Roofing in St. Pete Beach
St. Pete Beach runs from the Blind Pass area down to the southern tip at Pass-a-Grille. Along the way you'll find canal homes on the bay side, mid-century houses, newer raised homes and some of the oldest beach cottages in Pinellas County. The roofs vary just as much.
- Roof replacement in shingle, metal, tile and TPO. See our roof replacement guide.
- Storm damage repair for leaks, lifted shingles, broken tile and damaged flashing. More on storm damage repair.
- Metal roofs, which suit many Pass-a-Grille cottages and hold up well in salt air. Read about metal roofing for beach homes.
- Low-slope and flat roofs on mid-century homes and additions.
Every job starts with a full inspection, roof and attic. You get a written estimate with the materials, scope and anything we found that needs fixing underneath.
Remodeling and Post-Storm Repair
Hurricanes Helene and Milton pushed water into a lot of St. Pete Beach homes in 2024. Many ground-level houses lost floors, walls, cabinets and electrical. Some are still waiting on repairs.
We take on the whole job: tear-out, drying, electrical, drywall, flooring, kitchens, baths and impact windows and doors. If you're opening up walls anyway, we can help you pick materials that handle water better next time.
The FEMA 50 percent rule plays a big part in what you can do with a flooded home. Read our guide to the 50 percent rule before you lock in a remodel budget.
Pass-a-Grille and Historic Homes
Pass-a-Grille, at the south end of St. Pete Beach, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. The city also has a Historic Preservation Board that can grant local historic designation to individual buildings. After the 2024 storms, the board has been busy reviewing designations and repair requests for older cottages.
If your home has a local historic designation, work on it may need extra review before permits are issued. That can affect roof materials, windows and the look of the outside. We check a home's status early so there are no surprises halfway through a job.
Own an older home in Pass-a-Grille? Ask the city whether it has a local historic designation before you plan a roof or exterior change. We're glad to help you find out.
Elevated New Homes in St. Pete Beach
When a home is too damaged to save, a new raised home is often the best path. Building up puts your living space above the required flood elevation and frees up the ground floor for parking and storage.
We handle teardown, foundation, framing, roofing and finishes with one team. That keeps the schedule tight and the communication simple. More on our elevated home builder page.
What Makes Building in St. Pete Beach Different
St. Pete Beach has its own building department at city hall on Corey Avenue. Permits, inspections and flood reviews go through the city.
- Flood zones. Most of the island sits in a flood zone, so large remodels and new homes get a close look at elevation.
- Wind exposure. Gulf front homes take the full force of storm wind. Roof attachment and edge details matter.
- Salt air. Plain steel rusts fast here. We use coastal-rated fasteners and metals.
- Historic review. Some Pass-a-Grille homes need extra approval before exterior work.
At closeout on a roof job, we give you wind mitigation paperwork that shows how the new roof was built. Here's why that form is worth having.
