Tampa Bay & Central Florida
Roof replacement in Tampa.
Licensed in-house crews, permits pulled and closed out by us, and a written scope before anyone touches your roof. If you are also thinking about solar, we do both trades — so the roof gets planned for the array instead of around it.
Does it need replacing?
Florida sun, afternoon storms, and salt air age a roof faster than the brochure suggests. These are the things we look for first.
- Granules collecting in gutters or at downspouts
- Curling, cupping, or missing shingles after a storm
- Daylight or staining visible in the attic
- Soft or spongy decking underfoot
- Repeated repairs in the same area
- Roof is past 20 years and the insurer is asking questions
Materials, plainly.
What each option is actually good at on a Tampa Bay roof.
20–30 years
Architectural shingle
The default for most Tampa neighborhoods. Wide color range, straightforward to repair, and easy to make solar-ready with proper flashing.
40–50 years
Standing seam metal
Strong wind performance and good against salt air near the coast. Solar mounts clamp to the seams, so there are no roof penetrations at all.
40+ years
Concrete or clay tile
Common on Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes and often required by HOAs. Heavier, so the structure has to support it, and it needs experienced hands on the install.
How the job runs.
- 01
Inspection
We get on the roof and into the attic, photograph what we find, and tell you honestly whether you need a replacement or a repair.
- 02
Scope and materials
You see the deck condition, the underlayment spec, the material choice, and the ventilation plan in writing before anything is signed.
- 03
Permit
We pull the Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, or Polk permit and schedule inspections around your install date.
- 04
Tear-off and dry-in
Old material comes off, bad decking is replaced, and the roof is dried in the same day so weather is never a risk.
- 05
Install and clean-up
Final material goes on, flashing and ventilation are detailed, and we magnet-sweep the property before we leave.
- 06
Inspection and close-out
Final county inspection, then you get the warranty paperwork and the permit close-out documentation.
Roof assessment
Tell us about the roof.
A few questions about age, material, and whether solar is on your list — then we schedule the inspection.
Question 1 of 6
Is this a home or a business?
So we send the right crew.
Questions we get.
How long does a roof replacement take in Tampa?
Most single-family shingle replacements are a one to two day tear-off and install once materials are staged. Metal and tile take longer, and permitting and inspection scheduling with the county adds time on either side of the install itself.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Hillsborough County?
Yes. Florida requires a permit for a full roof replacement, and the work has to pass in-progress and final inspections. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and carry the paperwork through to close-out so it does not land on you.
Will insurance cover my roof replacement?
It depends on the cause and the age of the roof. Storm and wind damage is often covered; ordinary wear is generally not. We document the roof condition thoroughly so you have what you need if you decide to file, but the carrier makes the final call.
Shingle, metal, or tile for a Tampa Bay home?
Architectural shingle is the most common and the easiest to match to a neighborhood. Metal handles wind and salt air well and lasts longer. Tile fits certain architecture and HOA requirements but weighs more and needs the structure to support it. We walk you through what your roof deck and budget actually allow.
Should I replace the roof before adding solar?
If the roof has fewer than about ten years left, yes. Removing and reinstalling an array later costs real money and can complicate warranties. We do both trades in-house, so a roof and solar package can be sequenced as one project instead of two contractors pointing at each other.
Do you work outside Tampa?
Yes. We cover Tampa Bay and Central Florida, including Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Lakeland, and Orlando.
