The Odessa and Westchase Reviews

Verified feedback from property owners across Odessa and Westchase

  • ★★★★★

    “Our roof suffered storm damage some months ago and there was a small leak in the garage. We called Red Truck Roofing and Sara came out and confirmed. From that point Sara took over. All of the insurance paperwork, inspections, permits were taken care of. All we had to do was select the color. The new roof is now installed and it looks beautiful! What a great job their team did! Couldn’t be happier! Craig, Odessa, Fl”

    Craig Schaffner Odessa, 5 stars, Google review
  • ★★★★★

    “This company replaced my roof in Westchase in the summer of last year. They came out, they were professional and prompt, they gave us their best price which beat the two other estimates we received. They kept all their promises and communicated with my husband and I through the whole process. We were always informed. They completed the roof before 2pm on the same day they started. We’ve been through a hurricane and a tropical storms with absolutely no problems. Would recommend to anyone needing roof service. 10/10”

Why Roofs Fail in Odessa Faster Than the Number on the Shingle Wrapper

Roofs in Odessa fail from a combination of ultraviolet exposure, daily summer thunderstorms, tropical wind events and, on the older lots around Lake Keystone and Gunn Highway, decades of oak canopy dropping leaves and moisture on north facing slopes. The lifespan printed on the bundle was tested in a lab, not under a live oak in August.

The Four Forces Working Against an Odessa Roof

  • Wind

    Odessa sits in a 140 to 160 mph ultimate design wind speed zone under the 2023 Florida Building Code. Shingles nailed with four nails instead of six are the first thing we find on failed roofs after a storm. The open pasture and lake exposure around Keystone gives wind a longer run at the roof than a tight subdivision does.

  • Heat and UV

    Tampa Bay sees more than 240 days of sun a year. Asphalt shingles shed their protective granules faster here than in the northern states where they are rated, which is why a 30 year shingle typically delivers 20 to 25 years in Hillsborough County.

  • Rain and Humidity

    Summer afternoons drop an inch of rain in twenty minutes. Water finds every lifted shingle, cracked pipe boot and unsealed flashing. Algae grows on north facing slopes and holds moisture against the shingle mat.

  • Tree Canopy

    Odessa’s older neighborhoods and acreage lots sit under mature oaks. Leaf litter in valleys and behind chimneys holds water against the roof, and branches abrade shingles in wind. Roofs under canopy need a valley and flashing inspection every two years, not every five.

Granules in the Gutter, Stains on the Ceiling: Nine Signs Your Odessa Roof Is Asking for Help

A roof inspection is the only way to know a roof’s condition for certain, but these are the signs Odessa homeowners can spot from the ground or the attic. Two or more means call for a free inspection before the next storm.

  1. Shingle granules collecting in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts

  2. Shingles curling at the edges, cupping, or missing after a storm

  3. Dark streaks or green growth on the roof surface, especially under trees

  4. Ceiling stains, bubbling paint or a musty smell in the attic after rain

  5. Daylight showing through the roof boards from inside the attic

  6. Sagging along the ridge or between rafters

  7. Rust on metal flashing, drip edge or roof vents

  8. Cracked or slipped tiles, or exposed underlayment where tiles once sat

  9. An insurance carrier asking for a roof inspection or four point inspection before renewal

Why We Tell Some Odessa Homeowners to Get a Repair Instead of a New Roof

The choice between roof repair and roof replacement in Odessa comes down to three facts: when the roof was permitted, how much of it is damaged, and how many years of life remain. Red Truck Roofing walks every customer through those three facts before recommending anything, and sometimes the honest answer is a $900 repair.

Factor
Repair Makes Sense
Replacement Makes Sense
Permit date
Repair makes sense Roof permitted after March 1, 2009 (2007 FBC or later)
Replacement makes sense Roof predates the 2007 code and more than 25 percent of a section is damaged
Roof age
Repair makes sense Shingle under 12 years, tile under 30, metal under 30
Replacement makes sense Shingle over 18 years, multiple layers, or widespread granule loss
Damage pattern
Repair makes sense One slope, one flashing, one pipe boot or a few tiles
Replacement makes sense Damage on multiple slopes or a leak that has reached the decking
Insurance position
Repair makes sense Carrier will renew with a repair and an inspection report
Replacement makes sense Carrier is requiring replacement to bind or renew the policy
Cost math
Repair makes sense Repair under 20 percent of replacement cost
Replacement makes sense Repair costs would repeat within two years

A Red Truck Roofing project follows the same six steps on every roof in Odessa, so you always know what happens next and who to call.

  1. Free inspection.

    A project manager walks the roof and the attic, photographs every issue and hands you the photos whether you hire us or not.

  2. Written estimate.

    Line item pricing, three material options, and a plain explanation of what your insurance policy may or may not cover.

  3. Permit and scheduling.

    We pull the permit with Hillsborough County or Pasco County in our own name and give you an install date.

  4. Tear off and deck inspection.

    The old roof comes off, the decking is inspected board by board, and rotten wood is replaced at the allowance rate in your estimate.

  5. Installation.

    Underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the roof covering go on to manufacturer spec so your extended warranty is valid.

  6. Cleanup, inspection and warranty.

    Magnetic sweep, county final inspection, and your manufacturer warranty registered in your name.

“Sarah handled everything for us! Was always there to answer questions over a call or text. Came to the house and explained the process and steps throughly. Lot of people won’t take the extra steps she did to make sure we knew what was happening and when. This company is also the only one that our warranty won’t end with when these named hurricanes come this season”

The Out of State Roofer Knocking Your Door After the Hurricane Is Not Your Neighbor

A storm chaser is an out of state roofing crew that arrives in Tampa Bay after a hurricane, knocks doors, collects deposits and leaves before the warranty is ever tested. Odessa saw plenty of them after Milton. Here is how to tell the difference in five minutes.

  1. Check the license at MyFloridaLicense.com.

    A Florida roofer holds a CCC license. Ours is CCC1332514.

  2. Ask for a local address you can drive to.

    Red Truck Roofing is at 8517 Gunn Hwy in Odessa. A P.O. box or a hotel is not an office.

  3. Never sign an assignment of benefits at the door.

    Florida changed the law in 2023 and most AOB contracts on new policies are void anyway.

  4. Check Google and the BBB.

    A company with 262 Google reviews has a history. A company that formed last month does not.

  5. Confirm the permit is pulled in the contractor’s name.

    If the roofer asks you to pull it as an owner builder, he is avoiding accountability.

"Wonderful company! Always there when you need anything."
