AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across University
Roof replacement in University, FL typically runs $9,500 to $18,000 for shingle on an average 1960s concrete-block ranch, while tile and metal systems land between $14,000 and $30,000 depending on profile and underlayment scope. Most jobs in the 33613 corridor take three to five working days once materials hit the driveway, with tear-off and dry-in completed before any storm window opens up. If you’re watching water stains spread across a ceiling near Fletcher Avenue or Bruce B. Downs, call (844) 901-4551 and Ed Winslow’s team will give you a straight answer on whether you need repair or a full reroof.
We’re Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing specialists who know exactly what University’s older housing stock throws at a roof deck. Original 1960s homes near USF carry framing spans and decking that predate post-2004 Florida Building Code uplift requirements. That matters when someone slaps new tile over old plywood without checking fastener patterns. It matters when a student rental sits with a leaking valley for two semesters because nobody noticed. We inspect what’s under the roof, not just what’s on top of it.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is University’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name still goes on every contract we write in University. That’s not a marketing line. It’s accountability. When a roofer cuts a corner on a home near 22nd Street or Skipper Road, the homeowner pays for it in three years. Ed doesn’t cut corners, because he’s the one who answers when the phone rings at 2 a.m. after a summer squall rips a ridge vent loose.
We serve University regularly, which means our crews know the street patterns, the HOA quirks in certain subdivisions, and the permit expectations from Hillsborough County. You won’t get a crew that gets lost on the way to your house because they’re driving in from three counties over. You get a University roofer who has already done four roofs on your block this year. Every technician arrives background-checked and uniformed. Every estimate is written, line-item, and fixed. No change orders buried in fine print.
Our standing offers apply to every University customer: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those aren’t seasonal promotions. They’re the way we do business.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in University
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common roof on University’s 1960s and 1970s concrete-block homes. The original three-tab roofs on these properties are decades past their expected life. We tear off to the deck, replace rotted sheathing where the subtropical humidity has done its work, and install full synthetic underlayment with new drip edge, flashing, and ridge venting. A typical 1,800 to 2,400 square foot University ranch runs $9,500 to $18,000.
Tile Roofing
Clay and concrete tile fits the aesthetic of certain University neighborhoods where homeowners want longevity and fire resistance. Tile weighs more than shingle, so we verify the existing deck and truss capacity before quoting. Some 1960s homes with 2×4 trusses need structural reinforcement to carry tile legally. In University’s wind zone, tile also requires field attachment that meets current uplift standards. Expect $18,000 to $30,000 for a full tile system with underlayment.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and metal shingle systems handle University’s lightning-heavy summer storms better than almost anything else. Metal sheds water fast, doesn’t hold moisture against the deck, and carries the best wind ratings of the three roof types. For homes near USF that get pounded by afternoon thunderstorms from June through September, metal is a serious long-term play. Budget $16,000 to $28,000 depending on panel gauge and roof complexity.
Roof Repair and Leak Remediation
Not every leak means full replacement. We do targeted repair work: replacing cracked tiles, resealing pipe boots, fixing valley metal, and addressing the threshold rot and seal failure that University’s rainfall accelerates around wall-to-roof intersections. We tell you honestly whether repair buys you five years or five months. That honesty is why our University customers keep our number saved.

Trusted Brands We Service in University
We install and service roofing systems from manufacturers that stand behind their products. For impact-rated glazing that often accompanies a reroof, we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and ViewLux. On the roofing side, we use GAF, Owens Corning, and Eagle tile, chosen for their wind performance and warranty support in Florida’s climate. If you have a specific brand requirement from your insurance carrier or HOA in University, we’ll match it and document everything for your wind mitigation file.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in University Homes
- Fastener corrosion under shingle tabs. University’s interior subtropical corridor gets some of the highest annual thunderstorm rainfall in the continental US. Original roofing nails on 1960s homes are often surface-rusted, leading to shingle blow-off during afternoon squalls. We see this on nearly every original roof we tear off in 33613.
- Nail pops through decking from truss movement. Older concrete-block homes settle, and in University’s saturated summer soil, that settlement accelerates. Nail pops create small gaps that let water in slowly, often going unnoticed in student rentals where nobody’s paying attention to ceiling stains.
- Improperly flashed chimneys and wall intersections. The 1960s and 1970s construction in University used step flashing that has long since separated. Water travels along the seam, rots the deck, and shows up as a stain on the ceiling ten feet from the actual leak.
- Under-ventilated attics cooking shingles from below. Tampa’s sustained summer humidity and heat build up in University attics without sufficient intake and exhaust. Shingles bake, curl, and fail years early. We correct ventilation on every reroof.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in University, FL

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in University
Let’s give you honest anchors, not vague ranges. A full shingle reroof on a 1,800 square foot University home: $9,500 to $18,000, with architectural shingles at the low end and high-wind shingles at the top. Tile: $18,000 to $30,000, driven by whether you choose concrete or clay, and whether your trusses need reinforcement. Metal standing seam: $16,000 to $28,000 depending on gauge, panel profile, and how many roof transitions your home has. Hip roofs cost more than gable roofs because of the additional cutting and waste. A roof with five penetrations (vents, pipe boots, skylights) takes more labor than one with two.
If you’re adding impact-rated windows as part of the same exterior upgrade, budget $800 to $1,500 per window installed, $900 to $1,800 for impact single-hung, and $2,500 to $5,000 for large or custom openings like picture windows or sliding glass door combinations. Whole-home glass packages run $8,000 to $25,000 and up in University, depending on opening count and floor height. Free in-home measure and written quote, every time. The number is (844) 901-4551.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack if you know what to claim. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover up to $10,000 in qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades for eligible University homeowners. Florida’s sales-tax exemption removes the tax burden on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), most University homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy.
We don’t process your insurance paperwork, but we document every wind mitigation feature we install so your inspector has what they need. Florida Statute 627.0629 is the law that entitles University homeowners to premium credits for documented improvements. We know what the inspectors look for in 33613, and we build to that standard.

FAQs — Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in University
Yes. Any window replacement in Hillsborough County requires a permit, and jalousie replacement is no exception. More importantly, replacing those original glass-louvered units triggers a code review that often requires upgrades to the rough opening, framing, and waterproofing around the sash. We pull permits, handle the inspection, and document everything for your wind mitigation file. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk you through what your specific property will need.
Replacement must meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for your home’s location within University’s wind zone. That means impact-rated or non-impact units with shutters, plus proper anchoring, flashing, and stabilization of the rough opening. A wind mitigation inspection after the work documents the improvement for your insurance premium credit. We evaluate all of this before we quote, so you know the full scope before we start. Estimates are free.
The sustained summer humidity in 33613 fogs original insulated glass units and warps untreated wooden frames, which makes sashes bind and jambs shift out of square. You’ll notice windows that stick, gaps at the meeting rail, and condensation between the panes. Replacement with properly sealed impact units solves all three problems and restores the windows to full operation. We see this pattern constantly in original 1960s and 1970s University homes.
Yes, in measurable ways. Original single-pane aluminum windows in University’s 1960s homes lose treated air constantly, and the glass itself transmits heat. Impact-rated units with low-E coatings and laminated glass cut solar heat gain significantly, which reduces run time on your AC during the long Tampa cooling season. The exact savings depend on orientation and how much glass you have, but the direction is always down. We can discuss your specific layout during a free estimate.
Timing and occupant coordination. Student rentals in University run on the August lease cycle, which means any replacement work needs to happen during the narrow window between move-out and move-in, or with tenants in place. We schedule around those constraints and work efficiently so units are rent-ready on schedule. Deferred maintenance on rental properties near USF also means we often find additional damage behind the original windows, which we document and price clearly before any work proceeds.
