Complete Roof Replacement – Tampa, FL

Property Type: Educational Facility

Project Date: March 2025

Product Used: Owens Corning Duration Shingles; Color: Summer Harvest

Project Summary

Westfall Roofing completed a shingle roof installation for this educational facility in New Tampa, addressing multiple existing issues while providing superior protection and enhanced aesthetics. The project included complete tear-off of existing materials, installation of new high-quality shingles, and custom woodwork to repair damaged areas. Our roofers worked efficiently to minimize any disruption to the building’s operations while delivering an asphalt shingle roof backed by industry-leading warranties.

The Challenge

The school’s aging roof system had multiple compromised areas requiring immediate attention. Several penetrations needed proper flashing and sealing, and inspection revealed damaged fascia boards and wood rot in multiple locations. The project demanded complex coordination around existing HVAC equipment, attic fans, and other roof penetrations, all while ensuring the facility remained secure and construction debris was completely removed before students returned each Monday. Safety protocols and timeline management presented significant additional challenges beyond typical commercial installations.
