Roof replacement in Tampa Bay & Orlando

Roofing is priced per square — 100 square feet of roof surface. A single-storey 2,000 sq ft Florida home is usually 22–26 squares once pitch and overhangs are counted; a two-storey one can be as little as 12–16. On 22–26 squares, architectural shingle generally runs $11,000–$20,000 installed ($500–$850 per square), concrete tile $25,000–$55,000, clay tile $35,000–$65,000 and standing-seam metal $20,000–$45,000. Flat systems are priced by area: modified bitumen $5–$9 per square foot, TPO $6–$11. Those are Florida market ranges, not a quote.

Most single-family shingle roofs are a one- to two-day job: tear-off and dry-in on day one, finish on day two. Tile and metal take longer — typically three to six days — because the material is heavier and the detail work around valleys, hips and penetrations is slower.

Insurance covers sudden damage from a covered peril — wind, hail, a tree — not age or wear. If a storm is what started this, document it before anything else. We inspect, photograph and give you a written report. Filing the claim is your call and your conversation with your carrier; Florida law is specific about what a contractor may and may not do around a claim, and we stay on the right side of it.

That depends on the 25% rule and on your roof's permit date. Florida's SB 4-D (2022, now s. 553.844(5) F.S.) says that if the existing roof was built or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later — that code took effect 1 March 2009 — only the repaired portion has to meet current code, so a partial repair is legal however large it is. A roof permitted before that still triggers full replacement of the roof section once you pass 25% in any twelve months. We check the permit record before quoting.

Tear-off and disposal; decking inspection with rotten sheets replaced at roughly $85–$140 a sheet; deck re-nailing where the code requires it; a code-compliant sealed-deck underlayment; new drip edge and metal; valley and penetration flashing; ridge ventilation; the field material; and the permit and final inspection. Permit fees run roughly $250–$450 in Hillsborough, $300–$550 in Pinellas, $180–$320 in Pasco and $300–$800 in Orange County. If a quote doesn't itemise the dry-in and the metal, you're comparing two different jobs.

Yes — through Service Finance, with plans starting around $99.59 a month and a 12-month no-interest option. Longer fixed-rate terms are available, and there's no prepayment penalty.

Always, in our own licence number. A roof replacement in every county we work in requires a permit and a final inspection. A roof done without one is a problem at resale, a problem at claim time, and a roof an insurer can decline to cover.

Homeowner-reported averages on sites like Angi land noticeably lower — around $13,400 for Tampa and $10,500 for Orlando — because those averages mix partial replacements, single-slope work and insurance-scope jobs in with full tear-offs. A complete tear-off-to-deck replacement with code-compliant underlayment sits at the upper end of those ranges, not the middle. We'd rather explain the gap than pretend it isn't there.
