Neptune Beach · Duval County · Retail
This is the Neptune Beach page for tile roofing. The short version: you want a tile roof quote from someone who actually installs tile rather than subs it out, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteRoof-to-wall connections built to old code are a major wind mitigation factor, and hurricane clips added during a replacement can improve the score. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live. The hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage, not a flat amount, so a coastal claim needs to clear a much higher bar than an inland wind claim.
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 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.
Individual cracked or displaced tiles, yes. Widespread tile loss usually means the underlayment took water and the whole system needs evaluation.
