Overview
Find the entry point, not just the stain
Water travels. It enters at a failed boot or a lifted shingle, runs along the underlayment and the rafters, and shows up as a brown ring on a ceiling several feet away. Patching under the stain does nothing.
Our first visit is a trace. We look at the penetrations, the flashing, the valleys and the field of the roof, and we check the attic. Then we tell you what failed and what it takes to fix it.
Why us
What USA Roofing & Construction brings to the job
Trace first
We find the entry point before we quote, so you pay for the fix and not for guesses.
Repairs that match
Replacement shingles and flashing are matched to what is on the roof so the repair holds in wind.
Honest about the limits
If the roof is at the end of its life we say so, with the reasons, and you decide what to do.
Temporary protection
When a storm is coming we can tarp the damaged section so the house stays dry until the permanent repair.
The usual suspects around Tampa Bay
The same handful of failure points produce most of the leaks we are called to. Check these first if you can see the roof safely from the ground.
- Pipe boots and vent flashings, where the rubber collar cracks in the sun and lets water run down the pipe.
- Lifted or missing shingles after a strong thunderstorm, especially along ridges and edges.
- Valleys where water concentrates and old flashing has corroded.
- Walls and chimneys where flashing has pulled away from the masonry.
- Skylight and solar mount penetrations that were never sealed to roof level.
- Tile that has slipped or cracked, exposing the underlayment to sun and rain.
After a storm
Helene and Milton affected St. Petersburg within two weeks in 2024, and summer thunderstorms bring gusts all season. After weather like that, walk the property and photograph what you see before touching it.
Do not climb a wet roof. Photograph damage from the ground, move valuables from under any stain, and call. Pictures help your insurer, and we can give you a written description of the damage and the repair.
- Look for shingles in the yard, bare spots on the slopes and bent flashing at the edges.
- Check ceilings and attic insulation for dampness.
- Keep receipts for emergency protection such as a tarp, since many policies reimburse it.
Repair or replace
A repair makes sense when the roof has years of life and the damage is local. When the covering is brittle across the whole roof, repeated patching costs more than a new roof and still leaks.
- Repair: one failed boot, a few lifted shingles, a short run of flashing.
- Repair and monitor: a roof within a few years of its end of life with one clear problem.
- Replace: widespread curling and granule loss, repeated leaks in different places, or a failed underlayment.
Roof financing
A new roof should not wait for the perfect budget
Tell us what the roof needs and we will walk you through the financing options with nothing down, so the work can start when the roof needs it.
- No credit check required
- $0 down with 100% financing
- Secured and unsecured financing
- 10, 20 and 30 year terms
- No pre-payment penalty
Approval and terms depend on your credit and the project. We will go through them with you.
The monthly payment for a 15-year home improvement installment loan of $10,000 with an APR of 10.99% would be $113. No down payment required. Not all loan products will be available to all partners or all consumers.
Questions
Roof Repair — straight answers
How quickly can you look at a leak?
Call (727) 870-1320 during office hours and tell us what you see. If water is coming in right now, say so and we will prioritize it. Schedules shift with weather, so we confirm a time when we call.
Do you repair tile and flat roofs too?
Yes. Tile repair means resetting or replacing broken pieces and checking the underlayment, and flat roof repair means locating the failed seam or drain and re-sealing it.
Will a repair match my old shingles?
We match the type and color as closely as we can. Older shingles may be discontinued, so a slight difference can show until the new pieces weather.
Can you help with an insurance claim?
We document the damage and the repair in writing, with photographs, which your insurer may ask for. The claim itself is between you and your carrier, and we do not argue it for you.
What if you find the roof needs replacing?
We show you why and let you decide. If a short-term repair will hold, we do that first and note when to plan the replacement.
