Frequently Asked Questions
Is tile roofing a good choice for Florida homes?
Yes. Tile roofs are one of the most durable options for Florida’s climate. They perform well in heat, resist rot and insects, and can handle high winds when properly installed. Working with a specialist like Knox Roofs matters because tile systems require precise installation to meet Florida building codes and hurricane standards.
How well do tile roofs hold up during hurricanes?
A properly installed tile roof can perform very well in hurricane conditions. The key is secure fastening, correct underlayment, and regular inspections. After major storms, Knox Roofs focuses on identifying displaced or cracked tiles early to prevent water intrusion and hidden damage.
Should I get my tile roof inspected before hurricane season?
Absolutely. Pre-season inspections help catch loose tiles, aging underlayment, or flashing issues before storms hit. Knox Roofs offers thorough inspections designed for Florida’s weather patterns, helping homeowners reduce the risk of storm-related leaks and interior damage.
What should I do if my tile roof is damaged after a storm?
After a storm, avoid temporary fixes yourself and schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible. Even small cracks or shifted tiles can lead to leaks. Knox Roofs specializes in post-storm tile roof assessments and can help document damage for insurance purposes while recommending the right repair or replacement plan.
Can storm damage to a tile roof be repaired, or does it require full replacement?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the underlayment. In many cases, individual tile repairs are possible. However, widespread damage or failing underlayment may require replacement. Knox Roofs takes an education-first approach, explaining all options clearly so homeowners can make informed decisions without pressure.
