Boral Saxony Tiles: Florida’s Concrete Roof Game-Changer

Florida weather—hot sun, heavy rain, and the occasional hurricane—puts roofs through the wringer. One homeowner in Port St. Lucie learned this the hard way. Their old concrete tile roof had started leaking, and, to make things worse, their insurance company was pushing for a replacement due to the roof’s age.
That’s where we stepped in. At Rhino Roofs, we don’t just install roofs—we solve problems. We helped the homeowner secure some insurance credits, maximize their savings, and gave their home a Rhino Tough concrete tile system built to withstand Florida’s toughest conditions.

The Problem: Aging Tile, Leaks, and Insurance Headaches

Concrete tile roofs are tough—no doubt about it. But after years of exposure to Florida’s harsh elements, they can start showing signs of wear. This particular roof had:
• Leaks in multiple areas – Water sneaking in through worn-out tiles and compromised underlayment.
• Aging materials – The roof had reached the point where insurance companies deemed it “too old” to insure.
• Insurance demands – The homeowner was told they needed a full replacement to stay covered.
That’s a frustrating spot to be in. But rather than let the insurance company dictate the next move, we took charge.

The Solution: A Rhino Tough Concrete Tile System

We worked with the homeowner, guided them through their options, and made sure they got the most out of their insurance benefits. Once everything was squared away, we got to work—stripping away the old, damaged roof and replacing it with a Boral Saxony Beach Blonde Blend tile system, paired with our high-quality underlayment.

Why Boral Saxony Beach Blonde Blend?

Well, aside from looking absolutely stunning, this tile system:
✔ Mimics natural slate – Gives that high-end, classic look without the weight of real slate.
✔ Designed for Florida’s climate – Stands up to intense sun, high winds, and heavy rain.
✔ Energy-efficient – Helps keep the home cooler, cutting down on energy costs.

The Installation Process: Built to Last

Here’s how we tackled the project:

1. Removed the old tiles – We carefully stripped off the aging, damaged tiles without causing further issues to the structure.
2. Inspected and reinforced the decking – No shortcuts here. A solid foundation makes all the difference.
3. Installed our high-performance underlayment – This is key to preventing leaks and adding an extra layer of defense.
4. Laid down the new Boral Saxony tiles – Precision and craftsmanship in every tile placement.
5. Final quality check – Because we don’t leave a job site until it meets our standards.

The Result: A Roof That Outshines & Outlasts

When we wrapped up the project, the homeowner wasn’t just happy—they were relieved. They now have a beautiful, storm-resistant roof, a renewed insurance policy, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing their home is protected.
Not to mention, their property value went up, and their curb appeal? Through the roof (pun intended).
