Red Truck Roofing installs shingle, metal, stone coated steel, concrete and clay tile, composite and flat roofs across Lutz, on both sides of the county line.
The housing stock here is unusually varied. Older lake lots along US 41 and Lutz Lake Fern Road carry ranches under live oaks. Calusa Trace is mid 1990s brick accented suburban, Heritage Harbor is late 1990s stucco, Cheval is gated Mediterranean with tile roofs, and Cordoba Estates is 286 newer executive homes.

A full roof replacement in Lutz strips the roof to the deck, replaces any rotten wood, and installs a new code compliant system under a Hillsborough County or Pasco County permit, depending on which side of the line your parcel sits.
We check the parcel before we quote.
★★★★★
“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.”

Roof repair in Lutz fixes the damaged slope, flashing or pipe boot on a roof permitted after March 1, 2009 without triggering a full replacement. Since Senate Bill 4-D in 2022, any roof built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later can be repaired no matter how much is damaged. The old 25 percent rule only applies to roofs older than that.
A Heritage Harbor roof from 2001 and a Cordoba Estates roof from 2016 fall on opposite sides of that line. We tell you which side yours is on before we quote a dollar.
★★★★★
“I had Red Truck Roofing over for a roof inspection. Cory Clark, our representative, did a full inspection of our oof. Much to my surprise, he told us that we had a good roof and no work was needed. He said we probably have at least 8-10 more years with this roof. I appreciate their honesty.”

Storm damage roofing in Lutz means documenting wind and water damage, meeting your adjuster on the roof, and restoring the roof to current code. Lutz is inland, so Helene on September 26, 2024 was a wind and rain event here, not a surge event: gusts of 60 to 70 mph in Hillsborough and 50 to 60 in Pasco. Milton on October 9, 2024 hit harder, with Hillsborough gusts of 80 to 100 mph and 10 to 15 inches of rain.
Cypress Creek, on the Lutz and Wesley Chapel line, was forecast to major flood stage, and about 500,000 Hillsborough customers lost power. We are still finding lifted shingles from that night on Lutz roofs nobody has looked at since.
★★★★★
“Upon inspection he said I had ‘severe’ wind damage from the recent storms. Based on his findings I filed a claim with my insurance company. 2 days later they sent an adjuster out and a week after that I had a check in my hand to replace the roof”

Specialty roofing in Lutz covers concrete and clay tile on the Mediterranean homes in Cheval and Villarosa, standing seam metal on lakefront and acreage properties, and Brava composite or Tilcor and Decra stone coated steel for owners who want a slate, shake or tile look at a fraction of the weight.
Gated communities like Cheval and Cordoba Estates have architectural review boards, so we supply product sheets and color samples for HOA approval before anything is ordered. Every system is attached for the 140 to 160 mph design wind speed.
★★★★★
“They had certain specifications that were required by my HOA and followed them to the letter.”

Roofs in Lutz fail from ultraviolet exposure, daily summer thunderstorms, tropical wind and, on the older lake lots, decades of oak canopy holding leaves and moisture against the shingles. The lifespan on the bundle was tested in a lab, not under a live oak in August.
Lutz sits in a 140 to 160 mph ultimate design wind speed zone under the 2023 Florida Building Code. Milton’s 80 to 100 mph gusts were the first real test many 2000s era Lutz roofs had faced, and four nail shingle installs were the first thing to fail.
Tampa Bay sees more than 240 days of sun a year. Asphalt shingles shed granules faster here than in the northern states where they are rated, so a 30 year shingle typically delivers 20 to 25 years in Lutz.
Summer afternoons can drop an inch of rain in twenty minutes. Water finds every lifted shingle, cracked pipe boot and unsealed flashing, and algae on shaded north slopes holds moisture against the shingle mat.
Lutz’s older neighborhoods and acreage lots sit under mature oaks and pines. 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.
A roof inspection is the only way to know a roof’s condition for certain, but Lutz homeowners can spot these signs from the driveway or the attic hatch. Two or more means call before the next storm.
Shingle granules collecting in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts
Shingles curling at the edges, cupping, or missing after a storm
Dark streaks or green growth on the roof surface, especially under oaks
Ceiling stains, bubbling paint or a musty smell in the attic after rain
Daylight showing through the roof boards from inside the attic
Sagging along the ridge or between rafters
Rust on metal flashing, drip edge or roof vents
Cracked or slipped tiles, or exposed underlayment where tiles once sat
An insurance carrier asking for a roof inspection or four point inspection before renewal
The choice between roof repair and roof replacement in Lutz comes down to three facts: when the roof was permitted, how much is damaged, and how many years of life remain. We walk you through those facts before recommending anything, and sometimes the honest answer is a $900 repair.

“She asked if they would come and address the issue. They did so and without even an appointment or charge!”

Roof replacement in Lutz runs from about $6,000 for a small shingle roof to $55,000 or more for tile and standing seam metal, based on Red Truck Roofing’s 2026 Tampa Bay estimates.
| Roof Type | Typical Lutz Installed Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | $5,000 to $32,000 | Roof size, pitch, decking replacement, layers removed |
| Metal (5V, standing seam) | $10,000 to $45,000 | Gauge, panel profile, aluminum vs steel, trim complexity |
| Concrete or clay tile | $15,000 to $55,000 plus | Tile weight, attachment method, underlayment system |
| Flat or low slope | $7,000 to $40,000 | Membrane type, insulation, drains and tapered systems |
Every estimate is written line by line: materials, labor, permit fees, dump fees and a decking allowance shown separately, with three material options at three price points.
★★★★★
“They were very upfront about the costs associated with an extra stuff they find like multiple shingle layers and rotten plywood. Icing on the cake was they take credit cards as well. Overall, very good experience and didn’t set me back nearly as much as I thought it would.”

A Red Truck Roofing project follows the same six steps on every roof in Lutz, so you always know what happens next.
A project manager walks the roof and the attic, photographs every issue and hands you the photos whether you hire us or not.
Line item pricing, three material options, and a plain explanation of what your insurance may or may not cover.
We confirm whether your parcel is Hillsborough or Pasco, pull the permit in our own name, and give you an install date.
The old roof comes off, the decking is inspected board by board, and rotten wood is replaced at the allowance rate.
Underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the roof covering go on to manufacturer spec so your warranty is valid.
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.”

A storm chaser is an out of state roofing crew that arrives after a hurricane, knocks doors, collects deposits and leaves before the warranty is ever tested. Lutz saw plenty after Milton. Here is how to tell the difference in five minutes.
A Florida roofer holds a CCC license. Ours is CCC1332514.
Red Truck Roofing is at 8517 Gunn Hwy in Odessa, 15 minutes from Lutz. A hotel is not an office.
Florida changed the law in 2023 and most AOB contracts on new policies are void anyway.
A company with 262 Google reviews has a history. A company that formed last month does not.
If the roofer asks you to pull it as an owner builder, he is avoiding accountability.
★★★★★
"Wonderful company! Always there when you need anything."

Red Truck Roofing runs every job from 8517 Gunn Hwy in Odessa, with crews on roofs every day across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Manatee counties. If your property is in Lutz, in one of the 20 cities below, or anywhere between them, there is already a red truck nearby.
From Lutz, our office is a straight shot west. Take Van Dyke Road west from Dale Mabry Highway or US 41 to Gunn Highway and turn north. From Cheval it is about 15 minutes; from the train depot at US 41 and Lutz Lake Fern Road, closer to 20.
Red Truck Roofing is the highest rated roofer serving Lutz from a local office, with 4.8 stars across 262 Google reviews, GAF Master Elite status, a BBB A+ rating and USA Today’s #3 ranking nationwide in 2024. Our office is at 8517 Gunn Hwy in Odessa, 15 minutes west on Van Dyke Road.
A new roof in Lutz 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. A free inspection gives you an exact line item number.
It depends on which side of the county line your parcel sits. The Hillsborough side of Lutz permits through Hillsborough County Development Services, and the Pasco side through Pasco County Building Construction Services. Red Truck Roofing is registered in both and pulls every permit in our own name, never yours.
Most single family roof replacements in Lutz take one day with Red Truck Roofing, with tile and metal projects running two to four days. Several Google reviews describe the crew finishing by mid afternoon.

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.
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 (after March 1, 2009) can be repaired regardless of damage.
Standing seam metal and concrete tile hold up longest against wind, sun and falling limbs. For most Lutz homes, an architectural shingle like GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration with six nails per shingle is the best value.
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.
A free roof inspection from Red Truck Roofing tells you what shape your Lutz roof is in, what it will cost to fix or replace, and whether your insurance policy belongs in the conversation. A project manager can be on your roof within days, not weeks.
