Tampa Shingle Roof – Architectural Replacement, FL

Architectural Shingle Roof Replacement — Tampa, FL

Roof Replacement • Hillsborough County

Overview

This Tampa shingle roof project replaced an aging 3-tab system that had reached the end of its service life and showed storm-related wear. The homeowner selected dimensional architectural shingles to update the home’s exterior while installing a code-compliant assembly for Hillsborough County wind exposure.

Work Completed

Our crews stripped the roof to bare wood decking and replaced compromised plywood sections before dry-in. Additionally, we installed synthetic underlayment and peel-and-stick waterproofing at valleys and penetrations. Architectural shingles were installed using a code-compliant nailing pattern intended for local wind requirements.

• Structure / System: Deck inspection and targeted structural wood replacement to meet current Florida Building Code standards.
• Materials: Dimensional architectural shingles in a multi-tonal finish, corrosion-resistant drip edges, and synthetic underlayment.
• Installation: Six-nail application per shingle with fastening intended for severe weather zones.
• Code & Permits: Hillsborough County permit with deck, secondary water barrier, and final inspections passed.
• Special Considerations: Continuous ridge ventilation installed to support attic airflow in Tampa’s humid climate.

Outcome

The updated architectural shingle system provides a textured, uniform roof field. Therefore, the installation includes underlayment and flashings intended for Florida rain and seasonal storm exposure.
