Roofing in Temple Terrace, FL
Clay tile on older Mediterranean-style homes, shingle on the mid-century streets, and big oaks over most of it.
Roofs in Temple Terrace
Temple Terrace sits along the Hillsborough River northeast of Tampa, and it was laid out in the 1920s with Mediterranean Revival homes, many of them under clay barrel tile. Later decades added ranch homes and shingle roofs, and the whole city is shaded by mature live oaks.
Those oaks are lovely and hard on roofs. Leaves and acorns pile up in valleys and gutters, branches scrape the surface in wind, and shade keeps some slopes damp long enough for algae and moss to take hold.
Working on older tile
- We replace broken clay tiles one at a time and try to match the original profile and color
- On older tile roofs the underlayment is often the real problem; we lift a few tiles to check it
- Flat roof sections and parapets on Mediterranean-style homes get their own attention at the tie-ins
- Valleys under oaks are cleared and checked for rust or wear
Permits for Temple Terrace addresses
Temple Terrace is its own city, separate from Tampa, so reroof permits go through the City of Temple Terrace rather than the City of Tampa or the county. We confirm the right office and handle the permit and inspection for you.
Temple Terrace roofing questions
Can you match the clay tile on my older home?
We source the closest match we can. For rare profiles we may move sound original tiles to a visible slope and use new ones where they won't show.
Should I cut back the oaks over my roof?
Keeping branches off the roof surface helps a lot. A licensed tree service should do the cutting; we can tell you which limbs are causing wear.
