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, a Clearwater homeowner got a full roof replacement from our crew. We tore off the old roofing, checked the decking, and rolled out new underlayment before setting the new system in place. Debris was managed section by section, and once installation wrapped, we walked the property with the homeowner to go over the finished roof.

August had our crew in Pasco County tearing an old roof down to bare decking and rebuilding it in stages. We checked the deck before moving on to underlayment, set flashing at the valleys and penetrations, then closed it out with a shingle system suited to Florida conditions. Debris was hauled off and the homeowner got a walkthrough of the finished roof.

This August we put a new roof on a home in Clearwater from the ground up. Tear-off comes first, then we go over the deck before rolling out underlayment and setting the new roofing system.

This Valrico homeowner needed a complete roof replacement, so we started by stripping everything off down to the deck. From there our crew inspected the sheathing, swapped out any boards that needed it, and rolled fresh underlayment before setting new shingles. We finished by tying in flashing, vents, and ridge caps, leaving a solid roof system ready for Florida weather.

A full roof replacement in Wesley Chapel wrapped up this August. Our crew tears off the old roofing, checks the deck for problem spots, and gets new underlayment down before the new system goes on. We keep the yard and driveway covered while work is underway and haul debris off site as we go each day. The homeowner walked the roof with us before we called the job done.

An older roof in Clearwater reached the point where replacement made more sense than another repair. Our crew tore off the existing roofing, checked the deck for solid nailing, and rolled out new underlayment before installing the new roof system. We kept the yard clear of debris throughout August and closed out the job with a walk-through so the homeowner could see the finished work firsthand.

This Hillsborough County home got a complete roof tear-off and rebuild in August. Our crew stripped the old materials off, inspected the deck, and moved forward with new underlayment, flashing, and ventilation before laying the new roof covering. We work in sections and double-check tie-ins along ridges and edges so the finished roof sheds water properly and holds up under Florida weather.
