Pricing your roof…
One momentGot it — an estimator will call.
They will want to walk the roof: the drainage, the access and the deck are what price a flat system, and none of it shows up from the air.
One contract, one company responsible — JAC is a licensed general contractor as well as a roofer.
Got it — we have your details.
You are outside Tampa Bay and Central Florida, so this is a call rather than a price. Someone will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
If we cannot, we will say so and point you at someone who can. A roofer who drives two hours to a job is a roofer who is not there when it leaks.
Got it — we have your details.
A roofer from the Tampa Bay office will call you to book your free inspection. You get the same written roof report, photographed slope by slope, and a fixed price once someone has actually been on the roof.
We do not show an instant price on the Gulf Coast. The aerial pricing tool only covers Central Florida, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number at all.
- 1Drop in your address. Street and number is plenty.
- 2We call down the satellite. It photographs your roof from orbit while you wait.
- 3An estimator calls you with the price. Shingle, metal or flat — a real number for your roof, not a screen guess.
Nobody turns up unannounced. An estimator calls you at a time you agree to, with the price.
Roofing in Tampa
Tampa is three housing eras stacked on top of each other: 1920s bungalows in Seminole Heights and Hyde Park, a large belt of 1950s–70s block ranches through Carrollwood and Town 'n' Country, and everything built since 2000 in New Tampa and Westchase. The citywide median build year is 1987, which puts a great many roofs in replacement range.
What's on the roofs here. Architectural shingle dominates the ranch and newer-build belts; South Tampa and the island neighbourhoods carry a lot of concrete and clay tile.
Recent storms. Milton was the wind event here — 96 mph gusts at Tampa International on 9 October 2024, 10–15 inches of rain, and a record 38.16 ft crest on the Hillsborough River at Morris Bridge. Helene, two weeks earlier, was a surge event rather than a wind one: 7.20 ft above normal high water at the East Bay gauge, a record.
Neighbourhoods we work in: South Tampa, Seminole Heights, Carrollwood, New Tampa, Town 'n' Country, Westchase.

Tampa — the local questions
Who issues the roof permit in Tampa?
City of Tampa Construction Services Division inside the city limits; Hillsborough County Development Services outside it. We pull the permit in our own licence number — CCC1334352 — and we are there for the final inspection.
What does the building code require on a Tampa reroof?
Hillsborough runs about 130–145 mph. The wind-borne debris line sits just east of downtown — South Tampa, Town 'n' Country, Apollo Beach and Ruskin are inside it; Plant City and the east county are not. Separately, and statewide, Florida requires sealed-roof-deck underlayment on every roof replacement, and homes permitted before the Florida Building Code took effect also need the deck re-nailed with ring-shank nails at six inches on centre once the covering comes off — 'before the code' meaning permitted before 1 March 2002.
How old are roofs in Tampa?
Median build year 1985 — the typical Tampa home is about 41 years old, so a large share of this stock is already on its second or third roof and the underlayment question is a live one.
How fast can you get to Tampa?
Tampa is about 18 miles from our Odessa office, so it's a routine run for the Tampa Bay crews rather than a special trip. Call (813) 920-9644 and you'll get a real date.
What does a roof replacement cost in Tampa?
Roofing is priced per square — 100 sq ft of roof. On a 22–26 square roof, architectural shingle generally runs $11,000–$20,000 and concrete tile $25,000–$55,000 across both our metros. Pitch, storeys, layer count and decking condition move it. Market ranges, not a quote — the free inspection produces your number.
