Clay tile is a premium roofing material known for its durability, aesthetic versatility, and exceptional lifespan. Clay roofs can last up to 100 years with regular maintenance, significantly longer than asphalt shingle roofs (20–50 years) or metal roofs (up to 70 years).
Clay tiles are available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and styles. While clay tiles are traditionally associated with a distinctive terracotta red, they are available in many other colors and profiles to complement residential and commercial architecture. The natural earthy tones of clay tiles add a distinctive appearance to any building.

Clay tile roofing is a premium choice for property owners who prioritize longevity, weather resistance, and architectural style. For properties where weight or budget is a primary concern, Leak Busters also installs asphalt shingles and metal roofing.
With extended exposure to weather, the color of clay tiles may naturally soften over time. However, clay tiles retain their color significantly better than most other roofing materials. The color change is gradual and typically adds to the natural, aged appearance of the tile rather than detracting from it
Clay tile roofs provide significant insulation benefits. The air space between the tile and the roof deck allows for increased air circulation, which reduces direct heat transfer by up to 50%. This makes clay tile roofs excellent insulators that can meaningfully lower heating and cooling (HVAC) costs. This is particularly beneficial in Florida’s hot climate.
Clay tiles carry a Class A fire rating, which is the highest fire resistance classification available for roofing materials. Unlike asphalt shingle roofs, clay tiles do not combust and can help protect a building from external fire exposure. Clay tiles are also wind resistant up to 200 mph and carry a Class 4 impact resistance rating (the highest rating available), making them among the most resilient roofing materials for fire, wind, and hail.
Clay tile roofs can last up to 100 years with regular maintenance. This is significantly longer than asphalt shingle roofs (20–50 years depending on type) and metal roofs (up to 70 years). Regular maintenance for clay tile roofs focuses on replacing individual broken or missing tiles and removing moss growth. Florida’s coastal climate can accelerate wear, making routine maintenance important for achieving maximum lifespan.
Clay tiles are heavier than asphalt shingles and many metal roofing options. If a property has not previously had a clay tile roof, additional structural reinforcement may be required to support the weight. Leak Busters performs a structural assessment during the free inspection to determine whether the existing roof structure can support clay tiles, and includes any necessary reinforcement work in the estimate.
Clay tile roofing is a premium material with higher upfront costs than asphalt shingles. The total cost depends on the roof size, tile style selected, whether structural reinforcement is required, and the complexity of the installation. However, the significantly longer lifespan (up to 100 years) means the cost per year of service can be lower than less expensive materials that require replacement sooner. Leak Busters provides free, no-obligation estimates for all clay roofing projects. Contact 772-332-8450 (Fort Pierce) or 239-291-9260 (Port Charlotte).

“This company knows the value of customer service! I will refer everyone I know to them.”
Had a roof leak and I called Leak Busters. I was a bit apprehensive about their name. However, I have to say, I am very impressed and will use them again. They came timely, did the work as promised and even let me pay remotely as we were unable to coordinate a time to meet. I am very satisfied thus far.
Leak Busters did a silicone recoated of our roof. They arrived on time and started working right a way. The work team was very friendly and explained the process. We were very happy with there service and would recommend them for your roofing needs.
