Fred Godfrey | Handyman & Roofing in Tampa, FL 33612

In Tampa, high winds and storms can loosen or break the shingles along your roof's peak, known as the ridge cap. Common signs include visible cracks or missing shingles on the ridge, granules collecting in your gutters from that area, and interior leaks near the top of your ceilings. A timely inspection and repair from a local expert like Fred Godfrey can prevent widespread water damage.

Tampa's combination of salt air, high humidity, and frequent rain accelerates the corrosion of metal flashings around chimneys, vents, and valleys. We address this by removing the corroded material, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, waterproof compounds. For coastal homes, we can recommend and install more corrosion-resistant materials for longer-lasting protection.

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, Fred Godfrey's team can manage the entire project. We start by securing and repairing the roof to stop the water intrusion. Then, we coordinate any necessary interior repairs, such as drywall replacement, insulation drying, and repainting. This single-point-of-contact service saves Tampa homeowners time and ensures a seamless, high-quality repair from the roof down.
