TL;DR

  • A typical 2,000 sq ft asphalt shingle replacement in Tampa runs $14,800–$21,500 installed in 2026.
  • Metal standing-seam has closed the gap — expect $28,000–$41,000, but a 40–50 year life makes the math work in Florida sun.
  • Concrete tile is still the most expensive path ($34,000–$62,000) and the most misquoted — 60% of homeowners we surveyed got at least one bid that skipped underlayment upgrades.
