Roof systems
Choosing a roof system in Tampa
Every roof system has trade-offs. Use this to go into the call knowing what to ask. Wind ratings, warranties and product approvals vary by product, so get them from the contractor in writing.
Architectural shingles
Layered asphalt shingles with a dimensional look and a wide choice of colors. A common choice for sloped homes.
Suits
- Sloped roofs on most home styles
- Owners who want plenty of color options
- Roofs where later repairs should be simple
Watch for
- A shorter service life than tile or metal in most cases
- Wind resistance depends on the product and how it's fastened
- Dark algae streaks can form in shaded, humid spots
Ask the contractor
- What wind rating is the shingle tested to, and will the nailing pattern match it?
- Is the shingle algae-resistant?
- What is its Florida Product Approval number?
Concrete and clay tile
Heavy, long-lived tiles that suit Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. The underlayment beneath the tile does the waterproofing.
Suits
- Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes
- Owners who want a long-lived roof covering
- Homes whose framing is built to carry the weight
Watch for
- Much heavier than shingles or metal
- Tiles crack if the roof is walked carelessly
- The underlayment ages under the tile and eventually needs renewing
Ask the contractor
- Is the roof framing confirmed for tile weight?
- Which underlayment goes under the tile?
- How will the tiles be attached?
Metal roofing
Metal panel systems for sloped roofs, including standing seam panels joined by raised seams with the fasteners hidden.
Suits
- Modern and coastal home designs
- Owners planning to stay for many years
- Roofs where fewer exposed fasteners matter
Watch for
- Usually a higher upfront cost than shingles
- Near salt water, the metal, coating and fasteners must suit the exposure
- Rain noise depends on the deck and underlayment beneath the panels
Ask the contractor
- Which metal and coating are specified for your location?
- Is the panel system covered by a Florida Product Approval?
- How are the seams, edges and ridge secured?
Low-slope membranes
Single-ply membranes such as TPO, modified bitumen and coatings for flat and low-slope roofs on commercial buildings, porches and additions.
Suits
- Commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs
- Porches and additions with little pitch
- Roofs with rooftop equipment and curbs
Watch for
- Drainage is critical: standing water shortens a flat roof's life
- Seams and flashing at curbs and parapets need regular checks
- Wet insulation usually rules out a coating over the old roof
Ask the contractor
- How will water drain off the roof?
- Are the seams heat-welded or adhered?
- What maintenance does the warranty require?
Quality you won't see
Where a roof's quality actually lives
Two new roofs can look the same from the street. The difference is in the layers underneath, and they're worth asking about before any work starts.
- 01
The deck
The plywood or board sheathing everything else is fastened to. Soft or rotted sections should be replaced, and how the deck is attached is one of the items a wind mitigation inspection records.
- 02
Secondary water resistance
A sealed layer over the deck that limits water entry if shingles or tiles are lost in a storm. It's also recorded on Florida's wind mitigation form.
- 03
Underlayment
The water-shedding layer under the roof covering. On a tile roof it does most of the waterproofing.
- 04
Flashing
The metal that seals valleys, walls, chimneys, skylights and vents, where many leaks begin.
- 05
Ventilation
Intake and exhaust vents that move hot, humid air out of the attic.
- 06
The roof covering
Shingle, tile, metal or membrane, installed to the manufacturer's instructions and fastening pattern.
- What a full roof replacement involves
Before you sign
Four checks that protect a large investment
Every contractor you speak with through this line is independent, so the final check is yours. Each of these takes a few minutes.
Check 1
Check the contractor's license and insurance
Florida roofing contractors are licensed through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Look up the name or license number, and ask for proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Search DBPR licenses(opens in a new tab)Check 2
Ask who pulls the permit
Most roof replacements need a building permit from the City of Tampa or Hillsborough County, depending on the address. Ask who pulls it and when the inspections are scheduled.
Check 3
Get the product approval numbers
Roofing products used in Florida need state or local product approval. Ask for the approval numbers of the roof covering and underlayment, and look them up.
Florida product approval search(opens in a new tab)Check 4
Keep the wind mitigation paperwork
A wind mitigation inspection on Florida's form OIR-B1-1802 records features such as roof-deck attachment and secondary water resistance. Ask your insurer whether an updated inspection after a new roof affects your premium.

- How many layers of old roofing come off
- How much of the deck needs replacing

FAQ
Questions about roofing in Tampa
Straight answers before you pick up the phone.
Is Roofer in Tampa a roofing company?
No. Roofer in Tampa is a free referral service. When you call, you're connected with an independent local roofing contractor, who inspects the roof, prices the work and does the job. Roofer in Tampa doesn't perform or guarantee roofing work.
How much does a new roof cost in Tampa?
It depends on the roof's size and pitch, the material, how many layers come off, how much deck needs replacing and what the permit requires. A contractor gives you a price after inspecting and measuring the roof in person, so this site doesn't publish prices.
Do I have to replace the whole roof if part of it is damaged?
Not always. Florida changed the rule in 2022. If your roof was built, repaired or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or a later edition, repairing 25% or more of it only requires the repaired section to meet the current code, not the whole roof (section 553.844, Florida Statutes).
Can a new roof lower my insurance premium?
It can, but your insurer decides. Florida insurers use the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form (OIR-B1-1802) to document wind-resistance features such as the roof covering, roof-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections and secondary water resistance. Ask your agent which features count toward a discount.
When can I call?
Phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM, and Saturday, 8 AM to 2 PM, Eastern Time. If water is coming in after hours, move valuables away from the leak, catch the water and stay off the roof, then call when lines open.
Which areas do you cover?
Tampa and nearby Hillsborough County communities within the covered ZIP codes, including Downtown, South, North, West and New Tampa. The service areas section lists every covered ZIP code.
