Why More Homeowners Are Choosing Tile and Metal Roofs in Florida This Year

Thinking about upgrading your roof in 2025? You’re not alone. Across Florida, and especially in Pinellas County, more homeowners are choosing tile and metal roofing systems over traditional shingles. And it’s not just a trend. It’s a smart investment in durability, energy efficiency, and long-term value.

Here’s why tile and metal roofs are the top choice for Florida homeowners this year.

1. Superior Durability Against Hurricanes

Both tile and metal roofing systems are built to withstand wind speeds of 130+ mph — a critical advantage during Florida’s hurricane season. Unlike standard asphalt shingles, they’re far less likely to crack, peel, or tear off during high winds.

2. Built for Florida’s Heat

Florida’s heat index can stay above 100°F for days at a time. This extreme heat causes asphalt shingles to warp, curl, and degrade prematurely.

Tile and metal roofs reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption — helping keep your attic and living space cooler.

Bonus Benefit:
Lower heat = lower energy bills, especially in the summer months when your AC is working overtime.

3. Longer Lifespan = More Value

• Metal roofs: 40–70 year lifespan
• Tile roofs (clay or concrete): Often exceed 50 years
• Asphalt shingles: Typically last 15–20 years in Florida

Fewer replacements over time means lower long-term costs and better ROI for your home.

4. Stronger Curb Appeal & Resale Value

Premium roofing materials increase a home’s visual appeal and market value. Tile adds a timeless, upscale look popular in coastal Florida communities. Metal offers a sleek, modern finish with clean lines.

Local Trend:
SB Pro Roofing has recently installed dozens of standing seam metal and barrel tile roofs across St. Petersburg, Largo, and Clearwater — with consistently high customer satisfaction.

5. Better for the Environment

Both metal and tile roofs are recyclable, making them more environmentally friendly than asphalt.

• Metal can be made from recycled materials
• Tile lasts longer, reducing landfill waste from frequent replacements
