Service overview
What Tile Re-Roofing and Restoration Delray Beach FL Involves
Tile Re-Roofing and Restoration Delray Beach FL means stripping the old tile, replacing the failed underlayment, repairing or replacing broken field tiles, and re-setting everything to Florida Building Code. On a typical Delray Beach home, we remove 4,000 to 6,000 pounds of tile, inspect the deck, install a new self-adhered underlayment, then re-lay the original or new tile with foam adhesive and fasteners. It is not a patch job. It is a full rebuild of the water-shedding system under the tile.
Most Delray Beach tile roofs hit the end of the line at 18 to 25 years because the underlayment fails long before the tile does. Salt air corrosion eats flashing and fasteners, and hurricane seasons leave loose ridge and hip tiles behind. If you have been searching roof tile replacement near me and keep finding thin patch offers, you need a contractor who understands that the tile is the cosmetic layer and the underlayment is what actually keeps water out.
Practical benefits
Why Delray Beach Homeowners Re-Roof With Tile
A tile re-roof is not cheap, but it is the last roof most Delray Beach homeowners will need for two decades. Here is what you actually get when the job is done correctly.
Pass Wind Mitigation
A code-correct tile re-roofing Delray Beach FL job with the right fasteners and foam adhesive can earn you a wind mitigation certification. That paperwork often drops your insurance premium by hundreds per year. We document every fastener pattern and underlayment layer so your inspector signs off without a second visit.
Stop Chasing Leaks
Most tile roof leaks trace back to failed underlayment or flashing, not the tile itself. Once we replace the underlayment and re-flash valleys and penetrations, the leak calls stop. You are not paying a repair tech $400 every rainy season to chase the same stain on your ceiling.
Keep Your Curb Appeal
Clay and concrete tile are what give Delray Beach homes their look. A restoration lets you keep the original tile where possible and match new tile where it is not. We source from Eagle Roofing, Boral Roofing, and Westlake Royal Roofing so the color and profile match the neighborhood.
Handle Salt and Storm
Delray Beach sits close enough to the ocean that salt air corrosion is real. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners and metal flashing rated for coastal exposure. After a named storm, a properly restored tile roof handles the wind uplift that tears loose ridge tiles off weaker installations.
How service works
Our Tile Re-Roofing Process
Every tile roof replacement in Delray Beach follows the same five stages. You know what is happening, who is on your roof, and when the dumpster leaves.
STEP 01
Inspection and Scope
We walk the roof, check the underlayment from the attic side where possible, and photograph every cracked tile, loose ridge, and flashing failure. You get a written scope with the tile count, underlayment type, and permit cost. This takes about 90 minutes on a standard 2,000 square foot roof.
Tools and methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Tile Roofs
Roof tile lifter
Lifts tile without cracking the edges during tear-off and re-set. On clay tile, a standard pry bar will chip the tile, which is why we use a dedicated lifter on every job.
Tile cutter
Cuts tile cleanly at valleys, hips, and penetrations. A wet tile cutter gives a factory edge instead of a chipped break, which matters on visible cuts near the ridge.
Moisture meter
Checks decking and underlayment for hidden moisture before we re-roof. A reading above 20 percent means the deck needs attention before new underlayment goes down.
Drones for roof inspection
Captures high-resolution photos of steep and second-story sections without sending a person up. We use drone footage for insurance documentation and to show you exactly what we see.
Foam adhesive applicator
Applies foam adhesive under field, ridge, and hip tiles for wind uplift. This is a Florida Building Code requirement on most tile roofs and a big part of your wind mitigation rating.
Soft wash pressure washer
Cleans algae and black streaks at low PSI so the tile surface is not damaged. High-pressure washing cracks tile and voids manufacturer warranties, so we keep the pressure down.
Florida Building Code compliance
Every re-roof we run is permitted and inspected to the current Florida Building Code, including wind uplift requirements for Palm Beach County. That means the right fasteners, the right underlayment, and foam adhesive where the code calls for it.
Miami-Dade County NOA products
We spec underlayment, flashing, and fasteners that carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance where required. That NOA number is what your inspector and your insurance company look for on coastal roofs.
Manufacturer-certified installation
We are certified on Boral Roofing and Eagle Roofing systems, which means the tile warranty is backed by the manufacturer. Install it wrong and the warranty is void, so this matters more than most homeowners realize.
Wind mitigation documentation
After the roof is set, we document the fastener pattern, underlayment type, and ridge attachment so your wind mitigation inspector can sign off. That paperwork is often worth hundreds per year on your premium.
Where this service fits
When to Call for Tile Re-Roofing and Restoration
Your tile roof is 18 to 25 years old and you have had two or more leak repairs in the last three years.
We inspect the underlayment from the attic side and on the roof, then quote a restoration that replaces the underlayment and re-sets your tile. If the tile is still sound, you keep it and save 30 to 40 percent over a full replacement. You stop paying for repeat leak repairs and get a roof that is dry for the next two decades.
A hurricane or tropical storm left cracked tiles, missing ridge pieces, and a tarp on your roof.
We document the damage with photos and drone footage, tarp if needed, and work with your adjuster. Then we repair or replace the affected tile, underlayment, and flashing to code. Your claim is supported with real documentation, and your roof is restored to its pre-storm wind rating.
You are selling your Delray Beach home and the buyer's inspector flagged the tile roof.
We run a full tile roof inspection, give you a written report with photos, and quote the repair or restoration needed to clear the inspection. We can prioritize the items the buyer flagged. You get a clear scope, a fair price, and a signed-off permit that keeps the sale on track.
Your insurance company is asking for a wind mitigation certification or threatening to non-renew.
We inspect the fasteners, underlayment, and ridge attachment, then bring the roof up to current wind uplift standards. After the work, we document everything your inspector needs. You get the wind mitigation certification, and in most cases a lower premium.
You have black algae streaks and a few cracked tiles but no active leaks yet.
We clean the roof, replace the cracked tiles, and inspect the underlayment and flashing. If the underlayment is still sound, you get a few more years before restoration is needed. The roof looks better, the small problems are fixed, and you have a clear timeline for the bigger job.

How Tile Re-Roofing and Restoration Runs in Delray Beach
Delray Beach roofs live in a tough environment. Salt air from the beach eats flashing and fasteners, summer heat bakes the underlayment, and hurricane season tests every ridge tile on the roof. Most of the housing stock here was built between the 1970s and early 2000s, which means a large share of tile roofs are now past the 18 to 25 year underlayment window. We pull permits through Palm Beach County and build to the current Florida Building Code, including wind uplift requirements. If you are comparing tile roof replacement cost Delray Beach quotes, ask each contractor what underlayment they are using and whether the permit is included. We use Polyglass and Henry Company underlayment, corrosion-resistant flashing, and foam adhesive on every job. Whether you are in a historic home near Old School Square or a newer build in Seven Bridges, the goal is the same: a roof that handles salt, heat, and the next storm.
Seagate
Coastal exposure is highest here, so we spec corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners on every Seagate re-roof. Salt air corrosion shows up years earlier than it does inland.
Old School Square
Historic homes around Old School Square often have original clay tile profiles that are hard to match. We source from Eagle Roofing and Boral Roofing to keep the look consistent.
Kings Point
Many Kings Point roofs are original 1980s and 1990s concrete tile now past the underlayment window. These are strong candidates for restoration rather than full replacement.
Seven Bridges
Newer Seven Bridges homes have complex rooflines with multiple valleys and hips. Those take longer to flash correctly, but they also earn strong wind mitigation ratings when done right.
Salt air corrosion on coastal roofs
Flashing, valley metal, and fasteners fail years earlier than they do inland. We spec corrosion-resistant metal and fasteners on every coastal job, which adds a small material cost but prevents early leaks.
Hurricane season wind uplift
Palm Beach County requires specific fastener patterns and foam adhesive on tile roofs. We build to that standard on every job, which is what earns your wind mitigation certification and keeps your insurance valid.
Summer heat and underlayment aging
Attic temperatures above 140 degrees accelerate underlayment breakdown. That is why most Delray Beach tile roofs need underlayment replacement at 18 to 25 years even when the tile still looks fine.
Afternoon thunderstorms and heavy rain
Delray Beach gets intense afternoon rain from May through October. A failed valley or flashing shows up fast in that pattern, which is why we test every penetration before we close out a job.
Problems we solve
Tile Roof Problems We Fix in Delray Beach
Most tile roof failures in Delray Beach come down to five issues. We see them every week, and we know how to fix each one without selling you a roof you do not need.
Underlayment failure at year 15 to 20
We strip the tile, replace the underlayment with Polyglass or Henry Company product, and re-set the tile. This is the core of most tile roof restoration Delray Beach projects and it solves the leak at the source instead of chasing it. Water gets past the tile and stains ceilings, rots decking, and grows mold in the attic. By the time you see the stain, the damage has been spreading for months.
Cracked and broken tiles after storms
We replace cracked and broken tiles with matching stock from Eagle Roofing or Boral Roofing and reset them with foam adhesive. If more than 20 percent of the field is damaged, we quote a full tile roof replacement Delray Beach scope instead. Each cracked tile is an open door for water. A handful of broken tiles can turn a dry attic into a wet one after a single afternoon thunderstorm.
Loose ridge and hip tiles
We re-secure ridge and hip tiles with mortar and mechanical fasteners, restoring the wind uplift rating. This is a standard part of every tile re-roofing Delray Beach FL job and it is often covered by insurance after a storm. Loose ridge tiles are the first thing to fail in a hurricane and the first thing an insurance adjuster flags. They also let water into the most vulnerable part of the roof structure.
Flashing leaks at valleys and penetrations
We replace failed flashing with corrosion-resistant metal and seal it to Florida Building Code. Valley metal gets replaced, not patched, because a patch on corroded metal fails within a season. Salt air corrosion eats metal flashing faster than anything else on a coastal roof. A pinhole in valley metal can send water straight into your ceiling during a heavy rain.
A practical standard for every visit.

What Delray Beach Homeowners Say
We had three leaks and two contractors told us to patch and pray. This crew stripped the whole roof, replaced the underlayment, and re-set the original clay tile. They pulled the permit, met the inspector, and cleaned up every nail. Twelve days start to finish. No leaks through two storms since.
Our concrete tile roof was 22 years old and the underlayment was gone. They walked me through the scope, showed me photos of the deck, and quoted a fair price. The crew was on time every day, and the wind mitigation paperwork saved me $1,100 a year on insurance. Worth every dollar.
After the last hurricane we had ridge tiles all over the yard. They re-secured the ridge and hip tiles, replaced 40 cracked pieces, and matched the color from Eagle Roofing. You cannot tell where the repair stops and the original roof starts. They also gave us a maintenance plan for the salt air.
Most full tile re-roofs in Delray Beach run $18,000 to $45,000 in 2026, depending on roof size, tile type, and whether the deck needs repair. A 2,000 square foot concrete tile roof with standard underlayment typically lands near the lower end. Clay tile, steep pitches, and complex valleys push the number up. We give you a written scope with line-item pricing before any work starts.
A standard tile roof replacement in Delray Beach takes 10 to 14 working days from tear-off to final inspection. Tear-off and deck check run one to two days, underlayment and flashing take three to five days, and tile setting plus cleanup fills the rest. Rain delays and permit scheduling can add a few days. We give you a start date and a realistic finish window up front.
Yes, if your tile is still in good shape and the underlayment is the failure point. Restoring means keeping your existing tile and replacing the underlayment, flashing, and broken pieces. That usually costs 30 to 40 percent less than a full replacement and keeps the original look. If more than 20 percent of your tile is cracked or the deck is soft, full replacement makes more sense.
