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.
When it is time to replace
- Your roof is 20+ years old
- Multiple leaks or repairs in the last year
- Visible shingle curling, granule loss, or exposed nail heads
- Storm damage beyond a spot repair
- You are selling the house and want to max value
What a full replacement includes
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.
- Complete tear-off and disposal of the existing roof
- Deck inspection, re-nailing to current code, and replacement of damaged sheathing
- Secondary water barrier and premium synthetic underlayment
- New flashing, pipe boots, drip edge, and valley metal — never reused
- Balanced ridge and soffit ventilation
- Magnet sweep of the entire property, twice
How long it takes
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.
What it costs
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.
Choosing your material
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.
