Classic Florida Curb
Classic Florida Curb Appeal, Built to Last
Tile roofing is everywhere in Tampa Bay for good reason, it holds up to decades of Florida sun and storms while giving a home a look asphalt shingle can’t match. Primmer Roofing installs and repairs clay and concrete tile systems, including individual tile replacement after storm damage, a job that requires care most general roofers rush.
Tile repair is its own skill. A single cracked or slipped tile, left alone, is one of the most common causes of a hidden leak, and matching, resetting, or replacing individual tiles without disturbing the surrounding roof takes more precision than a full tear-off.
The layer nobody talks about
On tile, the underlayment is the roof
Clay and concrete shed water. They do not waterproof the house. The sheet under the tile is what keeps Tampa rain out, and it is a different product than shingle or metal underlayment.
Tile is armor
Barrel and flat tile take UV, foot traffic, and storm impact. The underlayment underneath is the actual waterproofing layer.
Heavier than a shingle job
Florida tile roofs typically get a self-adhered or two-ply underlayment, not a single synthetic sheet. It has to last as long as the tile above it.
Why old tile roofs suddenly leak
The clay can look perfect at 25 years while the underlayment has cooked through. That is usually a re-underlayment, not a new tile order.

Why tile still defines Florida curb appeal
The look HOAs want
Barrel and flat tile is the classic Tampa Bay roof. Done right, it raises the house without looking like a swap-out.
Decades on the deck
Clay and concrete tile bodies last. The roof lives or dies on underlayment, fastening, and how we treat the eaves.
Repair what cracked
A broken tile is a parts job, not a full tear-off. We match profiles so one storm hit does not re-roof the whole house.
Heat and UV
Tile mass and air space under the barrel keep attic temperatures saner than a dark shingle field in August.
Warranties
What is actually covered
Tile body coverage
Clay and concrete manufacturers commonly warranty the tile itself for 50 years. We use systems that publish that coverage.
Underlayment is the roof
Tile sheds water; the underlayment waterproofs. That layer’s warranty is spec’d on every Primmer tile job.
Primmer workmanship
Battens, flashing, and ridge details are covered by our tradesman warranty on the finished system.
Manufacturer warranties have terms, exclusions, and registration rules. We review the exact coverage with you before materials are ordered.

TILE ROOF FAQ
Can a few cracked or missing tiles cause a leak?
Do you repair individual tiles or only full tile roof replacement?
Both. Many tile roof issues are a handful of damaged or slipped tiles, not a full replacement, we’ll tell you which one your roof actually needs.
