This is the Marion Oaks 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 quoteHOA architectural rules from this era are strict on color and profile; get the approved product list before collecting quotes. Builder-grade ridge vents and starter strips are the early failure points on these roofs, and often it's a repair rather than a replacement. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain.
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.
