A tile roof in Orlando, FL typically runs about $37,500 to $93,500 installed depending on concrete or clay tile and roof size. When the tile is still good but the roof leaks, replacing the underlayment beneath the existing tile, a relay, runs about $14,000 to $33,000 and is common in Florida. Tile stands up to sun and hurricane winds and can last fifty years or more. ICAS Storm Restoration installs and repairs tile roofs with our own licensed and insured crews.
Pricing tile roofing work in Orlando, FL starts with three things: the scope you want, the materials you pick, and the shape of what is there today. Here is what local homeowners typically pay, what pushes a price up or down, and how the job runs from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Labor in Orlando runs about 14 percent below the national average, so the ranges below are adjusted to Orlando rather than shown as flat national figures. Your exact price still comes from a free on site estimate.
In Orlando, hail and multifamily roofs are both everyday roofing business. NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 26 hail reports and 24 damaging thunderstorm wind reports within 15 miles of the city from 2020 through 2024, and the Census Bureau's American Community Survey places close to half of Orlando's 146,615 housing units in buildings with five or more units. Only 32 percent are single family detached houses, and about 60 percent of occupied homes are rented. The hail is not a one storm story. On May 21, 2020, seven separate hail reports came in on a single day, including golf ball size stones in Tangelo Park and Buena Ventura Lakes and half dollar size hail near Curry Ford Road and Dean Road. On April 11, 2021, reports placed golf ball size hail in Winter Park and quarter size hail near College Park and just north of the University of Central Florida. On September 11, 2023, quarter size hail fell in downtown Orlando and near Orlando Executive Airport. Hail of an inch or more can bruise asphalt shingles and knock their granules loose, and that damage rarely shows from the street. Wind here is measured, not guessed. The automated weather station at Orlando International Airport recorded a 66 mph gust on June 17, 2023 and a 63 mph gust on August 6, 2020, and the Orlando Executive Airport station measured 62 mph on September 1, 2022, in a storm that flipped two small planes. On June 6, 2020, a tornado that began as a waterspout on Lake Conway tracked 5.1 miles north to Thornton Park, and NOAA estimated its property damage at $956,000. Hurricanes add a separate layer: FEMA opened individual assistance to Orange County residents after Irma in 2017, Ian in 2022 and Milton in 2024. What that means for a roof here: the housing spans every era, with 21 percent of units built before 1970 and 38 percent built since 2000, so two roofs on the same street can be decades apart. For a house, Florida Statute 627.7011 bars an insurer from refusing to issue or renew a homeowner policy solely because the roof is under 15 years old, and for an older roof it must accept an inspection that shows at least five years of useful life. For condominium and apartment buildings, the low slope sections, parapet walls and rooftop equipment curbs usually decide the scope, and the decision tends to sit with a property manager or an association board rather than the resident. Timing follows the summer pattern. Of the 53 hail, wind and tornado reports NOAA logged near Orlando in those five years, 31 fell between June and September and 12 more in May, while the November through April half of the year produced only 9. The count swings from year to year too, from 16 reports in 2020 and 15 in 2023 down to 4 in 2022, so one quiet season says little about the next. In practice that makes spring, before May, the time to have a roof looked at, along with a check after any named storm. For rented homes, which are the majority here, the first sign of trouble is often a ceiling stain a tenant notices weeks before the owner hears about it, so asking tenants to report stains right away saves decking.
Census figures put the median Orlando home at about 35 years old, built around 1991. There are roughly 146,615 housing units here with a median value near $359,000. That makes Orlando largely late century construction, typically engineered sheathing with venting close to current practice. These homes are now reaching the end of their first or second round of exterior work, which is the normal time for it rather than a sign that anything was done wrong. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. By housing count Orlando is one of the larger markets we cover, with enough variation street to street that two homes a mile apart can need genuinely different work, which is why we measure rather than quote from a map. It is the kind of local detail that changes how a tile roofing project should be planned. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
For a single family home in Orlando, FL, these are the typical installed ranges. The price moves with the tile material, the roof size, and whether the existing tile can be relaid or must be replaced. Your free on site inspection produces the exact figure.

We are a local contractor and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
Few roofing materials handle Florida like tile. Concrete and clay ride out decades of strong sun and hurricane season rain, often past the fifty year mark. The part that fails first is the underlayment beneath the tile, worn out by the heat long before the tile itself, which is why a relay rather than a full tear off usually solves a leak. ICAS Storm Restoration covers tile inspection, repair, relay, and full replacement.
ICAS Storm Restoration works across the Orlando area, including:
A relay means carefully removing the existing tile, replacing the worn underlayment beneath it, and reinstalling the same tile. In Florida the underlayment usually fails long before the tile does, so a relay at about $14,000 to $33,000 can fix leaks for far less than a full replacement. ICAS Storm Restoration tells you honestly whether your tile can be relaid or needs replacing.
Both last decades in the Florida sun. Concrete tile costs less and is very durable, which makes it the common choice. Clay tile holds its color longer, suits Mediterranean and Spanish style homes, and costs more. ICAS Storm Restoration walks you through the look, lifespan, and price during your free estimate.
The tile itself can last fifty years or more, but the underlayment beneath it typically lasts about twenty to twenty five years in the Florida heat. That is why many tile roofs need a relay partway through their life rather than a full replacement. ICAS Storm Restoration backs its tile work with a workmanship warranty.
Yes. Cracked or slipped tiles from foot traffic, a storm, or a fallen limb can often be replaced individually for about $750 to $3,300 depending on how many and how well the color matches. ICAS Storm Restoration inspects free and repairs when a repair is the right answer.
Yes. Properly installed concrete and clay tile carries a high wind rating and performs well in a hurricane zone when attached to Florida Building Code. The tiles are heavy and, correctly fastened over a sound underlayment, stand up to named storm winds. ICAS Storm Restoration installs tile to code.
Most homes built for tile are fine, and many Florida homes already carry it. When switching from a lighter roof to tile, a structural check confirms the framing can handle the weight. ICAS Storm Restoration reviews this during the inspection so the roof is safe and to code.
Both last far longer than shingle and stand up to Florida weather. Tile offers a classic look and excellent heat and sun resistance, while metal is lighter and reflects heat well. Costs overlap, with both generally running $37,500 to $93,500 depending on the material. ICAS Storm Restoration helps you weigh look, weight, and budget during a free estimate.
Yes. ICAS Storm Restoration is a state certified, licensed and insured Florida roofing contractor (license CCC1332141) and a GAF Master Elite certified installer. Every tile roof is installed by our own crews and backed by a workmanship warranty.

Not much. Keep gutters and valleys clear of leaves and debris, and have a professional check the flashing and the underlayment periodically, since the tile itself is rarely the source of a leak. ICAS Storm Restoration can fold that check into a broader roof inspection in Orlando, FL.
In most cases yes, since concrete and clay tile profiles are widely available, though an exact color match on an older, weathered roof can be harder. ICAS Storm Restoration reviews your existing tile at the free inspection and tells you honestly what will match.
A properly installed tile roof with a secondary water barrier can qualify for wind mitigation credits with many Florida insurers. ICAS Storm Restoration installs to the standard that supports a wind mitigation inspection.
The median Orlando home was built around 1991 per Census American Community Survey data, so a large share of the housing stock is 35 or more years old. That is the age where tile roofing and the other big updates come due, and it is the work ICAS Storm Restoration does every week.
In Orlando, hail and multifamily roofs are both everyday roofing business. ICAS Storm Restoration plans around those specifics from the first visit.
A concrete tile roof in Orlando typically costs $37,500 to $84,000 and clay tile $42,000 to $93,500 per the cost table on this page, while relaying the existing tile over new underlayment runs $14,000 to $33,000 and a repair to a few tiles runs $750 to $3,300. On many older tile roofs the underlayment wears out before the tiles do, which is why the relay option exists when the tiles themselves are sound. Hail also matters inland: NOAA logged 26 hail reports within 15 miles of Orlando from 2020 through 2024, and stones over an inch can crack tile. Roof size, pitch and battens move the rest of the price. ICAS Storm Restoration inspects both the tile and the underlayment and tells you whether repair, relay or replacement fits.
