Baseline: asphalt/architectural shingles, tear-off and install included. Tampa figures converted from Angi project averages ($9,056-$18,057 on 1,700-2,000 sq ft roofs). Miami runs the high end: Miami-Dade/Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) codes require wind-rated assemblies up to 175 mph, and Build-Folio puts Miami asphalt near $5.25/sq ft with architectural shingle jobs of $14,000-$26,000. Florida's property insurance crisis continues to drive roof replacement demand and pricing statewide. High tier reflects premium architectural shingle under HVHZ wind specs, not metal or tile.
