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”

    Thitaiv Nguyen Pinellas County, 5 stars, Google review

  • ★★★★★

    “We have a house in Saint Petersburg and other house in Seminole. Our roofs were damaged by hurricane Milton. We were introduced to Sarah (Red Truck roofing) by a friend and we were so pleased by that introduction. We got our roofs replaced by Red Truck. We were very happy and very satisfied with the jobs they did.”

Why Roofs Fail in Palm Harbor Faster Than the Number on the Shingle Wrapper

Roofs in Palm Harbor fail from a combination of relentless sun, daily summer thunderstorms, tropical wind and, west of Alternate 19, salt air off St. Joseph Sound that corrodes fasteners and flashing years before the shingles wear out. The lifespan on the bundle was tested in a lab, not on a hill above Crystal Beach with a Gulf breeze on it every afternoon.

The Four Forces Working Against a Palm Harbor Roof

  • Wind

    Palm Harbor sits in a 140 to 160 mph ultimate design wind speed zone under the 2023 Florida Building Code, and the coastal strip is inside the wind borne debris region. Milton’s 80 to 100 mph gusts found every four nail shingle in the county.

  • Heat and UV

    Northern Pinellas County 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 Palm Harbor.

  • Rain and Humidity

    Helene dropped 4.38 inches of rain near Crystal Beach on top of its surge, and an ordinary summer afternoon drops an inch in twenty minutes. Water finds every lifted shingle, cracked pipe boot and unsealed flashing.

  • Salt Air

    Homes in Ozona, Crystal Beach, Baywood Village and along Alternate 19 breathe salt every day. Galvanized nails, steel drip edge and untreated flashing rust from the inside out, and a rusted fastener holds nothing in a gust. Near the water we specify aluminum panels, stainless or hot dipped fasteners and sealed underlayment, and we inspect the flashing every two years, not every five.

Granules in the Gutter, Rust on the Drip Edge: Nine Signs Your Palm Harbor 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 Palm Harbor homeowners can spot from the driveway or the attic. Two or more means call 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

  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, especially west of Alternate 19

  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 Palm Harbor Homeowners to Get a Repair Instead of a New Roof

The choice between roof repair and roof replacement in Palm Harbor 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

“There wasnt much in the way that needed to be repaired from the storms, but he gave excellent advice on how to fix the little things to prevent any serious issues from developing.”

What Is Inside a Red Truck Roofing Estimate

“I worked with Cory Clark on the pricing and project plan and he provided 3 quotes using quality GAF roofing shingles. I went with the highest quality of the three. Pricing was reasonable and in the range of the other quotes I received.”

Your Palm Harbor Roof Replacement in Six Steps From First Call to County Final Inspection

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

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 Pinellas County Building and Development Review Services in our own name, submit to your HOA if you have one, 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.

★★★★★

“Cory was the only person who came out to do an estimate while also giving me insight on roofing since i didn’t know anything about it and talked me through the whole process. He also was very accessible via text message whenever i had a question and he was able to answer them all.”

Red Truck Roofing roofs carry the manufacturer warranty on the materials and our own workmanship warranty on the installation. Master Elite status means GAF customers can qualify for the Golden Pledge, with 25 years of workmanship coverage backed by GAF, not just by us.

  • GAF Golden Pledge and System Plus warranties on qualifying GAF roofs

  • Owens Corning Preferred Protection on Owens Corning systems

  • Polyglass, Mule-Hide, Tamko and IKO manufacturer warranties on their respective products

  • 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 tested. Crystal Beach and Ozona saw plenty of them after Helene.

  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 on US 19 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 Palm Harbor FL?

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

How much does a new roof cost in Palm Harbor, FL?

A new roof in Palm Harbor 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 for your roof.

Who pulls the roof permit in Palm Harbor, the city or the county?

Palm Harbor is unincorporated, so every roof permit goes through Pinellas County Building and Development Review Services rather than a city hall. Red Truck Roofing holds a Pinellas County registration, pulls the permit in our own name and schedules the county final inspection for you.

How long does a roof replacement take in Palm Harbor?

Most single family shingle roof replacements in Palm Harbor take one day with Red Truck Roofing, with tile and metal projects running two to four days. HOA approval in Lansbrook or Cobb’s Landing can add a week or two before the install date.

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?

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 Helene and Milton reviews for that reason.

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 water in Palm Harbor?

Aluminum standing seam metal lasts longest in Ozona, Crystal Beach and anywhere salt air reaches, because it does not rust the way steel does. Concrete tile is the long lived choice inland, and architectural shingles from GAF or Owens Corning remain the best value for most Palm Harbor homes.

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.
