AfterPGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Tampa: What to Know First
PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing repair in Tampa typically runs $325-$1,900 depending on the roofing material, the extent of the damage, and whether we’re matching existing underlayment or replacing a full section. Most PGT roof repairs can be diagnosed and completed in a single visit, though tile and metal work sometimes needs a second trip once custom-ordered material arrives. As an independent PGT service provider, Winslow Windows & Doors repairs the roofing systems on Tampa homes that already trust the PGT name on their windows and doors and want the same standard carried up top.
This page is for Tampa homeowners who own PGT products and need honest answers about shingle, tile, and metal roofing work. If your PGT windows are doing their job but your roof isn’t, call (386) 559-6999 and we’ll give you a straight read on what’s wrong and what it costs to fix.
How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Shingle roofing over PGT impact openings lifts at the eave line. When PGT impact windows and doors were installed, the flashing detail where the roofline meets the window header often got disturbed or never got re-sealed properly. We see this constantly in Tampa’s afternoon downpours, where wind-driven rain finds the gap and stains the drywall right below a PGT window. The fix is removing the first course of shingles, reinstalling the step flashing so it laps over the PGT frame, and sealing the transition with a polyurethane sealant that handles Florida heat without cracking.
- Tile roofing cracks around roof penetrations after a PGT retrofit. Tampa homes that added PGT impact products later in life often have cracked clay or concrete tile where old satellite dishes or solar mounts got removed. The tile gets stressed, hairline cracks form, and then a tropical storm turns a small crack into a leak. We pull the damaged tile, inspect the underlayment beneath, replace any rotted felt or synthetic underlayment, and re-set matching tile so the repair disappears.
- Metal roofing screws back out on standing seam and exposed fastener panels. Tampa’s heat and humidity cycles cause metal panels to expand and contract, and over time the fasteners lose their grip, especially on older PGT-era metal roof installations along Bayshore Boulevard and Davis Islands. Water finds the loosened screw holes, and homeowners get drips in the attic they can’t trace. We replace the failed fasteners with oversized, neoprene-washered screws, re-seat the panels, and check the entire roof plane for the same problem before it leaks.
- Underlayment failure on shingle roofs shows up first around PGT skylight curbs. PGT skylights and roof windows have aluminum curbs that expand and contract differently than the shingles around them. After a decade of Tampa sun, the membrane under the shingles near the curb dries out and cracks, and water travels along the roof deck until it finds a seam. Our techs remove the shingles around the curb, replace the deteriorated underlayment with a high-temp synthetic rated for Florida, and re-flash the curb before re-shingling.
- Tile roof valleys clog and overflow during hurricane season. Tampa’s oak trees drop leaves and acorns that pile up in tile roof valleys, and when PGT impact doors below are already sealed tight, the overflowing valley water has nowhere to go but through the roof deck. The valley metal underneath gets scratched and rusts, and the tiles shift. We clean the valley, replace the rusted valley metal, re-bed the tiles in mortar, and leave the homeowner with drainage that actually drains.
Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
- 1
You call (386) 559-6999. A live person answers, day or night. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, literally, and the person picking up that phone works for him. We ask what’s happening on the roof and set a time that works for you.
- 2
We inspect the roof and the PGT openings. Our techs are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know who’s at your door before the truck stops. We look at the roofing material, the flashing, the underlayment, and how the roof ties into your PGT windows, doors, and skylights.
- 3
We give you a written, line-item price. No vague estimates, no “we’ll see once we open it up” games. You’ll see exactly what we’re replacing, what parts we’re using, and what it costs. Seniors and veterans get their 10% discount applied right there.
- 4
We do the work with the right parts. When OEM materials make sense for warranties and fit, we use them. When a quality aftermarket part does the same job for less, we tell you and let you decide. No surprise substitutions.
- 5
We test before we leave. Shingle work gets checked for proper nail placement and flashing laps. Tile gets walked lightly to make sure nothing shifts. Metal gets inspected for fastener tightness. If it’s not right, we don’t leave.

Ed signs off on the job. Every PGT roofing job in Tampa gets reviewed before the truck pulls away. If something’s not done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. Simple as that.
What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Tampa
Here are the numbers Tampa homeowners actually ask about:
- Shingle repair around PGT flashing: $325-$650 depending on how many courses we pull and whether the underlayment needs replacing.
- Tile replacement and re-bedding: $450-$1,100 depending on how many tiles, whether the underlayment is shot, and whether we’re matching existing tile or working with what’s on site.
- Metal roof screw replacement and panel reseating: $275-$700 depending on the panel profile and how many fasteners are failing.
- Full valley replacement on a tile roof: $800-$1,900 for the valley metal, tile re-setting, and underlayment work.
What moves the price: roof pitch, single-story versus two-story, how much underlayment has to come up, and whether the PGT opening flashing needs to be reworked. We don’t pad the invoice, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Call (386) 559-6999 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge if you’re inside our home county.

We’ve been serving Tampa Bay since 2011, and Ed Winslow still answers for every job that leaves the shop.

FAQs
If your PGT warranty is still active, the smartest move is to ask us to check the specific language before work starts, because we won’t do anything that puts it in writing that your warranty is compromised. Most PGT warranties cover the window or door product itself, not the roofing around it, which means typical shingle, tile, and metal roofing repairs don’t affect the PGT product warranty at all. Call (386) 559-6999 and we’ll walk through what your particular PGT warranty says.
For common roofing repairs around PGT openings, we’re usually done in one visit. If a custom flashing, tile match, or metal panel has to be ordered, it’s typically a few days to a week before we’re back on the roof. We’ll tell you on the first visit what the timeline looks like.
Yes. We handle full roof replacement and installation in Tampa, and when PGT windows, doors, or skylights are already in place, we take extra care with the flashing and curb details so the roof and the PGT products work as one system. Call (386) 559-6999 for a free replacement estimate.
Most Tampa homeowners assume the PGT window is leaking when water shows up below it, but the roof flashing above the window is often the real culprit. We check the shingle-to-flashing lap, the sealant, and the underlayment before we touch the window. That diagnosis keeps you from paying for a window repair you don’t need.
Yes, always. If another Tampa roofer wrote you an estimate and you want a second set of eyes on it, bring it to us. We’ll go over it line by line and tell you what’s fair, what’s missing, and what we’d do differently. The second opinion is free.
