A replacement built for Florida weather
Florida gives commercial roofs a hard life: intense UV, daily summer downpours, and hurricane-force wind. A quality replacement is more than a new membrane. It is proper insulation, correct drainage, code-compliant edge metal, and flashing built to Florida standards.
Every replacement starts with a free inspection, core samples of your current roof, and a written quote with photos. We help you choose between TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified bitumen based on your building, your budget, and how the roof is used.
We only tear off what we can cover the same day, so your building stays watertight every night of the project. Noisy work is scheduled around your hours, and most businesses stay fully open.
Roof systems we install
There is no single best roof. We recommend based on your building, budget, and how the roof is used.
TPO
- Best for
- Warehouses, offices, and retail with large flat roofs.
- Why it works here
- White reflective surface cuts heat absorption and cooling costs.
- Keep in mind
- Seams must be heat-welded correctly, so installer quality matters.
Manufacturer material warranties typically run 15 to 30 years depending on the system. We explain what each covers before you sign.
EPDM
- Best for
- Roofs with ponding water or regular foot traffic.
- Why it works here
- Handles standing water and traffic well, with a long track record.
- Keep in mind
- Black EPDM absorbs heat unless it is coated or specified in white.
Manufacturer material warranties typically run 15 to 30 years depending on the system. We explain what each covers before you sign.
PVC
- Best for
- Restaurants and buildings with kitchen or chemical exhaust.
- Why it works here
- Reflective like TPO and holds up to grease and chemicals.
- Keep in mind
- Usually costs more than TPO for the same roof area.
Manufacturer material warranties typically run 15 to 30 years depending on the system. We explain what each covers before you sign.
Modified bitumen
- Best for
- Smaller roofs and roofs with many penetrations.
- Why it works here
- Layered protection that stands up to heavy rain and foot traffic.
- Keep in mind
- Dark surfaces run hot unless a reflective cap sheet or coating is used.
Manufacturer material warranties typically run 15 to 30 years depending on the system. We explain what each covers before you sign.
Roof coatings
- Best for
- Sound roofs that need more life, not a full tear-off.
- Why it works here
- Bright coatings reduce heat and extend the life of the existing roof.
- Keep in mind
- Only works over a sound roof, never over wet or saturated insulation.
Manufacturer material warranties typically run 15 to 30 years depending on the system. We explain what each covers before you sign.
Signs it is time to replace
Leaks in several areas
New leaks keep appearing in different parts of the building, even after repairs.
Wet insulation
Core samples or moisture scans show saturated insulation across large areas of the roof.
Shrinking or brittle membrane
The membrane pulls at edges and corners, cracks when walked on, or has lost its surface.
Roof past 15 to 20 years
Most flat roof systems are near the end of their service life by this age in Tampa heat.
Repair costs keep climbing
Repair quotes approach half the cost of replacement, so a new roof costs less over time.
The 25% rule applies
A large repair on an older roof may require the whole system to meet current code anyway.

(813) 555-0192How much does commercial roof replacement cost in Tampa?
Most commercial roof replacements in Tampa run $4 to $12 per square foot depending on the system, insulation, and tear-off requirements. TPO is usually the most economical single-ply option. Written quotes with photos show exactly what the price covers.
Do you check the roof deck during a replacement?
Yes. Once the old roof is off, the deck is exposed and we check it section by section. Damaged or rusted areas are repaired or replaced before insulation goes down, and you see photos of what we found.
TPO vs EPDM: which is better?
For most buildings here, TPO wins on energy savings because its white surface reflects heat. EPDM is better where the roof gets heavy foot traffic or lots of equipment. We look at your building, energy bills, and budget before recommending one.
How long does a commercial roof replacement take?
Most replacements take one to three weeks. A 10,000 square foot TPO roof typically takes about a week. We schedule around your operations and keep the building watertight every night.
What warranties come with a new commercial roof?
Every replacement includes our workmanship warranty in writing. Manufacturer warranties cover the system for 15 to 30 years depending on the product, and NDL (no dollar limit) options are available. We register the warranty for you.
Can you replace my roof without closing my business?
Yes, in almost every case. We schedule noisy work for off-hours, keep entrances clear, and coordinate with you daily.
