Thinking about a metal roof, or need work on the one you have? One call connects you with a local roofer who installs and repairs metal roofs on homes, barns, and other buildings.
Tampa gets nearly daily afternoon thunderstorms from late spring into fall, with heavy bursts of rain, gusty wind and some of the most frequent lightning in the country. Hurricane season runs June through November; in 2024 Hurricane Milton brought hurricane-force winds across the bay area and Hurricane Helene pushed record storm surge into low-lying neighborhoods. Year-round heat and humidity wear on roofing, while freezes are rare.
Roofs in Tampa have to stand up to hurricane-force winds and wind-driven rain, storm surge and flooding in low-lying areas, frequent summer thunderstorms and lightning and heat, humidity and strong sun. Mention what happened to your roof when you call, so you are connected with a roofer who handles that kind of project.

Do Tampa roof repairs need a permit?
The City of Tampa's Construction Services Division issues roofing permits for homes and businesses, and roof repair or replacement over 500 square feet is handled as a permitted job. For smaller repairs, check with Construction Services before work begins, since state code also limits how much of a roof can be patched without bringing it up to current code.
- Under the Florida Building Code, no more than 25% of a roof or roof section can be repaired, replaced or recovered in a 12-month period unless the whole roof system or section is brought up to current code.
- In certain flood hazard zones, repairs exceeding 50% of a structure's pre-damage value may have to meet flood-resistant construction standards.
- The city advises verifying a contractor's state license with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation before hiring.
Check with the City of Tampa Construction Services Division if you are unsure.

- Exposed fastener panels, often called corrugated or ribbed panels
- Metal shingles designed to look like slate, shake, or tile
- Stone-coated steel with a textured, granular finish
- Steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc, each with different strengths

What causes the most roof damage in Tampa?
Tampa gets nearly daily afternoon thunderstorms from late spring into fall, with heavy bursts of rain, gusty wind and some of the most frequent lightning in the country. Hurricane season runs June through November; in 2024 Hurricane Milton brought hurricane-force winds across the bay area and Hurricane Helene pushed record storm surge into low-lying neighborhoods.

Is a metal roof a good choice for my home?
Metal works well for many homes, especially in areas with snow, wildfire risk, or strong sun. It may be less appealing if your budget is tight or neighborhood rules limit materials. A local metal roofer can help you weigh the options.
What is the difference between standing seam and corrugated metal?
Standing seam panels have raised seams and hidden fasteners, which give a clean look and fewer exposed holes. Corrugated or ribbed panels are fastened through the face, which often costs less but means more fasteners to maintain.
