This is the Ocklawaha 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 quoteAerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing. 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
Individual cracked or displaced tiles, yes. Widespread tile loss usually means the underlayment took water and the whole system needs evaluation.
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.
