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.
June brought another roof replacement job to St. Petersburg for our crew. A project like this usually starts with stripping the old material off, checking the deck underneath, then building back up with underlayment, flashing, and a new roofing system. We worked straight through to cleanup, hauling off debris and sweeping for nails, leaving the homeowner with a finished roof and a clear yard.

This Valrico property got a complete roof replacement from our crew this month. We stripped the old system off, inspected the deck as we uncovered it, and swapped out any boards that needed attention before moving to underlayment and new shingles. Flashing, vents, and ridge caps went on last to close everything up tight. The homeowner now has a full roof system in place.

This Hillsborough County home got a complete roof replacement in May, and we started by clearing the old roofing off entirely rather than layering over it. From there our crew put down fresh underlayment, set flashing around penetrations, and worked in new ventilation before laying the final roofing material. Drip edge and ridge lines were squared up last so the system works together as a whole.
