Common Tile Roofing Problems in Gateway

Is Your Tile Roof Showing Signs of Damage?

Over time, even the most durable tile roofing systems can develop problems that compromise your home's protection. In Gateway, where properties often feature 15-year-old or older roofing systems, common issues include cracked or broken tiles caused by impacts, improper installation, or simply age-related deterioration. When tiles crack, water can infiltrate the underlayment and eventually penetrate into your home's interior, leading to costly water damage, mold growth, and structural concerns. Loose or slipped tiles are another frequent problem, particularly in valley areas where water flow is concentrated during heavy rainfall.

Florida's climate presents additional challenges for tile roofing systems. Intense sun exposure can fade tile colors over time, while thermal expansion and contraction can stress mounting systems and cause tiles to shift. Storm damage from high winds can dislodge tiles entirely, leaving vulnerable gaps in your roofing coverage. Moss and algae growth, while primarily cosmetic in early stages, can retain moisture against tiles and accelerate deterioration if left untreated.

Perhaps most concerning for property owners is that tile roof damage isn't always immediately visible from ground level. Small cracks can expand, minor leaks can worsen, and what starts as a manageable repair can escalate into a full tile roof replacement if not addressed promptly. That's why regular tile roof inspections are crucial for maintaining your roofing system's integrity and catching problems before they become serious.

Read what your neighbors have to say about their experiences with our trusted tile roofing team.

      Our experience with Gateway Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Gateway Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Gateway Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Gateway Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Gateway Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Gateway Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Gateway Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Gateway Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Gateway Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Gateway Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Gateway Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Gateway Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Gateway Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Gateway Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Gateway Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Gateway Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Gateway Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Gateway Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Gateway Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Gateway Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Gateway Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Gateway Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Gateway Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Gateway Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Gateway Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Gateway Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Gateway Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Gateway Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Gateway Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Gateway Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Gateway Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Gateway Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Gateway Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Gateway Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Gateway Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Gateway Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Gateway Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Gateway Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Tile Roofing Questions Answered

      Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Roofing in Gateway

      Property owners considering tile roofing often have similar questions about materials, installation processes, maintenance requirements, and performance expectations. Our team at Gateway Roofing believes in educating our customers so they can make informed decisions about their roofing investments. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners and business owners throughout Gateway and Lee County. If you have additional questions not covered here, our experienced team is always available to provide detailed information specific to your situation.

      Both concrete and clay tile roofing systems offer excellent durability and weather resistance, but they differ in several ways. Clay tiles are made from natural materials and typically feature richer, more varied colors that don't fade significantly over time. They tend to be lighter than concrete tiles and have been used for centuries in Mediterranean and Spanish-style architecture. Concrete tiles are manufactured from a cement-based mixture and offer greater design flexibility, including options that mimic the appearance of wood shakes or slate. They're generally more affordable than clay tiles while still providing exceptional longevity and storm resistance. Both materials perform well in Florida's climate, with lifespans that can exceed fifty years when properly installed and maintained. The choice often comes down to architectural style preferences, budget considerations, and specific performance requirements for your property.
      The timeline for tile roof installation varies based on several factors, including the size and complexity of your roof, weather conditions, and whether the project involves a complete tear-off of an existing roof or installation on new construction. For a typical residential property in Gateway, a complete tile roof replacement usually takes between five to ten days from start to finish. This includes removing the old roofing system, inspecting and repairing the roof deck if needed, installing proper underlayment and flashing, and carefully placing and securing each tile. Larger or more complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or architectural features may require additional time. Our team works efficiently while never rushing critical steps that ensure proper installation. We also coordinate work around weather conditions, as certain phases of installation shouldn't be performed during rain. Throughout the project, we maintain clear communication about progress and any factors that might affect the timeline.
      One of the significant advantages of tile roofing systems is that individual tiles can typically be replaced without disturbing the surrounding roofing materials. When a tile cracks or breaks due to impact damage, weathering, or other causes, a skilled roofing contractor can carefully remove the damaged tile and install a replacement. The process involves lifting the tiles above the damaged one, removing any fasteners or adhesive, sliding out the broken tile, and properly securing the new tile in place. This makes tile roof repair relatively straightforward compared to some other roofing materials. However, it's important to address damaged tiles promptly, as even a single broken tile can allow water infiltration that may damage the underlayment or roof deck over time. When multiple tiles are damaged or when the underlying structure shows deterioration, a more comprehensive repair or full roof replacement might be the more practical solution. Our inspection process helps determine the most appropriate approach for your specific situation.
      While tile roofing systems are among the most durable and low-maintenance roofing options available, they do benefit from periodic professional inspection and maintenance. The tiles themselves are extremely resistant to decay, insect damage, and weathering, but other components of the roofing system require attention. Underlayment materials have shorter lifespans than the tiles and may eventually need replacement. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys should be inspected regularly for proper sealing. Valleys and gutters should be kept clear of debris to ensure proper water drainage. In Florida's humid climate, moss and algae can develop on tiles, particularly in shaded areas, and while primarily a cosmetic concern, these growths can retain moisture and should be professionally treated. Regular inspections allow us to identify minor issues before they become major problems, potentially extending your roof's functional life considerably. Most experts recommend professional tile roof inspections at least every couple of years, with additional checks after severe storms or other significant weather events.
      Tile roofing has evolved considerably over the years and now comes in diverse profiles, colors, and styles that complement virtually any architectural design. Traditional S-shaped barrel tiles are classic choices for Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, and Mission-style homes common throughout Florida. Flat or low-profile tiles work beautifully with contemporary and modern architectural designs. Many concrete tile manufacturers produce profiles that convincingly replicate the appearance of wood shakes, slate, or even traditional shingles while providing superior durability and fire resistance. Color options range from traditional terracotta reds and earth tones to contemporary grays, blues, and even multi-color blends. The key is working with experienced professionals who understand how to match tile selection to your home's architectural character. Our team can provide samples and recommendations that enhance your property's curb appeal while delivering the performance benefits that make tile roofing such a popular choice throughout Gateway and Lee County. Some homeowners are also subject to homeowner association guidelines that specify acceptable roofing materials and colors, and we're experienced in navigating these requirements.
      Tile roofing systems, when properly installed using modern attachment methods, offer excellent performance during hurricanes and severe weather events. Both concrete and clay tiles are extremely heavy and dense, which provides natural wind resistance. Modern installation techniques include enhanced attachment systems with multiple fasteners per tile and specialized adhesives that create additional security. Many tile roofing systems meet or exceed Florida Building Code requirements for high-velocity hurricane zones. The tiles themselves are impact-resistant and won't tear or peel away like some lighter roofing materials. However, the quality of installation is absolutely critical to storm performance. Proper underlayment, correctly installed flashing, and secure tile attachment all contribute to how well your roof withstands severe weather. At Gateway Roofing, we specialize in hurricane-resistant tile roofing installations that follow or exceed code requirements, giving you confidence that your roof is engineered to protect your property when storms threaten Southwest Florida.
