The Pinellas County Reviews

Verified feedback from property owners across Pinellas County

  • ★★★★★

    “We live in Pinellas County and last year (2024) we had two major hurricanes that hit this area. 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. We are happy with our new roof and would highly recommend Sarah with Red Truck Roofing”

Speed, precision magnet sweeps, and jobsite protection

  • ★★★★★

    “They had certain specifications that were required by my HOA and followed them to the letter. They covered the bushes around the house and not one piece of shingle, roof paper or anything was left on my property. I am in a four unit villa.”

    Joanne Lawson 5 stars, Google review

  • ★★★★★

    “Most surprising is that they did my entire roof from demo to finish in about 6 or 7 hours. By comparison my neighbors down the block are getting a new roof and the crew has been out there for 9 days and counting with a big dumpster in their driveway (Yuck) Red Truck Roofing had a crew out here of 9 or ten men it was amazing.”

What People Say About the Insurance Claim

Navigating carrier adjusters and storm recovery smoothly

  • ★★★★★

    Jen 5 stars, Google review

  • ★★★★★

    “Cory Clark walked us through the process, what to expect, and most importantly, what NOT to do. When our insurance company gave us issues, Cory and Red Truck were there to help.”

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

Roofs in Clearwater fail from a combination of Gulf salt air, near constant sun, daily summer downpours and tropical wind, and a city that runs from the beach to Tampa Bay gets a dose of every one of them.

The Four Forces Working Against a Clearwater Roof

  • Wind

    Clearwater sits in a 140 to 160 mph ultimate design wind speed zone under the 2023 Florida Building Code, and everything within a mile of the Gulf or the bay falls inside the wind borne debris region. Milton pushed gusts past 100 mph across Pinellas County.

  • Heat and UV

    Clearwater Beach draws visitors for the same sun that cooks asphalt shingles from March through October. Granules shed, sealant strips harden and crack, and a shingle rated for 30 years up north delivers 20 to 25 here.

  • Rain and Humidity

    A summer afternoon in Clearwater can drop an inch of rain in twenty minutes, and Milton dropped up to 18 inches on parts of Pinellas in a night. Water finds every lifted shingle, cracked pipe boot and unsealed flashing, and on the flat roofs of Sand Key towers, ponding water is the leading cause of membrane failure we see.

  • Salt Air

    Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, Sand Key and every home along Clearwater Harbor breathe salt air year round. Salt corrodes galvanized nails, drip edge, vent stacks and the fasteners on metal roofs. Within sight of the Gulf we specify aluminum panels, stainless fasteners and coated drip edge, because a roof is only as good as the metal holding it down.

Granules in the Gutter, Stains on the Ceiling: Nine Signs Your Clearwater 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 Clearwater homeowners can spot from the driveway or the attic hatch. Two or more means call for a free inspection.

  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 on the north slope

  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 trusses

  7. Rust bleeding from metal flashing, drip edge or roof vents near the water

  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 Clearwater Homeowners to Get a Repair Instead of a New Roof

The choice between roof repair and roof replacement in Clearwater 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.

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

Your Clearwater Roof Replacement in Six Steps From First Call to City Final Inspection

A Red Truck Roofing project follows the same six steps on every roof in Clearwater, so you always know what happens next.

Roofer in Seminole FL inspecting roof decking board by board during a Red Truck Roofing tear off
  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 the City of Clearwater Planning and Development Department through ePermit, 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, city final inspection, and your manufacturer warranty registered in your name.

★★★★★

“Our experience was top notch from start to finish. The roof was completed in 1 day, the team was professional, there was a supervisor on site for any questions and they cleaned up very well after the work was completed.”

  • Red Truck Roofing workmanship warranty in writing on every installation

  • Transferable coverage on most systems, which matters the day you sell the house

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. Clearwater Beach saw plenty of them after Helene and Milton.

  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 hotel room on Gulf to Bay 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."

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the best roofer in Clearwater FL?

Red Truck Roofing is the highest rated roofer serving Clearwater with a verifiable record: 4.8 stars across 262 Google reviews, GAF Master Elite status, a BBB A+ rating, a Pinellas County registration and USA Today’s #3 ranking among roofing contractors nationwide in 2024.

How much does a new roof cost in Clearwater, FL?

A new roof in Clearwater costs roughly $6,000 to $38,000 for shingle homes, $10,000 to $45,000 for metal, and $15,000 to $55,000 or more for tile, based on Red Truck Roofing’s 2026 Tampa Bay estimates. Beach and Island Estates homes that need aluminum panels land in the upper half of the metal range.

Who pulls the roofing permit in Clearwater, the city or the county?

The City of Clearwater does. Roof permits inside city limits go through the Clearwater Planning and Development Department’s ePermit portal, and Red Truck Roofing pulls every one in our own name. Homes with a Clearwater address in unincorporated Pinellas, such as Feather Sound or Highpoint, permit through the county instead.

How long does a roof replacement take in Clearwater?

Most single family roof replacements in Clearwater take one day with Red Truck Roofing, with tile and metal projects running two to four days. Our most recent large multi family community was more than 12 buildings in under three weeks.

Are you open 24 hours?

Yes. Red Truck Roofing answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 813-RED-TRCK, which is (813) 733-8725. Emergency tarping and leak response are available around the clock.

Does Red Truck Roofing help with insurance claims after a hurricane in Clearwater?

Yes. We document the damage with photos and a written report, meet your adjuster on the roof, and supply the code compliance paperwork your carrier requires. Our claims coordinators are named in dozens of Google reviews from Helene and Milton claims.

What is Florida’s 25 percent roof rule?

Florida’s 25 percent roof rule once forced a full replacement whenever more than 25 percent of a roof section was repaired in a year. Since Senate Bill 4-D in 2022, any roof permitted under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later (installed after March 1, 2009) can be repaired no matter how much is damaged.

What roofing material lasts longest near the beach in Clearwater?

Aluminum standing seam metal and concrete tile hold up longest against salt air, sun and wind on Clearwater Beach, Island Estates and Sand Key. Inland in Countryside and Skycrest, architectural shingles from GAF or Owens Corning are the best value when installed with six nails per shingle and a sealed underlayment.

Is Red Truck Roofing licensed and insured in Florida?

Yes. Red Truck Roofing holds Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license CCC1332514 and Certified Building Contractor license CBC1259162, both verifiable at MyFloridaLicense.com, and carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Certificates of insurance come with every contract.
