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 Lutz roof replacement started with a full tear-off, clearing the deck so we could check it before moving forward. From there our crew laid new underlayment, set flashing around penetrations, and shingled the roof section by section, keeping ventilation and edges consistent throughout. By the time we wrapped up, the homeowner had a complete, new roof system in place.

This August we completed a residential roof replacement in Pinellas County. Work like this means tearing off the old roofing, checking the deck underneath, then rebuilding with new underlayment and shingles installed to spec. Our crew keeps the property clean as we go, working in sections rather than opening up the whole roof at once. The homeowner is left with a solid, watertight roof ready for the Florida climate.

By August we were on a new roof replacement in St. Petersburg. Tear-off came first, followed by a look at the decking to catch any problem areas before the new system went down. Underlayment and flashing followed our usual sequence, and once the shingles were on we swept the yard and hauled off the debris. The homeowner ended up with a fresh, weather-ready roof.

This job came in during the heat of August, and our crew worked through it in stages to keep the homeowner covered at every point. We stripped the old roof, inspected the deck, and rebuilt the system layer by layer with new underlayment, flashing, and ventilation before shingling. Ridge and drip edge were squared up last so the finished roof sheds water properly and holds together as one unit.
