What Warranties Come With Tile Roofs?

Tile roofing is known for its long life, but not all warranties are created equal. If you're investing in a tile roof for your Florida home, understanding your warranty coverage is key.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically included — and what to ask your roofer about.

1. How long do tile manufacturers warranty their products?

Tile manufacturers usually offer warranties ranging from 30 to 75 years, depending on the type of tile:

• Concrete tile roofs often come with 30 to 50-year warranties

• Clay tile roofs may be covered for up to 75 years

• Warranties cover defects in manufacturing, not damage from installation or weather

2. Does the warranty cover underlayment?

No — underlayment is not covered by the tile manufacturer.

• Underlayment has a separate warranty, often between 10 and 30 years

• It’s a critical part of your roof system in Florida’s wet climate

• A quality roofing contractor should use premium, code-approved materials and register those warranties properly

3. Is installation covered under the tile warranty?

No — manufacturer warranties only cover the tile product, not how it’s installed.

That’s why installation and labor warranties from your roofing contractor are so important.

4. What kind of labor warranty does Roof Nuts offer?

Roof Nuts includes a strong labor warranty with every tile roof system.

• Covers installation workmanship for a defined period

• Ensures peace of mind beyond what manufacturers provide

• We help register your roof system with the manufacturer for full coverage

5. Are warranties transferable if I sell my home?

It depends.

• Many tile manufacturers allow one-time transfers, but they must be registered

• Labor warranties may or may not transfer — always ask your contractor

At Roof Nuts, we help you maximize the resale value of your home by ensuring your roofing warranties are properly documented.

6. What voids a tile roof warranty?

Common reasons warranties are voided include:

• Improper installation

• Use of non-approved materials

• Walking on the tile and causing damage

• Failure to perform regular maintenance

We recommend scheduling regular inspections and using trained professionals for any roof work.

7. Can I get a system warranty for the whole roof?

Yes — but it requires coordination.

To get a full system warranty, the tile, underlayment, and installation all need to be:

• From approved product lines

• Installed by certified professionals

• Registered with the manufacturer

Roof Nuts handles this start to finish for homeowners across Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and other Florida cities.
