Do Tile Roofs Reduce Insurance Costs in Florida?

Tile roofs can reduce insurance costs in Florida by qualifying for wind mitigation credits that lower homeowners insurance premiums. Florida insurance companies are required by law to provide wind mitigation discounts to homeowners whose roofs meet certain construction criteria, and properly installed tile roofs often meet these criteria. After a new tile roof installation, Ranger Roofing recommends scheduling a wind mitigation inspection with a licensed inspector, as many Palm Beach County homeowners save hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year on their homeowners insurance premiums.

How Tile Roofs Reduce Homeowners Insurance Costs

• Wind Mitigation Inspections: After your tile roof is replaced by Ranger Roofing, a wind mitigation inspector verifies that the roof meets Florida's wind resistance standards and documents this for your insurance company.

• Roof Deck Attachment Credits: The way the roof deck is attached to the structure affects wind mitigation credits. New roofing projects typically upgrade roof deck attachments.

• Roof-to-Wall Connection Credits: Florida's newer construction standards include improved roof-to-wall connections that provide additional wind mitigation credits.

• Secondary Water Resistance (SWR): New tile roofing systems installed with self-adhering underlayment qualify for additional wind mitigation credits for water intrusion prevention.
