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.
We finished a full roof replacement in Wesley Chapel this September, working through the tail end of the summer heat. The job involved stripping off the old roofing, checking the deck for a solid nailing surface, and rolling out new underlayment before the new system went down. Debris gets bagged and hauled off daily, and we walk the roof with the homeowner once everything is buttoned up.

This Polk County home got a full roof replacement in July, and our crew kept the process straightforward: tear off the old roofing, inspect the deck, then install a new system from the ground up. Debris got cleared as we went so the property stayed workable throughout. The result is a roof built fresh, with nothing old left underneath to cause problems later.

This Hillsborough County home came off the schedule with a full tear-off, and we got the deck cleared before laying anything new. Flashing, ventilation, and underlayment went in first, then shingles ran eave to ridge. Our crew keeps an eye on each course as it goes down so the seams line up and the roof sheds water the way it's supposed to for the long haul.

This spring, our crew replaced the roof on a Riverview home, moving through each stage from removal to final inspection. We pulled the old roofing, checked the decking underneath, then set new underlayment and flashing before laying the new roofing system in even courses.
