Roofing in St. Petersburg
St. Pete has every kind of roof: low-slope roofs on mid-century ranches, tile on Mediterranean revivals, and shingles on everything in between. We repair and replace all of them.
- Roof replacement: architectural shingle, standing-seam metal, concrete and clay tile, and flat roofs.
- Roof repair: leaks, flashing, soft decking, and storm damage.
- Older roofs and insurance: if your insurer is asking about roof age, we can inspect the roof and tell you whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense.
- Wind mitigation: upgrades and paperwork that can lower your premium. How wind mitigation works.

Building new in St. Pete
Many St. Pete lots are getting new homes, whether that's infill on a small city lot or a rebuild in a flood zone like Shore Acres. We handle the plans, permits, and construction with the City of St. Petersburg, and build above the flood elevation when the lot requires it.
In a flood zone? The FEMA 50% rule applies in St. Pete too. Before you start a big remodel on an older home in a flood zone, find out how close the project gets to half of the building's value. Read our 50% rule guide.

St. Pete's business districts keep growing, and older buildings keep getting new tenants.

Questions St. Pete homeowners ask
My insurer says my roof is too old. What now?
Call us for an inspection. Depending on the roof's condition, a documented repair may be enough, or replacement may be the better long-term move. We'll tell you plainly which one we'd pick.
Do you work on historic homes?
Yes. We remodel and re-roof older St. Pete homes, including homes in historic districts that need extra review before work starts.
