How Often Should Tile Roofs Be Inspected?

Tile roofs in Palm Beach County should be inspected at minimum once per year, and additionally after any significant storm event. Given Florida's intense weather conditions — hurricane season, heavy summer rainfalls, and year-round UV exposure — annual inspections are essential for catching issues like broken tiles, deteriorating underlayment, failed flashing, and mortar deterioration before they lead to costly leaks.

Recommended Tile Roof Inspection Schedule

• Annual inspection: Once per year, ideally before the June-November hurricane season begins

• Post-storm inspection: After any tropical storm, hurricane, or severe weather event

• Pre-sale inspection: Before listing your home for sale to identify any issues before buyers discover them

• Insurance renewal inspection: When your insurance carrier requests a 4-point inspection for policy renewal

• Age-milestone inspection: When your tile roof reaches 15 years, 20 years, and 25 years to assess underlayment condition

What a Tile Roof Inspection Covers

• Tile surface condition: Checking for cracked, broken, missing, or slipped tiles

• Ridge and hip tile inspection: These are the most vulnerable points in a tile roof and the most common failure areas during storms

• Mortar condition: Checking the mortar bedding under ridge and hip tiles for cracking or deterioration

• Flashing inspection: All flashings around penetrations and walls are checked for sealing integrity

• Underlayment assessment: Visual and physical assessment of underlayment condition through accessible points

• Interior inspection: Checking attic for signs of moisture, staining, or water intrusion
