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.
June brought a full roof replacement to this Pasco County property. Once the old roofing was stripped away, our crew checked the deck, then moved through underlayment, flashing at valleys and penetrations, and a new shingle system built for local weather. We wrapped the day with cleanup and a walkthrough so the homeowner could see the finished work firsthand.

This June we replaced the roof on a Clearwater home for a retail customer. Once the old material was stripped away, our crew checked the deck, made repairs where needed, and rolled out new underlayment ahead of the new roofing. We kept the site swept clear as we went and closed out with a final look-over so the homeowner could see the results firsthand.

Homeowners in Valrico called us in for a full roof replacement, and we handled it start to finish.

From there we rolled underlayment and set new shingles, tying in flashing, vents, and ridge caps to close things out. What's left is a complete roof system built for Florida weather.

In May we finished a roof replacement for a home in Wesley Chapel. Getting a new roof on means pulling the old material completely off, checking the deck for soft spots, and putting down fresh underlayment before the new shingles go down. Our crew keeps yards and driveways covered with tarps and hauls debris away as we go, leaving a roof ready for the next stretch of Florida weather.

In May our crew handled a full roof replacement for a homeowner in St. Petersburg. Tear-off came first, then we went over the deck and made repairs where needed before laying underlayment, flashing, and the new roofing system. We work the job in that order every time, then sweep for nails and clear debris. The homeowner ended up with a sound roof and a clean property.

This home in Hillsborough County needed a complete roof replacement, so our crew stripped it to bare decking and worked forward from there. We set new underlayment, tied in flashing around penetrations, and built out proper ventilation before running shingles up to the ridge. Each step gets checked before the next begins, leaving a roof system that sheds water the way it's supposed to for the long haul.
