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 April our crew tackled a full roof replacement for a homeowner in the Tampa Bay area. We tore off the old roofing, checked the deck underneath, then rebuilt with new underlayment and shingles installed to spec. Tarps go up over landscaping and vehicles while we work, and we sweep the yard for nails before we leave. The homeowner was left with a new roof and a clean site.

A Hillsborough County homeowner reached out for a full roof replacement this spring, and our crew got to work stripping the old system down to bare deck. From there we laid new underlayment, set flashing around penetrations, and squared up ridge and drip edge before the final shingles went down. What's left is a roof system built section by section to shed water properly for the long haul.

The job included tearing off the existing roof, checking the decking for soft spots, and rolling out new underlayment before the new roofing went down.

Once the old roofing was stripped away, our crew checked the decking, then layered in new underlayment, shingles, and flashing in the usual sequence. Ventilation and edge work got the same attention before cleanup. The homeowner now has a complete roofing system built to hold up under Tampa Bay conditions.
