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.
We wrapped up a roof replacement in St. Petersburg to start the new year. The job went the usual route: strip the old material, look over the deck, then build back up with underlayment, flashing, and a new roofing system. Cold mornings didn't slow us down. By the time we packed up the trucks, the homeowner had a sealed roof overhead and a yard clear of debris.

This past October we handled a residential roof replacement in Pinellas County. Once the old shingles and underlayment come off, our crew checks the deck before building the new system back up layer by layer, keeping the yard and driveway clear of debris as we go. The homeowner is left with a solid, code-compliant roof ready for whatever storms come through.

This Hillsborough County residence had its roof fully replaced in October. Our crew tore off the old system, inspected the deck, and rebuilt with new underlayment, flashing, and shingles from eave to ridge. We work in sections, keeping ventilation and drip edge lined up as we go, so the finished roof performs as one solid system rather than a patchwork of parts.

This Polk County home got a complete roof replacement in October, with our crew stripping off the old roofing, inspecting the deck for soundness, and building back a new system from there. We worked the job start to finish in one visit, hauling off the old material as we went. The homeowner is left with a fresh roof and no leftover patchwork underneath.

This September job had our crew tearing off an aging roof for a Tampa Bay homeowner and starting fresh from the deck up. We check the substrate before laying new underlayment, then install shingles to spec across the whole roof. Throughout the job we keep the yard protected and the site swept clean. By the end the homeowner had a new roof ready to handle whatever the Tampa Bay weather brings.

This Riverview roof replacement wrapped up in August. Rather than starting with the tear-off, our crew mapped out the job first, then stripped the old material and inspected the decking before laying underlayment and flashing. The new roofing system went on section by section, and once it was finished we hauled off all debris and walked the property to confirm a tight, weather-ready roof.

We wrapped up this St. Petersburg roof replacement in August. The job called for tearing off the old roofing, checking the deck for soft spots, and rebuilding with new underlayment, flashing, and a fresh roofing system on top.

A full roof replacement covers tear-off down to the deck, a check of the sheathing, and fresh underlayment before the new roofing goes on. Our crew keeps the yard and driveway tarped throughout and clears debris as we go so the site stays workable. We finished this Wesley Chapel replacement in July, walking the roof with the homeowner before wrapping up the job.
