On programme
Built to your schedule
Better Roofing & Restoration installs new construction roofing across Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and the surrounding counties, on single-family production, custom homes and light commercial. We work to your programme rather than ours, carry the Florida licence and insurance a GC needs on file, and price by the square with volume terms on multi-lot work.
Why builders use us
What a GC actually needs from a roofer
Most roofing companies are set up for homeowners. Working on a build is a different job with different failure modes, and these are the ones that cost you money.
- Crews that show up on the date in the programme, not the week
- Licence, insurance certificates and W-9 on file before the first lot
- Dry-in inside the window so the trades behind you are not held up
- Pricing by the square, with volume terms on multi-lot work
- One contact who knows every lot rather than a call centre
- Inspections passed first time, because a failed final stops your certificate of occupancy
How we work
Built around your programme
Take-off & quote
Send plans and we return a priced take-off by the square, with alternates where the spec allows.
Scheduled to your programme
We book crews against your dates and confirm again a week out so nothing slips quietly.
Dry-in & install
Underlayment and dry-in first so following trades can start, then the finished system.
Inspection & close-out
We meet the county inspector, handle any corrections, and hand over warranty documentation per lot.

Notes
Single-family production
Architectural asphalt shingle
30-year, 130 mph rated
Fastest to install and the easiest to schedule across many lots.
Custom / luxury home
Concrete or clay tile
Mortar or screw-down
Heavier, so the truss package has to carry it. Specify early.
Coastal exposure
Standing seam metal
24 or 26 gauge
Best wind and salt performance. Longer lead time on material.
Light commercial / flat
TPO or modified bitumen
60 mil TPO typical
Mechanically fastened or fully adhered depending on deck and uplift.
Pricing
How new construction roofing is priced
Builders think in squares, so that is how we quote. These are indicative ranges for planning a budget before a real take-off.
Production shingle
$450 – $650 per square
Architectural asphalt, straightforward roof geometry, multi-lot terms.
Tile
$900 – $1,500 per square
Concrete or clay, including the additional underlayment and fastening.
Metal / commercial
$1,100 – $1,800 per square
Standing seam metal, or TPO and modified systems on low slope.
Volume terms are available on committed multi-lot work, and we can align invoicing with your draw schedule. Send plans for a real take-off, which is free and usually back within three working days.

Questions
Builder questions, answered
Yes. Multi-lot work is where we are most efficient, and it is where volume pricing and committed crew allocation both make sense. We will hold capacity against a programme rather than quoting lot by lot.
That is the part we take most seriously, because a roofer who slips holds up every trade behind them. We confirm dates a week out and tell you early if weather is going to move something, rather than on the morning.
Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, Citrus, Polk, Sarasota, Manatee and Lee. Outside that we will look at it if the volume justifies the travel.
We can pull the roofing permit where you prefer us to, and we meet the inspector at final either way. Most GCs we work with keep permitting in house and leave the inspection to us.
Licence CCC1335958, general liability and workers compensation certificates, W-9, and per-lot warranty documentation at close-out. All of it before the first lot rather than chased afterwards.
Usually three working days from receiving plans, faster on a repeat elevation we have already priced.
