Three roofs we finished in Tampa and Lake Magdalene, photographed on site.
33607
Standing seam metal
October 2026
This Tampa homeowner wanted to upgrade from asphalt shingles to a standing seam metal roof with improved wind resistance. We installed 24 gauge panels with a black Kynar finish, with trim following the roof’s hips, valleys and changes in direction. Modified bitumen on the low slope section completed the project, matching the material to each part of the home.
33629
Architectural shingle
March 2026
The older architectural shingles on this Tampa home had weathered through previous hurricanes. We replaced them with Owens Corning Duration shingles across the home’s multi level roof, giving a consistent dimensional surface that complements the white exterior and dark trim.
Lake Magdalene 33613
Shingle and low slope
December 2024
Following hurricane storm damage we upgraded this Lake Magdalene home to Owens Corning Duration shingles in Williamsburg Gray. The flat roof was replaced with Owens Corning DeckSeal in Estate Gray with added slope to cut standing water, and a VentSure continuous ridge vent with improved intake finished the ventilation upgrade.
Inspectors will check that roof attachments are strengthened and corrected as required per the Florida Building Code.
Hillsborough County, Re-Roof Inspection Information
Hillsborough County inspects a re-roof in two stages. A Progress Check looks at how the roof is attached, and it can be done virtually by uploading photographs rather than waiting for an inspector on site. A Final follows once the covering is complete.
There is an alternative route through a Roof Mitigation Verification Statement uploaded to HillsGovHub. Either way the application carries a contractor attestation signed under penalty of perjury, which is ours to make, not yours.
01
We pull it, not you. Filed with City of Tampa Construction Services inside the city limits, with Hillsborough County through HillsGovHub outside them.
02
Signed under penalty of perjury as part of the application, covering how the work will be carried out.
03
The first of the two inspections, on roof attachment. It can be satisfied virtually by uploading photographs.
04
Booked by us once the covering is complete, and the permit is closed out against it.
What we see most often on the Tampa roofs we work on.
1
Storm damage from the 2024 hurricane season
Two of the three Tampa roofs above were replaced after hurricane damage, one of them a shingle roof that had already weathered earlier storms before it finally gave up.
2
Low slope sections that hold water
Tampa homes often pair a pitched roof with a flat or low slope section, and that is usually where the trouble starts. On the Lake Magdalene job we rebuilt the flat roof with added slope so water leaves it instead of sitting on it.
3
Ventilation as part of the job, not after it
A re-roof is the moment to fix attic airflow. The Lake Magdalene roof got a continuous ridge vent with improved intake at the same time as the covering.
Full tear-off and replacement in shingle, tile, metal and flat systems.
PACE lets some Florida homeowners pay for a roof replacement through an assessment on the annual property tax bill rather than a monthly loan payment. Availability depends on whether the local government has approved the programme, so we confirm it for your address before offering it.
Availability in Hillsborough County to be verified before this section goes live
Monthly payment plans are also available through our financing partner.

“Truly the best! Jon helped us navigate the claims process after the hurricane and made it easy to understand. His team was super helpful and we got the whole thing covered without additional costs.”
Trey S. · December 2024 · reviewing the Lake Magdalene project
City of Tampa Construction Services issues permits for addresses inside the city limits. Addresses in unincorporated Hillsborough County go through the County on HillsGovHub instead. We pull it either way, so it is not something you have to work out.

No. Lake Magdalene is unincorporated Hillsborough County, so a roof there permits through the County rather than the City even though the address reads Tampa.
Yes. Two of the three projects above included them, one finished in modified bitumen and one rebuilt in Owens Corning DeckSeal with added slope for drainage.
We will look at the roof, tell you what it needs, and put it in writing. No charge and no obligation.
