New roof installation across Tampa Bay in shingle, tile, and metal for new construction, home additions, and first-time roofs, built to Florida Building Code.
Not every roofing project is a tear-off. When you are building a new home, adding a room or lanai, or putting the first roof on a detached garage, casita, or workshop, that is a new roof installation, and it is its own kind of job. Integrity Roofing of Florida installs shingle, metal, and tile roofs across the Greater Tampa Bay metro, serving Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee, and Polk counties. We are a family-run, licensed Florida roofing contractor (CCC1334243), GAF Certified and TAMKO Pro Gold Certified, with a BBB A+ rating and 5.0 stars on Google. Our approach is honesty first. We tell you what your build actually needs, document everything with photos, and never lean on high-pressure sales. If you are tearing off and replacing a worn-out roof instead, see our roof replacement page. If you are starting from fresh decking, this is the right page.

Roof Installation in Tampa Bay: what homeowners should know
What a new roof installation actually means
When people search for new roof installation in Tampa, they often mean two different things. One is replacing a tired roof that already exists. The other is putting a roof on something that never had one. This page is about the second kind. New construction, a room addition, a screened lanai conversion, a second story, or a detached garage, casita, workshop, or pool house. If your project is a tear-off and rebuild on an occupied home, head over to our roof replacement page instead, because that work adds steps this one does not.
The difference matters for cost and timeline. A true installation starts on fresh, dry decking, so there is no old material to remove and no surprises hiding under the last roofer's work. A replacement, by contrast, always carries the cost of tear-off and the chance we find rotted deck once the old roof comes off. Knowing which project you actually have keeps the quote honest and the schedule realistic.
Either way, the install itself is the same craft. Code-compliant underlayment, proper flashing, the right fasteners for your wind zone, and a finished surface that sheds water and survives Tampa Bay summers. We document the whole thing with photos so you can see exactly what went onto your home.
Choosing a material for the Florida climate
Tampa Bay is hard on roofs. Relentless UV and heat age every surface, summer storms test every seam, hurricane season raises the stakes on wind uplift, and homes near the coast face salt air that corrodes the wrong metals. The right material for your new roof depends on the structure, your budget, and how long you plan to own the property. There is no single best answer, only trade-offs we will walk you through plainly.
Architectural shingle is the Tampa Bay default for a reason. GAF Timberline HDZ and TAMKO Titan XT and Heritage give you a proven, affordable, good-looking roof that handles Florida heat well. Step up to impact-rated Class 4 shingle and you add hail and debris resistance that may qualify for an insurance discount. For longevity, standing seam metal and concrete or clay tile last decades longer and shed heat better, which is why they are so common on higher-end Florida builds.
On the coast, material choice gets more specific. Salt air rules out the cheapest metals, so we steer coastal homes toward systems engineered to hold up. See our metal roofing and tile roofing pages for a deeper look at each.
New roof lifespan and cost in Tampa Bay
Up-front price is only half the story. A cheaper roof you replace twice can cost more over thirty years than a premium roof you install once. The tables below give you honest installed pricing and realistic lifespans so you can compare the real cost of ownership, not just the sticker.
Pricing is per square foot installed, and a typical Tampa Bay single-family home is in the 2,000 to 2,400 square foot range. A few things move the number. Steep pitch or a complex roof with lots of valleys, dormers, and angles adds about $0.25 per square foot. On a replacement, each extra tear-off layer adds about $0.50 per square foot, though a true new installation skips that entirely. Skylights are priced per item at the on-site inspection.
Want a fast ballpark before we meet? Run an instant roof estimate from your address, then we confirm it with measurements and material choice on site. We also lay out financing through GreenSky and Ygrene so you can see monthly numbers, not just a lump sum.
Permits, code, and inspections by county
Every new roof in Florida needs a permit, and the rules differ across the counties we serve. Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee, and Polk each run their own building department with their own submittal and inspection process. We pull the permit, install to the approved plans, and coordinate the inspections so your new roof is fully documented and legally signed off.
The current Florida Building Code generally requires that roofing meet wind-uplift standards tied to the wind zone your property sits in, and that the materials carry the right product approvals. That is not red tape for its own sake. It is the difference between a roof that survives a named storm and one that does not. We build to those standards because it is the law and because it is the right way to roof a home in this state.
For new construction and additions, we coordinate our scope and inspections around your builder's timeline so the roof never becomes the thing holding up the rest of the project.

Rated 5.0 on Google by verified Tampa Bay homeowners.
After receiving quotes for several roofing companies, I decided to go with a company other than Integrity Roofing of Florida. My decision was primarily based on the fact they were referred by a friend and offered a slightly lower cost. After six months, my roof was still not complete, and to make matters worse, my roof was leaking. I called Bettina at Integrity Roofing, and she determined that the company I had contracted with was not fully licensed and could not even pull a permit. I am so thankful to Bettina and the staff at Integrity Roofing. They took over the job, pulled the permit, and had the roof completed in a matter of days.

My roof suffered damage during Hurricane Milton. Multiple roofing companies came out and the quotes were outrageous. Some were even pressuring me to open a claim against my home insurance for the minor damage. I really enjoyed working with Integrity Roofing of Florida due to the exceptional customer care and great level of communication. They gave me a fair price and completed the work in a timely manner. Highly recommend them for your next home project.

As a realtor in the Tampa Bay Area, I have had the opportunity to work with many roofing companies. However, I decided to use Integrity Roofing to replace my own roof as I have personally seen the quality work they have done for my clients. As picky as I tend to be, I was very happy and greatly satisfied with the end result. My roof looks beautiful. I will definitely continue to refer Bettina Savorelli and Mike Sheppard with Integrity Roofing to all of my clients.
Common questions
Roof Installation FAQs
What is the difference between roof installation and roof replacement?
Installation puts a brand new roof on fresh decking, like new construction, an addition, or a detached structure that never had a roof. Replacement removes an existing worn-out roof first, then installs the new one. The work overlaps, but a replacement adds tear-off and deck inspection. If you are replacing, see our roof replacement page.
How much does a new roof installation cost in Tampa Bay?
Installed pricing runs roughly $4.50 to $5.50 per square foot for architectural shingle, $8.50 to $11.00 for exposed-fastener metal, $10.00 to $16.00 for standing seam metal or concrete tile, and $12.00 to $22.00 for clay tile. A typical 2,000 to 2,400 square foot roof runs about $9,000 to $13,000 in shingle and $20,000 to $38,000 in standing seam metal. See the cost table below for the full breakdown.
What roofing materials do you install?
GAF Timberline HDZ and TAMKO Titan XT and Heritage architectural shingle, impact-rated Class 4 shingle, Owens Corning systems, standing seam and exposed-fastener metal (5V crimp and R-panel), concrete tile, clay tile, and flat or low-slope systems including GAF LIBERTY self-adhered, GAF EverGuard TPO, and Mule-Hide low-slope.
What material should I choose for a new roof?
It depends on the structure, your budget, and how long you plan to keep the property. Architectural shingle is the affordable default. Metal and tile cost more up front but last decades longer and shed heat well. We give you the lifespan, wind rating, and real numbers, then you decide. There is no wrong answer, just trade-offs.
How long does a new roof installation take?
Most residential shingle installs run one to three days once we are on site. Metal and tile take longer because of the detail work and the heavier material. New construction is paced to your build schedule and county inspections, so the roof goes on when the structure is ready for it.
Do you work with builders and general contractors?
Yes. We roof new builds, additions, and detached structures for homeowners, builders, and GCs across Tampa Bay. We coordinate around your construction timeline, pull our own permit, and keep the roof scope on schedule so it does not hold up the rest of the project.
Do I need a permit for a new roof installation?
Yes. New roofing in Florida requires a permit, and the requirements vary by county. We pull the permit through your local building department, install to the approved plans, and coordinate the inspections so your new roof is fully documented and signed off.
Is the new roof built to hurricane code?
Yes. Every installation meets current Florida Building Code wind-uplift standards for the wind zone your property sits in, with the manufacturer product approvals required to pass inspection. We build for the storms Tampa Bay actually gets, not the minimum on paper.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
You get the manufacturer material warranty, which runs roughly 20 to 50 years depending on the product, plus a workmanship warranty in writing from us. As a GAF Certified and TAMKO Pro Gold Certified contractor, we install to spec so the full manufacturer coverage applies.
Do you offer financing for a new roof?
Yes. We offer GreenSky credit-based home improvement financing and Ygrene PACE financing, which is repaid through your property tax bill. We lay out the options on our financing page so you can see monthly numbers before you commit.
Does insurance cover a new roof installation?
New construction and additions are typically a build cost, not an insurance claim. If a new roof connects to a covered event, we inspect, photograph, and provide an itemized estimate you submit to your carrier. You stay in control of the claim and your insurer makes the coverage decision under your policy. We are licensed roofers, not public adjusters.
Can the My Safe Florida Home program help?
The My Safe Florida Home program supports wind-mitigation improvements on existing homes, so it usually applies to upgrades and replacements rather than brand new construction. We support the program and can point you to what qualifies. For new builds, the savings come from installing a wind-rated system from the start.
Should I install or replace? What if my existing roof is old?
If you already have a roof and it is worn out, that is a replacement, not an installation. We will tell you honestly whether a repair, a replacement, or a full new system makes the most sense. We do not push a bigger job than the structure needs. That honesty-first guidance is the whole point.
Do you install metal and tile on new homes?
Yes. Standing seam and exposed-fastener metal and both concrete and clay tile are excellent choices for new Florida homes. They last decades, handle heat and salt air well on the coast, and can lower long-term cost of ownership. See our metal roofing and tile roofing pages for detail.
How do I get a quote for a new roof?
Start with our instant roof estimate online, or call (813) 388-9190 to schedule an on-site consult. We will review the plans or the structure, talk through materials, and give you a clear, itemized quote with no pressure attached.
