Kevin showed up within 15 minutes. Found the problem and fixed. Did not try to sell me anything I didn't need. Pitch is now my go to for repairs and I will certainly recommend this company to anyone who needs roofing.

The work was done quickly and professionally. The roof looks amazing. They also completed a project to reduce the heat transfer of my lanai aluminum roof. The price was reasonable and the salesperson, Kevin, extremely responsive and helpful.

I did extensive research on pricing; quality of materials within a comparable scope of work. I contacted and directly communicated with at least five other roofing companies for the replacement of my residential roof and PITCH had the best price; highest quality materials and best warranty when compared with all the other competitors within a comparable scope of work. Their staff is responsive and kind. Ron Olsen, the CEO, followed through with everything promised. Go with Pitch Roofing. MC aka WA

I had a wonderful experience with Pitch Roofing. Ron, Caitlin, and Kevin were caring, attentive and professional. They went above and beyond to ensure a timely delivery of the new roof. The roof looks beautiful and I received several compliments from my neighbors. A special thank you to Kevin, my sales manager, for his dedication and attention to detail. Thank you, Pitch Roofing!

Pitch Roofing did an outstanding job on my roof! Owner Ron was fantastic — super helpful, honest, and walked me through everything clearly every time I talked to him. Caitlin was great with updating keeping in touch and always friendly and responsive, and she even sent me pictures of all the work they completed. The crew was professional, the work was excellent, and the price was honestly the best around. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Pitch Roofing!

I've had three roofs done in my lifetime. This one was the nicest of the three. No issues at all. The county inspector was impressed with the work. They put down tarps around the house and over the pool. Left my yard cleaner than it was when they arrived. Highly recommend.

PITCH Roofing did an amazingly great job of replacing my old roof. In the initial phase they discussed options and presented material samples, and once I made a decision they organized and scheduled the tasks needed to complete this complex project. Painters were brought in to paint the high places (a cupola and tall chimney) needing coverage prior to the installation of a new roof. Next a solar team removed the existing solar panels. The roofing team then removed the old roof and installed a beautiful and sturdy 24-gauge Galvalume standing seam metal roof, along with a solar-powered attic fan. Finally, the solar panels were reinstalled and reactivated. The final product is an exceptional combination of high-quality materials and workmanship at a very competitive price. I'm so very happy with the work that PITCH Roofing has done!

Why Asphalt Shingles Are Ideal for Clearwater Homes

1. Weather Resistance
Florida’s climate is unique: intense sun, sudden downpours, and occasional storms. Asphalt shingles are engineered to withstand UV exposure, heavy rains, and gusty winds—when properly installed, they provide a watertight seal that lasts for decades.

2. Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to higher-end roofing materials, asphalt shingles offer a balanced blend of affordability and performance. You get reliable protection and attractive curb appeal without an overwhelming upfront investment.

3. Design Versatility
Whether you prefer classic three-tab shingles or architectural (laminate) shingles with defined ridges and dimensional depth, there’s a style to complement every home. Shingle color palettes range from neutral grays to warm browns and bold blends that accentuate your home’s exterior.

4. Energy Efficiency
Many modern shingles feature reflective granules that bounce sunlight away from your roof deck, reducing attic temperatures and helping lower cooling costs during Clearwater’s hot summers.

Why are shingle roofs so popular?

Shingles are generally popular because of their durability and affordability. Architectural shingles, especially, are popular in Florida as a low-cost option for roof replacements.

a

What’s the best color for a shingle roof?

Shingle roofs come in many colors, so you will definitely find something that suits your preferences. Earth tones are traditional colors for shingles, but light-colored shingles can help keep your roof cool in the hot summer months.

a

What maintenance do shingle roofs need?

In Florida, maintenance is an especially important part of keeping your shingle roof healthy. Routine maintenance includes cleaning gutters, cleaning off any algae or mold that starts to develop, and replacing any shingles that are damaged or removed by the elements.

a

How long do shingle roofs last in Florida?

How long your shingle roof lasts in Florida depends on the type of shingle you choose. Architectural shingles last for up to 25 years, luxury shingles up to 40 years, and composite shingles can keep functioning for up to 50 years.

a

Can I install a shingle roof myself?

DIY shingle roof replacement can seem like a good way to save money. But the truth is that roofing systems are just too complex to be handled by anyone other than professionals. And since a poor shingle roof installation could lead to major issues with permitting and your homeowner’s insurance, we strongly encourage leaving roof replacements to trustworthy local roofers.

The Shingle Roof Installation Process

At PITCH Roofing, we follow a proven, multi-step approach to ensure your new shingle roof delivers lasting performance and outstanding aesthetics.

1. Pre-Installation Inspection & Planning

  • Roof Assessment: We evaluate your existing roof deck for rot or damage. Any compromised plywood is replaced to meet Florida building codes.

  • Permit Acquisition: Our team handles all permitting with Clearwater and Pinellas County to ensure full compliance.

  • Material Selection: You choose from top-quality shingles—three-tab, architectural, or designer lines—plus underlayments, flashing, and ventilation options.

2. Deck Preparation

  • Safe Tear-Off: We carefully remove old shingles, underlayment, and flashing.

  • Deck Repair & Re-Nailing: Any exposed wood is inspected; rotten boards are replaced. We re-nail per code specifications to provide a solid foundation.

3. Underlayment & Weatherproofing

  • Synthetic Underlayment: A layer of premium synthetic underlayment goes down to repel moisture, even if granules wear away over time.

  • Ice & Water Shield: We install peel-and-stick in valleys and around roof penetrations to prevent leaks where they most often occur.

  • Drip Edge & Flashing: Metal drip edge secures roof edges, while step and continuous flashings seal chimneys, vents, and skylights.

4. Shingle Installation

  • Starter Strips: Proper alignment begins with self-adhesive starter strips at the eaves.

  • Main Field Shingles: Each row is methodically laid with precise nail placement to resist wind uplift.

  • Hip & Ridge Caps: We finish with premium hip and ridge shingles for a seamless, professional look.

5. Ventilation & Cleanup

  • Ridge Vents & Soffit Intake: Balanced attic ventilation prevents heat buildup and moisture trapping.

  • Quality-Control Sweep: We perform multi-point nail and debris sweeps to leave your property immaculate.

  • Final Inspection: A thorough walkthrough ensures everything meets PITCH Roofing’s exacting standards.
