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 January our crew handled a full roof replacement for a homeowner in Brandon. We pulled the old roofing off, went over the deck to make sure it was sound, and put on a new roofing system built for what Florida weather throws at it. Job site stayed clean the whole time, and we went over the finished work with the homeowner before calling it done.
