Residential Asphalt Shingles
We install durable asphalt shingle roofs tailored to Florida's climate. Our solutions include 3-tab and architectural shingles, offering cost-effective protection with fire resistance and moderate wind performance. With proper installation, these roofs balance affordability and longevity for homeowners seeking reliable coverage.
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Our standing seam metal roofs provide premium durability for residential and commercial properties. Using steel, aluminum, or copper, we create leak-resistant systems with hidden fasteners. These roofs withstand extreme weather, offering energy efficiency and low maintenance for long-term value in coastal and high-wind areas.
Commercial TPO Systems
We specialize in thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing for commercial buildings. This single-ply membrane offers heat resistance and energy efficiency. Our installations meet strict commercial standards, providing flat or low-slope solutions that resist UV degradation and chemical exposure while maintaining cost-effectiveness for large-scale projects.
Roof Maintenance Agreements
Our preventive maintenance programs extend roof lifespans through regular inspections and repairs. Tailored for commercial clients, these agreements address Florida's climate challenges, including UV exposure and hurricane preparedness. We identify issues early, minimizing leaks and costly replacements while maintaining warranty compliance.
Metal Roof Systems
We install metal roofing systems combining durability with energy efficiency. Options include coated steel, aluminum, and copper with finishes that reflect solar radiation. These lightweight systems resist corrosion and fire, offering sustainable solutions for residential and commercial properties requiring long-term performance in Florida's extreme weather conditions.

I found this business on line for my mom who lives in South Tampa. They couldn't repair her leak right away. But they tarped the area so she would not have any more sheetrock damage. A crew showed up today, had their own tools, completed the job. They did a outstanding job. Plus they cleaned up after theirs elves. I would hire this company any time there is a issue. They are honest and up front. They did a good job and did not try to take advantage of a elderly person

I've worked on many projects with Gantt Rorebeck over the years. He has been professional, prompt and prepared during all of them. I've worked with many roofing companies of the years in my line of work, but Mr Rorebeck puts Tampa Roofing Company over the top

Great job redoing the roof, but they left broken shingles and nails EVERYWHERE! My husband got one through his shoe and nearly through his foot in the yard, and I'm now on my fifth tire replacement. We're still picking them up by hand. I really hope the landscaper doesn't hit one with the mower and get injured. I have to watch the animals closely outside, too, because of this. Update: You wouldn't have a record under my name.
We are in an apartment complex. I tried to contact our landlord, but he didn't want to bother pursuing the issue since the roof was done. October 2017, I think? Just be more careful about cleanup afterwards. A magnetic metal-finder is at Home Depot for something like $25. That's what we ended up buying.

Did not show up 2 days in a row for scheduled appointments and did not call to let us know. Poor management/organization skills.

TRC did an excellent job. All employees are professional, the job was completed quickly and for the estimated price. All debris was cleaned and everything looks great. Thanks for a job well done.
