Why Birchbark Roofing Tampa Is Gibsonton’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve spent enough time on Gibsonton roofs to know what the salt air off Tampa Bay does to aluminum seams and flashing. That local pattern, corroded edges and pinhole leaks that show up after the first heavy thunderstorm of June, shows up here more than anywhere else in the Tampa area. Our crews have worked the older parks along US-41 and the ranch homes north of Gibsonton Drive, and we quote each job for what that specific roof actually needs, not what a generic calculator says. Erik Lindgren, who leads our team, insists on that. Every Gibsonton customer gets a written price before any work starts. No one climbs a ladder until you’ve seen the number in dollars.
We’re part of the Cedarwell family of roofing companies, a group of independent local businesses that’s been doing this since 2000. That means Gibsonton homeowners get the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit: shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, pet-safe products where there’s a choice, and a photo of the completed clean-up before the crew leaves. If the dog needs to stay inside while we’re working, we coordinate the door schedule with you. If your kids are home, we respect quiet hours. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair and replacement we perform. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s stamped on every job, including yours.
Styles & brands we work with






Roofing Contractor in Gibsonton
A roofing contractor in Gibsonton does more than nail shingles down. On a 1984 double-wide off Symmes Road, we removed a failed aluminum roof with corroded seams, replaced the rotted decking underneath, installed fresh underlayment and drip edge, re-secured the tie-downs, added a ridge vent, and laid architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds. That’s what a Gibsonton mobile home roof replacement actually involves. Most residential roof repairs in this scope run between $1,200 and $4,500; you’ll see your exact number in writing before we start.
We work with materials from Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, among others. For Gibsonton’s low-slope manufactured home roofs, we recommend ice and water shield under the shingles, because ponding water and humidity are real problems here. On site-built ranch homes, we match the existing slope and make sure the flashing around vents and chimneys is replaced, not just painted over.
Leak Repairs on Manufactured Homes
Corroded aluminum seams on older park models are the most common leak source we find along US-41. The salt air eats at the seams, then the afternoon thunderstorms pour through. We cut out the failed section, replace the flashing, and seal the seam so it can handle another decade of Gulf exposure.
Storm and Wind Mitigation Work
Florida’s hurricane codes changed the game for Gibsonton roofs. If your tie-downs are original to a 1980s home, they’re almost certainly undersized. We inspect them on every replacement and bring them up to current wind mitigation standards, so you’re not just getting a new roof, you’re getting one that meets code.
Roof Inspection in Gibsonton
A roof inspection in Gibsonton is the only way to know whether your roof can survive the next hurricane season. We walk the roof, check the seams on aluminum panels, test the decking for soft spots from years of afternoon thunderstorm leaks, and verify that tie-downs meet current Florida codes. A standard inspection runs between $150 and $350, and it’s free when you move forward with a repair or replacement. Erik Lindgren’s crews document everything with photos, so you see exactly what we see.
For homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s, we pay special attention to the original low-slope sections where ponding water leads to premature failure. Gibsonton’s older manufactured homes often hide decking rot under intact-looking metal roofs. The only way to catch it before a leak hits your kitchen ceiling is to get up there and look.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a home in Gibsonton? A pre-purchase roof inspection shows you what you’re inheriting before you sign. We check for wind damage, algae growth from the humidity, and whether the roof was ever brought up to current wind mitigation standards. This alone can save you five figures.
Post-Storm Damage Checks
After a tropical storm or hurricane passes through Hillsborough County, we walk roofs to document lifted shingles, broken sealant, and impact damage from debris. Whether you file an insurance claim or pay out of pocket, you’ll have a written report and photos.
Trusted Brands We Service in Gibsonton
We stock Atlas, Tamko, and Boral products for Gibsonton customers, which means faster turnaround on repairs and replacements. Atlas shingles with Scotchgard protect against the algae streaks that plague Gibsonton roofs in the humid summer months. Tamko’s architectural lines hold up well on the low-slope profiles common on manufactured homes. Boral’s tile options work for the handful of Mediterranean-style homes near Bullfrog Creek. When we quote a job, we tell you which material we recommend for your specific roof and why, in plain language, with the price next to it.
Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Gibsonton Homes
- Corroded aluminum seams on pre-2000 mobile homes. Salt air from the Gulf travels up US-41 and eats at unprotected seams. Pinhole leaks follow, usually during the worst afternoon thunderstorms of July and August.
- Rotted decking hidden under intact roofing. Years of slow leaks soften the OSB or plywood decking. When we remove the old roof, we often find spongy deck that must be replaced before new materials go down.
- Undersized or missing tie-downs. Homes built before the 2000s rarely meet current Florida wind mitigation codes. A roof that passes visual inspection can still lift off in a Category 2 because the frame wasn’t anchored properly.
- Low-slope ponding and premature shingle failure. Standard slope materials on a low-slope manufactured home roof trap water. Without ice and water shield, those shingles fail years early and the leaks start all over again.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Gibsonton
Yes. Hillsborough County requires a permit for roof replacement on manufactured homes, and it triggers wind mitigation and tie-down compliance upgrades if your home hasn’t been brought up to current Florida Building Code standards. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and include the code-required work in your written quote before we start. Call (850) 600-8577 for specifics on your home.
Yes, and we do it regularly. We remove the failed aluminum panels, replace any rotted decking, install new underlayment and drip edge, re-secure the tie-downs, add ventilation, and lay architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds. Most Gibsonton aluminum-to-shingle conversions run $7,500 to $13,000. Call (850) 600-8577 for an exact quote, free.
We write an allowance into your contract for potential decking replacement, so the surprise has a number attached before we lift a shingle. If we find rot beyond the allowance, we stop, show you photos, and give you a written change order to approve before we touch anything else. You never pay for work you didn’t agree to.
At minimum: upgraded tie-downs, a secondary water barrier like ice and water shield on low-slope sections, and architectural shingles rated for high wind. We also recommend ridge vents to lower attic temperatures in Gibsonton’s brutal summer heat. We’ll show you the cost of each item in writing before you decide.
We walk the roof, check aluminum seam integrity, probe decking for soft spots, and look for ponding areas where water sits after storms. For low-slope sections we also check the base flashing and any roof penetrations. The inspection is $150 to $350, credited toward any repair you approve. Call (850) 600-8577 to schedule one.
