Roofing companies in Tampa: check the DBPR license
Roofing is a licensed trade in Florida. Look for a certified roofing contractor (a CCC number, good statewide) or a registered one (an RC number, good only where it registered).
There is no roofer list on this page. The board’s search shows today’s status for the roofer in your driveway.
- Ask for the license number in writing, on the quote.
- Open the DBPR license search and look up the number or the business name.
- The status should read current and active, under the same name as the quote.
- Or call us and we send a local roofer whose number you can check the same way.
What a new roof costs in Tampa
That is $382 above the US average of $31,871 (Cost vs Value 2025). A quote far below it is worth a second look.
Metal costs more, at $50,181. Roof size, pitch and tile or shingle move your price. Tampa has no figure of its own in the report, so this is the South Atlantic region number.
| Roof | South Atlantic region | US average |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | $32,253 | $31,871 |
| Metal | $50,181 | $51,865 |
Florida’s 25 percent roof rule
A roofer who says the whole roof must go should show you the share being repaired and the year the roof was built.
| Rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| 25 percent rule | If more than a quarter of a roof is repaired or replaced within 12 months, the Florida Building Code has the whole roof brought up to today’s code. If the roof was built to the 2007 code or later, only the part being fixed must meet it (s. 553.844). |
| Roof age | An insurer may not refuse or drop a policy only because the roof is under 15 years old. An older roof gets an inspection first and 5 or more years of life left keeps the policy (s. 627.7011). |
| Claim deadline | A claim must reach the insurer within 1 year of the storm and a supplemental claim within 18 months (s. 627.70132). |
| Gifts and deductibles | A roofer may not offer cash, a gift or a deductible waiver for a roof inspection or a claim (s. 489.147). |
Wind mitigation and your insurance
A new roof can lower your premium in Florida. Insurers must discount features that resist wind, including roof strength and roof-to-wall strength (s. 627.0629). A wind mitigation inspection is the paper that proves them.
Storms that hit Tampa roofs
Hillsborough County had 2 hail reports in NOAA records from January 2025 on, the biggest 1.5 inches across on June 2, 2025. Wind added 3 reports and flooding 6.
In 2024 NOAA counted 6 tropical storm, hurricane or storm surge events for Hillsborough County, from Milton and Debby. Wind lifts shingle tabs and tiles and the rain that follows finds the gap.
