Caramel Estate: A Rhino Tough Concrete Tile Roof in Port Saint Lucie, FL

Some homeowners just want a roof they can forget about—the kind that holds up against Florida’s wild weather without a second thought. That was exactly the case for our client at Caramel Estate in Port Saint Lucie. They had dealt with leaks before, the kind that turn a peaceful night’s sleep into a frantic search for buckets and towels. Yeah, not fun. They wanted something better. More reliable. A roof they could trust for decades. So, they made the smart call: upgrading to a barrel-style concrete tile roof with the best underlayment money can buy. And Rhino Roofs? We got the job done right.

Out With the Old, In With the Unstoppable

When we first arrived at Caramel Estate, the existing roof was showing its age. The leaks weren’t just a minor nuisance—they were a sign that the underlayment had seen better days, and with Florida’s punishing heat, relentless rain, and the occasional hurricane, it was only a matter of time before things got worse. The homeowners didn’t want to keep patching problems. They wanted a long-term solution.
A concrete tile roof made perfect sense. Durable, stylish, energy-efficient—what’s not to love? Barrel-style tiles give that classic Florida look, but more importantly, they create an incredibly strong barrier against wind, rain, and heat. Paired with a top-tier underlayment, this roof would be as close to maintenance-free as it gets.

The Installation: Built Rhino Tough

We don’t cut corners—never have, never will. Every Rhino Roofs project starts with a rock-solid foundation, and that’s exactly what we did here.

1. Stripping the Old Roof
   First things first, we had to remove the existing roof. This part’s always a bit messy, but it’s crucial. Any weak spots in the decking? We fix ‘em. We want a clean, solid base before moving forward. No exceptions.
2. Premium Underlayment: The Game-Changer
   This is where a lot of roofing companies skimp—but not us. The underlayment is what truly keeps a home dry, especially in Florida’s unpredictable weather. We used a high-quality, self-adhering underlayment designed to be 100% waterproof, sealing every inch of the roof deck. This is the difference between a worry-free roof and a roof that’s a ticking time bomb. Our client? They got the worry-free version.
3. Barrel-Style Concrete Tile Installation
   Once the underlayment was locked in, it was time to lay down the stars of the show: those gorgeous barrel-style concrete tiles. Concrete tile is no lightweight—it’s heavy-duty protection. But that’s what makes it so resistant to wind, heat, and impact.
   We secured each tile using high-wind-rated fasteners, ensuring that no matter what Florida throws at it, this roof isn’t going anywhere. And of course, we made sure every tile lined up perfectly—function and beauty go hand in hand.

Why Concrete Tile? Smart Move, No Regrets

For homeowners who want a roof they don’t have to worry about, concrete tile is hard to beat. Here’s why our Caramel Estate client made the right call:
• Longevity: Concrete tile roofs can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. That’s about twice as long as a standard asphalt shingle roof.
• Hurricane-Ready: These tiles hold up against high winds, heavy rain, and even flying debris—perfect for Florida’s unpredictable storm season.
• Energy Efficiency: Concrete tiles naturally reflect sunlight, keeping homes cooler and reducing energy bills.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Barrel-style tiles bring a timeless elegance that adds value to any home.
