This is the Bokeelia 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 quoteInsurers scrutinize coastal roofs hardest at renewal, and a dated inspection report with slope-by-slope photos is the cheapest way to survive that review. Metal and tile score best on wind mitigation for a reason, but a properly nailed architectural shingle roof with a sealed deck closes most of the gap at a fraction of the cost. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision.
What it costs in Bokeelia: 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.
