Transforming a Worn-Out Tile Roof into a Storm-Ready Masterpiece

A Leaky Ceiling, A Tired Roof, and Too Many Storm Seasons

Here’s the thing—Florida weather doesn’t mess around. And for Bob and Teresa Mitchell in Port St. Lucie, their old roof had just about reached the end of its rope. Faded, cracked concrete tile. Storm after storm, year after year, salt air eating away at everything.
They’d patched it, prayed over it, even tried sealing a few trouble spots—but the leaks just kept creeping back in. One more rainy season and they knew it wasn’t going to hold.

“We Need Something Solid. Something That’ll Last.”

That’s what Bob told us when he called. He’d seen one of our recent jobs on the same street—clean lines, bold finish, no more buckets in the hallway—and thought, maybe it’s time.
We met him the next morning. Our team checked the entire system—tile, flashing, underlayment, venting. Took a look around the screened-in pool, attic space, the whole deal. No guesswork here. We explained what was failing, what needed replacing, and how to get it done right the first time.

The Rhino Roofs Solution?

Stone-Coated Steel Roofing — Charcoal Gray.

Looks like luxury tile, performs like fortified steel. It’s one of the best choices for Florida homes that want curb appeal and real protection. Plus, this roof met every HOA requirement with style to spare.

Why we went with this system:

• Built to withstand coastal salt, wind, and heat
• No cracking like tile
• Lighter load on the home
• Reflects heat, cuts down energy bills
• Holds its color beautifully
• Designed for hurricane-force winds

And we fabricate everything ourselves—right here in Florida—so each panel is made to fit your roof perfectly. That means quicker installs, tighter finishes, and no third-party delays.

The Build: Smooth Process, Solid Finish

What you see in those photos? That’s our crew doing what we do best—safely, efficiently, with attention to every detail. Harnessed, clipped in, every cut and corner planned out before it’s nailed down.

We reworked all the valleys and transitions. Integrated the roof seamlessly with the screened lanai enclosure. Replaced old flashing and installed proper ventilation. Sealed every penetration to keep the water out and the air flowing.

The final look? That charcoal gray finish turned heads. And not just because it’s clean and sharp—it elevated the whole block. Sleek, modern, and built to perform, without the headaches that come with traditional tile.

Peace of Mind, Delivered

Now Bob and Teresa don’t worry when the wind picks up or the forecast says “tropical disturbance.” They’ve got a roof that works as hard as they did for it. No more last-minute patch jobs, no more ceiling stains, no more stress.

And they told us—neighbors have been asking who did their roof. A lot.
