Get what many enthusiasts consider the best
From the high pressure underneath the earth after hundreds of thousands of years to your rooftop, a slate roof is a highly-preferred material across the world for many reasons. It features a look that may be tailored to fit many individual styles, from the modern to the traditional to even an ancient appeal. This is ancient sedimentary rock composed mainly of clay and other volcanic material, and it tends to be a fairly common material worldwide. But it is not something you see everyday in the United States, and especially in Florida. Still, many prefer this material for many reasons.
Here is what much of the world loves so much regarding a slate roof:
- A lifetime … or two: This is a wonderfully old and classic material that is meant to last an extraordinarily long, long time, up to a century and a half. Of course, whenever your home or business is not longer in need of the stone, you can be happy in knowing that this is a renewable material.
- World renowned: You can bring anyone from around the world and they will most likely comment on the high quality of your roof. A slate roof engages so many people because it is a universal material that all cultures appreciate.
- Tough, tough, tough: This is a material that will not be damaged by much. It can withstand pretty much anything you through at it. It is resistant to fire, hail, heavy winds and is a delightful weatherproofing rock. Because it is a very dense and heavy material, we must make sure that the supporting roof structure beneath can withstand the weight.

A tile roof is a beautiful and iconic material for roofing in Florida and for plenty of architecture in warm climates. It is a Mediterranean style that lets out-of-state relatives know they are visiting a relaxed, subtropical zone. It is a classic look that adds distinction to your valued home and acts as an icing on a cake, upgrading all structures that lay below it.

A classic material adding style and substance to your home
A tile roof is one of the oldest, most traditional types of material in the history of all homes. Like brick, it was heavily featured in the ancient world and is also made via great heat in a fire oven. Hailing all the way back to the 3rd millennium BC, during Greece’s Bronze Age, thousands of roof tiles has since been found in Lerna, Greece. It was a dramatic improvement that would last thousands of years, replacing the commonly-used thatched roofs. A tile roof can be traced all the way back to 700 BC at the temples of Apollo and Poseidon. With this valuable leap in technology, this material spread like wildfire throughout the Mediterranean ancient world. Though tiles were a much more labor-intensive material, builders preferred this above and beyond other roofing goods because of its fire resistance.
The benefits of your Florida-appropriate tile roof:
- Aesthetic appeal: The look of this material simply cannot be beat, in particularly for the features typical of an attractive Florida home. Especially if you have a nice in-ground pool with an attractive patio and paver walkways, this material greatly flows with as well as compliments your home’s look. This is a contemporary curb appeal that commands the classic, ancient world Mediterranean reminder.
- Long-lasting: What some may not be aware of is how durable tiles are on rooftops worldwide. These materials may last several decades. As far as maintenance goes, they may need pressure washing every couple of years or so. As will all shingle-based rooftops, what is nice about a tile roof is that you can replace individual shingles on an as-needed basis and not replace an entire section.
- Durability: Tiles can be extremely durable under duress. They are a hard material and can withstand a decent amount of trials such as hail. For the dry seasons in Florida – especially late in the Spring – you will be glad to know that tile is fire-resistant, so if your neighborhood sees fire, any floating embers carrying fire will not spread on your rooftop.
Additionally, your tile roof will act as a wonderful insulator for your home – keeping homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than most other roofing materials. We provide all manner of features that you may want on your roof, including cloaked attic vents, bird stops, apexes, hip starters as well as other options. We provide a wide range of tile colors and shapes to fit your home in just the way that you had envisioned. As far as looks go, this material adds such a wonderful element of texture and an added sense of structure that will be the envy of neighbors and potential home buyers. We look forward to discussing your options.
