Roofer in Apollo Beach FL | Red Truck Roofing | GAF Master Elite , BBB A+ , USA Today #3 Roofing Contractor , 4.8 Stars Across 262 Google Reviews
A roofer in Apollo Beach FL is a Florida licensed roofing contractor who replaces, repairs and inspects roofs on the canal front homes, master planned communities and condos of Apollo Beach, Ruskin and Sun City Center on the Hillsborough County south shore, where salt air and open bay wind shorten the life of every roof covering.
Red Truck Roofing (FL License CCC1332514) has serviced more than 6,000 roofs across Tampa Bay since March 2020, including the metal, tile and shingle roofs of Apollo Beach, a community of 26,000 people threaded by 55 miles of canals.
Our office is on Gunn Highway in Odessa, and a project manager reaches U.S. 41 at Apollo Beach Boulevard in about 50 minutes by Interstate 275 and Interstate 75. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because a lifted panel the night before a storm cannot wait.
Every Roof System on an Apollo Beach Home, From a 1960s Canal Ranch to a MiraBay Tile Roof, Installed by Crews Certified on It
Red Truck Roofing installs shingle, metal, stone coated steel, concrete and clay tile, composite and flat roofs across Apollo Beach, Ruskin and Sun City Center. The housing stock here splits cleanly by distance from the water.
The original canal neighborhoods along Bal Harbour Drive and Surfside Boulevard are concrete block ranches from the 1960s through the 1980s. Symphony Isles and Harbor Isles added deep water lots through the 1990s. MiraBay, Andalucia and Covington Park brought Mediterranean and coastal styles after 2000, and Waterset is still building inland along Big Bend Road.

Roof Replacement in Apollo Beach Finished in One Day
A full roof replacement in Apollo Beach strips the roof to the deck, replaces rotten wood, and installs a new code compliant system under a Hillsborough County permit, with attachment engineered for a site inside the wind borne debris region.
Most single story canal homes are done in one day. Standing seam metal and tile on the larger MiraBay and Symphony Isles homes run two to four days, and the site is magnet swept before the last truck leaves.

Roof Repair and Leak Repair in Apollo Beach
Roof repair in Apollo Beach fixes the damaged slope, flashing or pipe boot on a roof permitted after March 1, 2009 without forcing a full replacement. Since Senate Bill 4-D in 2022, a roof built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later can be repaired no matter how much of it is damaged. A MiraBay or Waterset roof from 2015 is on the right side of that line. A 1975 block ranch on Flamingo Drive with its original tile or a second layer of shingles usually is not. We check the permit date before we quote so you hear the right answer first.
Near the water, the most common repair is not the shingle at all. It is corroded flashing, rusted drip edge and pitted vent stacks, which we replace in aluminum or stainless so the repair does not come back in three years.
★★★★★
“I spoke in passing of possibly needing to repair my roof due to a leak I’d noticed on my ceiling. Sarah was at my house inspecting the damage both inside and up top on the roof! She determined I had damage to my roof in several areas from a storm and helped me through the entire process!”

Storm Damage and Insurance Claim Roofing After Helene and Milton
Storm damage roofing in Apollo Beach means separating wind damage from surge damage, documenting both, meeting your adjuster on the roof, and restoring the roof to the current Florida Building Code. No community in Hillsborough County took 2024 harder. Helene passed well offshore on September 26, 2024 and still pushed 5 to 7 feet of surge into Tampa Bay, with 7.2 feet above normal high tide measured at East Bay and 6.04 feet at Port Manatee. Water came up the canals into the older streets off Apollo Beach Boulevard, and the county opened a comfort station in Apollo Beach for families who had lost the contents of their homes.
Milton followed thirteen days later, on October 9, with peak gusts of 80 to 100 mph across Hillsborough County and 5 to 10 inches of rain on the south shore. That storm stripped shingles and pool cages from Waterset to Symphony Isles. Wind is a homeowner’s policy claim and surge is a flood policy claim. We write the roof report so the two do not get tangled.
★★★★★
“We had roof damaged from Hurricane Milton high wind plus others structures damaged. A colleague from work had recommended Sarah Forbes from Red Truck Roofing while back but we didn’t have the need until our roof was damaged from Hurricane Milton. We contacted Sarah and she came out to evaluate the damage. To summarize Sarah and her team was well trusted and professional.”

Waterfront Metal Roofing for Canal Front and Bay Front Homes
Waterfront metal roofing in Apollo Beach means aluminum standing seam on any home within sight of the bay, because Galvalume and painted steel will rust at the cut edges within a few years of salt spray. Aluminum does not rust. Paired with stainless fasteners, a self adhered underlayment and clips rated for the 140 to 160 mph design wind speed, an aluminum standing seam roof on a Symphony Isles or Harbor Isles home is the last roof most owners will buy.
Inland in Waterset and Covington Park, 24 or 26 gauge Galvalume or painted steel performs well at lower cost. On a 1970s block home not framed for concrete tile, Tilcor and Decra stone coated steel or Brava composite gives the tile look at a fraction of the weight.
★★★★★
“Red Truck was there every step of the way. They came through for us and helped us get the roof we needed. They are very professional and knowledgeable. Even our neighbors were impressed with the quality of work and how quickly it was installed.”

| Metal (5V, standing seam) | $10,000 to $45,000 | Aluminum vs steel, gauge, panel profile, trim complexity |

★★★★★
“Of the seven local roofing companies that we engaged and considered, Red Truck Roofing kept rising to the top in each category. We met with Cory C. from Red Truck Roofing. The quoted cost was very competitive with quotes that we received from other potential companies.”
