Tile Roofing!

The topic of tile roofs has increased by 40% based on Google Trends in Florida with the heaviest concentration being in the Fort Myers area of Florida. No surprise there as we have seen a spike of roofing activity since the passing of Hurricane Ian. What does this mean though? Keep reading to find out.

Hurricane Ian is the most expensive storm in modern times. It caused billions of dollars worth of damage and changed the landscape of insurance and roofing for years to come. It also made homeowners more concerned about what is actually on their roofs.

Although shingles are the go-to choice for roofs, they are not the best material for storm protection. The best for protection are metal roofs and tiles roofs! But wait, if metal roofs are good for storm protection in the Fort Myers area, why are tile roofs trending and not metal roofs?

The answer is simple. The area of Tampa and south of Tampa likes the look of tiles over the look of metal. They offer protection and fit the styles of the area.

Roofing tiles are a popular choice for residential and commercial roofs because they offer a number of benefits:

Durability: Roofing tiles are known for their durability and long lifespan. They are able to withstand extreme weather conditions, such as high winds, hail, and heavy rain, without breaking or cracking. This makes them a low-maintenance roofing option that can last for decades with proper care.
Energy efficiency: Many roofing tiles are designed to reflect sunlight, which can help to keep your home or building cooler in the summer months. This can lead to energy savings on your cooling bills.
Aesthetics: Roofing tiles come in a variety of colors, styles, and shapes, which means you can choose a look that complements the overall design of your home or building.
Environmentally friendly: Many roofing tiles are made from sustainable materials, such as clay or recycled rubber, which makes them a more environmentally friendly roofing option.
Fire resistance: Some roofing tiles are naturally fire resistant, making them a good choice for areas that are prone to wildfires.
Easy installation: Roofing tiles are relatively easy to install, especially when compared to other types of roofing materials. This can help to reduce labor costs and the overall cost of the roofing project.

Overall, roofing tiles are a good choice for your roof because they offer durability, energy efficiency, aesthetics, environmental benefits, fire resistance, and easy installation.
