Local knowledge
What we know about St. Petersburg roofs.
Here is what we see on roofs around St. Petersburg.
- Salt air from two sides. Surrounded by water on almost every side, St. Pete roofs take salt from both the bay and the Gulf, and that salt corrodes metal flashing and fasteners long before the field of the roof gives out. Near the water we specify corrosion resistant details on purpose.
- Plenty of flat roofs. The older housing stock includes many low-slope roofs that need the right systems and roof coatings to restore and protect them, not a one size fits all shingle job.
- Older homes, mixed roofs. From old bungalows to newer builds and low-slope to steep, we match the system to the house across shingle, tile, metal, and flat.
- Sun and storm season. Between the constant Florida sun and a hurricane season that runs June to November, good workmanship shows, so we build to the Florida Building Code with wind in mind.
- Metal that suits the coast. On homes near the water, metal roofing stands up well to salt air and the long Florida summers when it is detailed with corrosion resistant fasteners and flashing.

Asked around here
St. Petersburg questions.
Most shingle roofs are finished in about one to three days. Tile and metal take longer, because every piece is set by hand. We give you a realistic timeline before we start.
It does. Salt air is hard on metal, so on coastal homes we spec corrosion resistant flashing and fasteners so the small parts last as long as the roof itself.
Often not. Frequently the tile is fine and only the underlayment beneath it has failed. We will tell you honestly when a repair or reroof beats a full replacement.
