Roofing Contractor in Hillsborough County, FL
SCM Roofing serves Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Lutz, Plant City, and communities across Hillsborough County. Shingle, tile, metal, and commercial roofing — installation, repair, and inspections.
Hillsborough County is the most populated county we serve, and the roofing work here is as varied as the county itself. You've got 1960s-era concrete block homes in Town 'n' Country and Egypt Lake that still have their original shingle roofs. You've got the massive suburban boom in Riverview and Fishhawk where entire neighborhoods went up in the last 15 years. You've got historic homes in Tampa's Hyde Park and Seminole Heights. And you've got commercial properties along every major corridor from Dale Mabry to US-301.
Each of those situations is a different roofing conversation — different materials, different age, different condition, different budget. We handle all of it.
We've been working across Hillsborough County for years. We know the permitting process, we know the building department inspectors, and we know which neighborhoods are hitting the re-roof window right now because we've watched the housing stock age in real time. If your home was built or last re-roofed between 2000 and 2010, your shingle roof is in the zone where it either needs attention now or will within the next few years.
Communities We Serve in Hillsborough County
Tampa
Tampa is where we do the most work in Hillsborough County, and the roofing needs span the full range. South Tampa has older homes — many from the 1920s through the 1960s — with a mix of shingle, tile, and flat roofs on historic and mid-century structures. These homes often need careful work that respects the original architecture while bringing the roof up to current wind code.
North Tampa and New Tampa are newer — most of the housing stock is from the 1990s through today, predominantly shingle roofs that are either approaching or past their first replacement cycle. We do a high volume of shingle re-roofs in these areas.
On the commercial side, Tampa's corridors along Dale Mabry, Kennedy, and Hillsborough Avenue have flat-roof retail, office, and restaurant buildings that need TPO, modified bitumen, or metal roofing — and regular maintenance to keep up with Florida's storm cycle.
Common needs: Shingle re-roof (North/New Tampa), historic home roofing (South Tampa), commercial flat roof maintenance, storm damage repair
Brandon & Riverview
Brandon and Riverview are Hillsborough's biggest suburbs and they're growing fast — Riverview especially. Brandon's housing stock is mostly 1980s through 2000s construction, which means a lot of shingle roofs that are now 20–30 years old and due for replacement. We do more shingle re-roofs in Brandon than almost anywhere else in the county.
Riverview's growth has been explosive over the last 15 years. The newer communities (post-2010) are still on their original roofs and doing fine. The earlier Riverview developments from 2000–2010 are starting to show their age — curling shingles, faded granules, and the occasional leak that signals the roof is entering its final years.
Both areas are predominantly shingle with some tile in the newer upscale developments. Commercial roofing along US-301 and Bloomingdale Avenue is a growing segment as well.
Common needs: Shingle replacement (aging 20-30 year roofs), new construction roofing, storm damage repair, roof inspections for home sales
Fishhawk & Bloomingdale
Fishhawk is one of the most well-planned communities in Hillsborough County — it was the first certified green new-home community in the county. The homes are predominantly from the 2000s and 2010s with a mix of architectural shingles and some tile. The community's HOA has specific architectural standards, and we work within those specs on every job.
Bloomingdale is slightly older, with housing mostly from the 1980s and 1990s. Many of these homes are on their second roof and approaching time for a third. The neighborhood's mature tree canopy is beautiful but creates a specific roofing concern: debris accumulation in valleys and gutters, and shade that promotes algae and moss growth on shingles.
Common needs: HOA-compliant re-roofs (Fishhawk), aging shingle replacement (Bloomingdale), algae-resistant shingle upgrades, gutter maintenance
Lutz, Westchase & Keystone
These northwest Hillsborough communities share a similar roofing profile: established residential neighborhoods with a mix of shingle and tile homes, many built in the 1990s and 2000s. Westchase in particular has a strong HOA presence with architectural review requirements.
Lutz straddles the Hillsborough-Pasco county line, and the homes on the Hillsborough side tend to be slightly larger lots with more tree coverage. That means more debris on roofs, more branch-strike risk during storms, and more shade-related wear.
Keystone is more rural, with larger properties and a mix of residential styles including some metal roofing. The area around Keystone Lake tends to see more humidity-related issues — moisture under tiles, attic ventilation problems — than the drier, more suburban neighborhoods to the east.
Common needs: Shingle and tile re-roofs, HOA-compliant work (Westchase), tree debris and storm damage, ventilation improvements (Keystone)
Apollo Beach, Ruskin & Sun City Center
These southern Hillsborough communities sit along the coast and share waterfront or near-waterfront conditions. Apollo Beach is a canal community with direct Tampa Bay access — the homes here deal with salt air, humidity, and wind exposure similar to what we see in coastal Charlotte and Lee counties.
Ruskin has a mix of older agricultural-area homes and newer development. The older homes often have original roofs that are well past replacement age.
Sun City Center is an age-restricted retirement community with over 30,000 residents. The housing is mostly single-story with shingle roofs, and the demographic means many homeowners are on fixed incomes and want honest guidance on whether a repair or replacement makes more sense financially. We give them straight answers.
Common needs: Coastal-rated materials (Apollo Beach), aging roof replacement (Ruskin), budget-conscious re-roofs and repairs (Sun City Center), wind mitigation inspections
Plant City, Temple Terrace & Thonotosassa
The eastern side of Hillsborough County has a different character — more rural, more space, and a wider range of property types. Plant City has a mix of historic downtown buildings, established neighborhoods, and agricultural properties. The older commercial buildings in Plant City's downtown often have flat roofs that need maintenance or replacement.
Temple Terrace is a smaller city with Mediterranean-Revival architecture dating to the 1920s and a mix of mid-century and newer homes. The historic homes here sometimes need tile or metal roofing that matches the original architectural style.
Thonotosassa is the most rural area we serve in Hillsborough — larger lots, more metal roofing (both residential and agricultural), and homes that are spread out rather than packed into subdivisions.
Common needs: Historic and architectural roofing (Temple Terrace), commercial flat roof work (Plant City), metal roofing (Thonotosassa), general shingle replacement across all three areas
We serve all areas of Hillsborough County including: Apollo Beach, Bloomingdale, Brandon, Egypt Lake-Leto, Fishhawk, Keystone, Lutz, Plant City, Riverview, Ruskin, Sun City Center, Tampa, Temple Terrace, Thonotosassa, Town 'n' Country, and Westchase.
