Florida Tile Roofing
On a tile roof, the tile is the armor and the underlayment is the actual waterproofing. Most tile roof leaks in Florida are underlayment failures, not tile failures — which is why lift-and-relay work is so common on 20-plus year old tile roofs.

Tile roofing in Palm Beach County
Tile is common on Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes in Palm Beach County. In Boca Raton and Delray Beach, the material plan may need to account for association rules covering tile profile and color, along with coastal exposure when selecting underlayment, fasteners and flashing.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my tile roof leaking if the tile looks fine?
Because the underlayment beneath it has aged out. That is the waterproof layer, and it has a shorter life than the tile.
Can my existing tile be reused?
Often yes, if it is sound. Reusing tile lowers cost and preserves the original look of the home.
