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.
For this Hillsborough County home, our crew stripped the roof down to bare deck and rebuilt it in stages, working through underlayment, flashing, and ventilation before shingling started. We keep an eye on each section as it comes together, squaring up ridge lines and drip edge on the way. The homeowner ends up with a fresh roofing system built to move water off the house the way it's supposed to.

September brought our crew to St. Petersburg for a full roof replacement. Rather than starting with tear-off, we walked the property first to plan out material staging and protect the landscaping before pulling the old roofing off. From there it was deck checks, new underlayment, flashing, and the new roofing system, followed by a full cleanup. Homeowner ended up with a sound, weathertight roof.

What's left is a solid, weathertight roof ready for the next storm season.

Hillsborough County, FL · September 2021
This Hillsborough County roof replacement started with a full tear-off down to bare decking. From there our crew worked across the roof plane installing underlayment, flashing at the penetrations, and proper ventilation before laying the new shingles eave to ridge. We keep an eye on each step as we go, so drip edge and ridge lines close out square and the roof sheds water the way it's supposed to.
