Full tear-off and replacement. The only way to reset your roof clock — and the only way to qualify for the GAF Golden Pledge warranty.
A real replacement is a tear-off, not a layover. We strip the old system down to bare decking, then inspect every sheet of plywood before anything new goes on. Rotten or delaminated decking gets replaced — in Florida humidity that is common enough that we price for it honestly up front rather than surprising you mid-job.
Most single-family Tampa Bay homes are a one to three day job once the crew is on site, weather permitting. Tile and stone-coated metal take longer than asphalt. The longer part is usually permitting and inspection scheduling with the county, which we handle and keep you updated on.
Cost depends on square footage, pitch, how many layers are coming off, decking condition, and material. Rather than a made-up number, we wrote a full breakdown of Tampa Bay pricing: the complete guide to roof replacement costs in Tampa. If the number is the obstacle, we also offer financing.
Architectural asphalt shingle is the default and it is a good roof when installed correctly. But if you plan to stay in the house, look hard at stone-coated metal, which carries far better wind performance and can outlive two asphalt roofs, or concrete and clay tile if that is the look your neighborhood calls for.
We are one of the only Master Elite contractors in Tampa Bay who can offer the full Golden Pledge® warranty. That means 25 years of workmanship coverage — and if we ever disappear, GAF guarantees it.
Not sure you need a full replacement yet? A repair may be the right answer, and we will say so if it is.
This August we put a new roof on a home in Clearwater for a retail customer. Tear-off came first, followed by a check of the decking and a fresh layer of underlayment ahead of the new roofing system. Our crew kept the site clear of debris as the job moved along and closed things out with a walk-through so the homeowner could see the finished work firsthand.

August brought a full roof replacement to this Riverview property, and our crew worked through it with the usual tear-off, deck check, and fresh underlayment and flashing before the new roofing went down. Rather than rushing, we kept to a steady pace across the deck, course by course, watching for square lines and clean transitions at valleys and edges. We finished with a full cleanup and a walk-through so the homeowner could see the result firsthand.

This August our crew replaced a roof in Pasco County, working from tear-off through the final shingle course. Along the way we checked the decking, laid new underlayment, and set flashing at the valleys and penetrations to keep water where it belongs.
