Serving Mango
Mango is an unincorporated community of about 12,700 people in Hillsborough County. I-75 marks its western edge, I-4 its northern edge, and Seffner and Brandon sit just east and south. Because Mango isn’t a city, every roofing job here goes through Hillsborough County, not a town hall.
Many Mango homes carry a Seffner or Tampa mailing address, so neighbors often don’t realize they live in Mango. We know where the lines are, and we serve the whole community by name.

Our Services
Everything from a single leak to a full new roof, for owners and landlords alike.
Leaks, missing shingles, cracked pipe boots and worn flashing. We find where the water gets in and fix that spot, whether it’s your home or a rental.
For roofs patched past the point of saving: tear-off, new decking where it’s soft, sealed underlayment and new shingles to today’s code.
Buying, selling, renewing insurance or between tenants? We check the roof and attic and give you a photo report you can share.
After high wind we look for lifted and missing shingles, limb strikes and damaged flashing, and record each one with dated photos.
Water coming through the ceiling or a tree on the roof? We tarp it any time of day to stop the damage, then plan the repair.
Shingles on most Mango homes, flat roofs over porches, carports and additions, and some tile. We repair and replace all three.

Rental Properties
With almost half of Mango’s homes rented, many roofs here belong to someone who doesn’t live under them. That makes slow leaks easy to miss and repairs harder to schedule.
Tenants often wait until a stain spreads before calling. We get to the roof quickly, fix the source and send you photos so you know what was done without driving over.
One roof over two units means one leak can hit two tenants. We check the shared ridge, valleys and flat sections that duplexes and small buildings often have.
Turnover is the easiest time to look at the roof. A quick inspection catches worn boots and flashing before the next tenant moves in.
Rental policies and sales ask about roof age and condition. We give you dated photos and a written report you can keep on file.
Florida Law
It matters more in Mango than almost anywhere around Brandon, because so many roofs here are older.
Quick Answer
Florida’s 25% roof rule says that if 25% or more of a roof section needs repair, the whole section may have to be replaced to current code. Roofs built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or newer, in effect since March 1, 2009, are exempt: only the repaired part must meet code.
| Your roof was installed | A repair of 25% or more of a section | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Before March 1, 2009 | Can require replacing the whole roof section to today’s code | A big repair can turn into a much bigger job, so get the roof checked before storm season |
| On or after March 1, 2009 | Only the repaired part has to meet current code | Repairs stay repairs, even large ones |

Repair or Replace?
Age, past patches and the 25% rule all play a part. Here’s how we decide.
Is your roof 15 to 20 years old? Have it inspected first, so you know which way to go before you spend.
FAQ
Answers for Mango homeowners, landlords and mobile home owners.
Neither. Mango is its own unincorporated community in Hillsborough County, but many homes use a Seffner 33584 or Tampa 33610 mailing address. For roofing work, Hillsborough County rules apply either way.
Only if your roof was installed before March 1, 2009. In that case, repairing 25% or more of a roof section can require replacing that whole section to current code. Newer roofs are exempt, so check your roof’s install date first.
Yes. We repair and replace roofs on single-family rentals and duplexes, and we send owners photos of the problem and the finished work, so you don’t have to be there in person.
In Florida, the landlord is generally responsible for keeping the roof in good repair, unless the lease says otherwise for a single-family home or duplex. Tenants should report leaks quickly, since delays make the damage worse.
Compare at least two itemized quotes line by line. A fair quote lists the roof size, the materials, decking repairs, flashing and vents separately, and doesn’t ask for most of the money upfront. Most Mango homes are modest in size, so be cautious about a quote that seems high for a simple shingle roof.
Yes. Mango is unincorporated, so roofing permits and inspections go through Hillsborough County. We file the paperwork and schedule the county inspections for you.
Often, yes. Resealing seams, replacing loose fasteners and fixing flashing stop many leaks. If the roof keeps leaking or has soft spots, a roof-over may be the better long-term fix.
Check your closing papers or Hillsborough County’s online records for your address, which list past reroofs by date. We can also look it up and confirm the roof’s condition during an inspection.
Get everyone away from sagging ceilings, take dated photos of the damage inside and out, and call us for a tarp to stop more water from getting in. Then contact your insurer.
