycle and carriers increasingly want to see a replacement date. Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out.
On cost: concrete tile runs two to three times shingle; clay is higher; underlayment replacement on an existing tile roof is its own line item and is often the real reason a tile roof needs work.

How it works
Tile is heavy and wind-resistant, and with the right attachment method it scores well on a wind mitigation inspection. It's also expensive to replace, which is part of why some carriers are cautious about older tile roofs.
Tile is the wear layer, not the waterproofing. The underlayment beneath it typically fails at 20–25 years, and once it does, the roof leaks regardless of how good the tile looks. A re-underlayment (lift, replace, reset) is sometimes an option.
