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. And if you are weighing asphalt against metal, the roof cost per year calculator compares them on cost per year rather than sticker price, which is usually the comparison that changes the answer.
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.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer the full Golden Pledge® warranty as an upgrade on a replacement. On Timberline HDZ shingles that means 25 years of workmanship coverage: we handle anything in the first two years, GAF covers it after that, and if we ever disappear, GAF steps in.
Not sure you need a full replacement yet? A repair may be the right answer, and we will say so if it is.
A roof replacement means stripping everything down to the deck and starting fresh, and that's how we approached this Clearwater home. Our crew pulled the old roofing, checked the decking for soundness, then installed new underlayment ahead of the new roof system. We kept the site swept clear as we worked and left the homeowner with a tidy, finished roof ready for the years ahead.

Tearing off an old roof down to the decking is the only way to know what you're really working with, and that's how we handled this job in Hillsborough County. Our crew cleared the old material, checked the deck, then built back up with underlayment, flashing, and ventilation before setting the new roofing. Drip edge and ridge lines were squared up to finish, leaving a complete system rather than a patch job.

This Wesley Chapel property needed the whole roofing system replaced, and that's what our crew handled from start to finish. Old material comes off down to the deck so we can look things over, then new underlayment goes down ahead of the new roof. Yard and driveway stay protected with tarps, and we clear debris off the site daily until the last shingle is set.

This St. Petersburg home needed a complete roof replacement, and our crew worked it the way we work every tear-off: strip the old material, look over the deck, and address any soft or compromised spots before anything new goes down.
