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.
December brought a full roof replacement for this Hillsborough County home. We stripped the old roof down to bare decking, then rebuilt from there, working through underlayment, flashing, and ventilation before the new shingles went on. Each stage gets checked before we move to the next so the finished roof performs as a complete system, not just a new surface layer.

This Hillsborough County home got a full roof tear-off and replacement in December, and we worked the job from bare deck up. Underlayment, flashing, and ventilation went in step by step before the new shingles were set eave to ridge. Our crew keeps every layer square and tight along the way so the finished roof sheds water properly for the long haul.

This Hillsborough County home came off our schedule with a brand new roof, torn off down to the deck and rebuilt in the proper order. Our crew worked through underlayment, flashing, and ventilation one section at a time before closing it in with new shingles.

We finished up this roof replacement in Hillsborough County this past November. The old roof came off down to the deck, and we worked our way back up with new underlayment, flashing, and ventilation before the shingles went on. Our crew keeps an eye on each layer as the job moves along, so drip edge, ridge lines, and flashing all line up correctly by the time we're done.

Heading into late fall, our crew finished a residential roof replacement in Wesley Chapel. The job involved tearing off the old roof down to the deck, checking the sheathing for soft spots, and laying new underlayment before the new roofing went down. We kept the yard and driveway covered with tarps and swept the site each day. The homeowner walked the finished roof with us before we closed out the job in November.

November brought a full roof replacement to this Riverview property. We pulled the old roofing down to the deck, then took time to check the sheathing before moving forward. Fresh flashing and underlayment went down first, followed by the new roofing system installed section by section. We closed out the job by clearing debris and walking the roof with the homeowner to confirm a tight, finished result.

This Valrico job had us stripping the old roof completely and starting the new system from the deck up. Sheathing got inspected and any bad sections were swapped before we moved to underlayment and shingles. We finished by tying in flashing, vents, and ridge caps so the whole roof works as one system. The result is a solid, complete roof ready for Florida conditions.
