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.
By November, this Tampa Bay homeowner had a full roof replacement finished from the ground up. We stripped the old roofing to bare deck, checked the sheathing, then rebuilt with fresh underlayment and shingles installed to spec. Tarps stayed over the landscaping the whole time and the crew swept the site clean each day. The job closed out with a solid new roof and a tidy yard.

For this Hillsborough County home, our crew tore off the old roof down to bare decking and worked our way back up in stages. New underlayment went down first, then flashing at the penetrations, ventilation, and finally the shingles from eave to ridge. We inspect as we go so nothing gets covered up before it should be, leaving the homeowner with a roof system that's tied together properly.

This Clearwater home got a new roof from our crew in October. We pulled the old material off down to the deck, checked the wood underneath, and rolled out fresh underlayment before putting the new roofing system on. Cleanup happened throughout the job, not just at the end, and we went over the finished work with the homeowner before packing up.

This October job in Hillsborough County had us tearing off the old roof down to bare deck and building back up in order: underlayment, flashing at the penetrations, then ventilation before the new shingles went on. We work our way across the plane checking each layer as we go, then finish out the ridge and drip edge so the roof sheds water the way it's supposed to.

This September our crew tackled a complete roof replacement for a Pasco County homeowner. After stripping the old roof to bare decking, we checked the substrate condition, then moved through underlayment, flashing at valleys and penetrations, and a full shingle system built to hold up against Florida sun and storms. We finished by hauling debris off site and walking the homeowner through the new roof.
