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. And if you are weighing asphalt against metal, the roof cost per year calculator compares them on cost per year rather than sticker price, which is usually the comparison that changes the answer.
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.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer the full Golden Pledge® warranty as an upgrade on a replacement. On Timberline HDZ shingles that means 25 years of workmanship coverage: we handle anything in the first two years, GAF covers it after that, and if we ever disappear, GAF steps in.
Not sure you need a full replacement yet? A repair may be the right answer, and we will say so if it is.
This Riverview home needed a full roof replacement, and our crew got to work tearing off the old materials down to the deck. After a close look at the sheathing, we installed fresh underlayment and flashing, then set the new roofing system course by course. We swept the property for nails and debris before handing the homeowner a tight, finished roof.

Tear-offs like this one in Hillsborough County start with pulling every layer off the deck so nothing gets buried under new material. Once the decking is exposed, we move through underlayment, flashing, and ventilation before setting the new roofing itself. Ridge lines and drip edge get squared up last. What the homeowner ends up with is a roof built in proper sequence, not patched over old problems.
