When it comes to selecting the ideal roofing material for your Florida home, the stakes are high. Florida’s tropical climate—with its intense sun, heavy rain, high humidity, and hurricane-force winds—demands roofing solutions that are not only durable but also energy-efficient and storm-resistant.

Among the most popular options are metal roofs and asphalt shingle roofs. But which is better suited for Florida’s unique weather conditions?

Florida’s storm season hits hard and often — and if you’re a homeowner in Kissimmee, Orlando, Clermont, or Winter Garden, you’ve likely seen what strong winds and pounding rains can do to your roof. One of the most common and costly types of damage we see is the loss of 3-tab shingles.

Over recent days, Central Florida has been hit by a significant rainstorm that’s drenched our communities—Winter Garden, Horizons West, and Clermont—bringing with it heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and localized flooding. While this isn’t an isolated event (remember storms like Turf Cold Fronts or Tropical systems), this one came fast and furious, catching many off guard.

As Florida's rainy season approaches, now is the critical time for homeowners to prepare their roofs for the heavy downpours, high humidity, and severe storms that come with it.

At Top Rank Roofing, we understand the risks associated with the rainy season and are here to help you safeguard your most valuable asset—your home.

Spanish tiles are typically made from clay, terracotta, or concrete. Their curved shape promotes excellent water runoff, and the materials themselves are fire-resistant and thermally efficient. However, tiles are also brittle—particularly older or handmade clay tiles—which makes them susceptible to cracking from impact, shifting foundations, foot traffic, or thermal expansion.
