How to pay less
- • Get three written bids — spread between local bids on this project is routinely 25% or more.
- • Schedule in the off-season; Tampa contractors price peak demand higher.
- • Confirm the permit fee is itemized rather than marked up inside the labor line.
- • Verify the license at DBPR before paying a deposit; unlicensed work voids most claims.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Florida 25 percent roof rule?
When more than 25 percent of a roof section is repaired or replaced within any 12-month period, the Florida Building Code generally requires the entire roof section to be brought up to current code, which in practice means a full replacement.
