A residential tile roof replacement in Hollywood, finished with a warm terracotta tile system. The project rebuilt the underlayment and flashing beneath a durable clay-tile assembly designed for Broward County's heat, humidity and storm exposure.
The Challenge
Where the roof started
Tile is heavier than other roofing systems and depends on a sound structure, precise underlayment and careful attachment. Detailed ridge and valley work was key to both performance and the finished look.
The deck and structure were evaluated for the tile system
A self-adhering underlayment provided dependable secondary waterproofing
Ridges and valleys required precise tile and flashing work

Project FAQ
Questions about this project
Why is tile so popular in South Florida?
Tile handles intense heat and sun beautifully, resists rot and insects, and can last 40–50 years or more.
Is a tile roof heavy. Will my home support it?
Tile is heavier than other systems, so we always confirm the structure and deck can carry the load before installation.
Do terracotta tile roofs hold up to storms?
Installed to Florida code with proper underlayment and attachment, tile roofs perform very well in high winds.
