Florida Code-Compliant Boral Estate Terra-Cotta Tile Roof Installation

Here at Rhino Roofs, we’re all about protecting homes the right way. So when a family down in Jupiter, FL reached out through the My Safe Florida Home Program for a complete tile roof overhaul—yeah, we showed up. No shortcuts. No cutting corners. Just solid, sweat-in-the-sun, hands-on work from a crew that knows Florida storms ain’t no joke.
This wasn’t just another job. This was a mission to build peace of mind. And that’s exactly what we delivered.

The Material: Boral Estate Terra-Cotta Tile—Classic, Durable, Gorgeous

First off, let’s talk style. The homeowners picked Boral Estate Terra-Cotta tile—a smart move if you ask us. This tile doesn’t just look great (hello, old-world charm), it performs like a champ in hurricane country. Made for durability, colorfast, fade-resistant—it’s a tile that says, “Yeah, I’m pretty, but I’m tough too.”
And when you live in Jupiter, where storms can roll in faster than you can say “board the windows,” you need a roof that’s both built to last and built to protect. That’s why this tile was a perfect fit.

The Method: Hybrid Install + Two-Ply Underlayment = Built to Survive Anything

We didn’t just lay down some tile and call it a day. Nah. We went all in.
Two-Ply Underlayment System
Underneath that gorgeous terra-cotta tile, we installed a two-ply underlayment system. It’s like giving your roof a backup shield. If a tile cracks? Water still won’t get in. If debris slams into it? The layer below’s still holding strong. It’s extra protection that most folks skip—but we don’t do “just enough.” We do over and above.
Hybrid Install: Screws + Foam
Then came the hybrid install method. Sounds fancy, right? Here’s what it means:
• Two screws per tile. That tile’s not going anywhere.
• Foam adhesive. Adds even more grip and a cushion for impact.
Basically, every tile is locked down twice. If the wind wants to take one off? Good luck. We doubled down, and then some.

The Details Matter: Valleys, Flashings, Transitions—Reinforced & Ready

This isn’t just about what’s visible. Nope. The real strength? It’s in the hotspot areas. That’s where most roof leaks and failures happen—valleys, flashings, transitions, and that one tricky section on the flat roof. But not on our watch.
We went ahead and gave those zones extra love, sealing and reinforcing every inch. It’s that kind of attention to detail that turns a good roof into a Rhino Roof. Built tough. Built to handle the worst of what Mother Nature throws our way.

Florida Building Code? This Roof Exceeds It.

Florida’s got some of the strictest building codes in the country. And for good reason—hurricanes don’t mess around. But here’s the kicker: this roof didn’t just meet those codes. It went above and beyond.
Thanks to the My Safe Florida Home program—and our obsessive focus on quality—this Jupiter home is now protected by a roofing system that’s compliant with the highest Florida building code standards. That means better insurance discounts, fewer worries, and way more confidence when the next big one shows up on the radar.

Peace of Mind, Family Protected, One Roof at a Time

At the end of the day, this job wasn’t just about tile or screws or underlayments. It was about a family. A home. A future.
And that’s why we take so much pride in what we do. Every roof we install, we picture our own families under it. We don’t build for speed. We don’t build for looks alone. We build to protect. To last. To bring peace of mind.
