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 February, a Clearwater homeowner had their roof replaced by our crew. We tore off the old shingles, checked the decking for issues, then rolled out new underlayment before installing the new roofing system. Work areas were kept clean throughout, and we finished by reviewing the completed roof with the homeowner.

This February we replaced a roof for a homeowner in Clearwater, working from tear-off to final inspection. The old roofing came off down to the deck, the substrate got checked, and fresh underlayment went down before the new roofing system went on. We kept the site clear of debris throughout and closed out with a walk-through of the finished roof.

We wrapped this roof replacement in Riverview back in February. Our crew pulled the old roofing off, took a close look at the decking underneath, and got new underlayment and flashing down before setting the replacement system section by section. Debris got hauled off the property as we went, and we finished with a walk-through so the homeowner could see the new roof up close before we left.

We wrapped up this residential roof replacement in Lutz during January, working through cold mornings to keep the schedule on track. Once the old shingles and underlayment came off, we checked the decking, then rebuilt the system layer by layer with new felt, flashing, and shingles. Vents and edges got tied in last so the roof sheds water the way it should for years of Tampa Bay weather.
