As your local Brandon roofer, we repair, replace and install asphalt shingle roofs built for Florida wind and summer storms. Every job starts with a look at the roof and photos of what we find. You get a written quote before any work begins.
What We Do
Repair, replace or install. We’ll tell you which one your roof actually needs.
Lifted or missing shingles, leaks at pipe boots and flashing, and storm damage. We match your shingles as closely as we can. See our roof repair in Brandon page for more.
Full tear-off down to the deck, deck repairs, new underlayment, flashing and wind-rated shingles. Learn more about roof replacement in Brandon.
Shingles for additions, new builds and homes switching from another roof type, installed to the current Florida Building Code.
Brandon Conditions
These are the local conditions every Brandon shingle roof has to handle, year after year.
About 60% of Tampa Bay’s yearly rain falls June through September. Heavy afternoon storms find every worn pipe boot, valley and flashing joint.
Strong UV and heat age shingles faster here. Most architectural shingle roofs in Florida last about 15 to 25 years, not the 30 on the wrapper.
Humidity feeds the dark streaks on many Brandon roofs. They’re mostly cosmetic. Algae-resistant shingles with copper granules help, and pressure washing does more harm than good.
Hurricane Milton sent gusts to 91 mph at Tampa’s airport in 2024. Wind breaks shingle seal strips, and leaks can show up months later. Our storm damage roofing page explains what to check.
Once a shingle roof passes 15 years, insurers look harder at it. Florida law lets you show it still has at least 5 years of life left before they can refuse it for age alone.

Built to Code
A shingle roof is only as good as what’s underneath it. Here’s what goes into every replacement we do, layer by layer.
01
After tear-off we replace soft or rotted boards and re-nail the deck with 8d ring-shank nails at 6 inches on center, as the Florida Building Code requires on a reroof.
02
Peel-and-stick underlayment over the whole roof, or taped deck seams under a synthetic layer. If shingles blow off, this keeps water out.
03
New drip edge at the eaves and rakes, plus new flashing at walls, valleys and pipe boots. Most leaks start at these spots.
04
Brandon homes are built for design winds of about 140 mph. We use shingles tested to the top wind classes (ASTM D7158 Class H, D3161 Class F), fastened with the high-wind nailing pattern.
05
Ridge caps and vents sized for your attic. Good airflow lets heat out and helps shingles last longer.
06
Hillsborough County inspects the roof at dry-in and again at the end. We schedule both.
Shingle Options
We install shingles from GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed. All three make wind-rated, algae-resistant lines that suit Brandon homes, in colors that work with most HOA rules.
What we install on almost every Brandon roof today.
Mostly found on older roofs. Few homeowners choose them now.
What affects the cost: Your quote depends on roof size, pitch, deck condition and the shingle line you choose. We measure the roof and give you a written, itemized quote before any work starts.
Repair or Replace?
We’d rather fix a roof than sell one. Here’s how we decide.
Was your roof permitted before March 1, 2009? Then Florida’s 25% rule may apply: if more than a quarter of the roof needs work within 12 months, the whole roof has to meet current code. A roof inspection in Brandon tells you where you stand.

FAQ
Straight answers for Brandon homeowners thinking about a shingle roof.
Usually about 15 to 25 years for architectural shingles. Heat, UV and storms shorten the life printed on the package. Good ventilation and quick repairs help it last longer.
Architectural shingles with top wind ratings (ASTM D7158 Class H or D3161 Class F) and algae resistance. GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed all make lines that meet both.
It applies only to roofs permitted before March 1, 2009. If more than 25% of that roof is repaired or replaced within 12 months, the whole roof must be brought up to current code. Newer roofs only need the repaired part to meet code.
Florida law says insurers can’t refuse or drop a roof under 15 years old for age alone. Past 15 years, you can get an inspection, and if it shows at least 5 years of life left, they can’t refuse it for age alone.
Florida code allows up to two layers, but we recommend a full tear-off. It’s the only way to check the deck, re-nail it and install a proper water barrier.
No. You always pay your insurance deductible, and Florida law bans contractors from waiving it. Eligible homeowners may qualify for a state My Safe Florida Home grant when funding is open; check mysafeflhome.com.
Yes. Brandon is in unincorporated Hillsborough County, so reroof permits go through the county, with a dry-in and a final inspection. We pull the permit and schedule both.
All Brandon ZIP codes, including 33508, 33509, 33510 and 33511, plus Valrico, Seffner, Riverview, FishHawk, Lithia, Dover, Mango and Gibsonton.
Things worth checking first:
After a new roof, ask a licensed home inspector about a wind mitigation inspection. It can lower the windstorm part of your premium.
