Carapezza Construction Co. is a GAF Certified roofing company and has licenses in the State of Florida for both building and roofing. While we are well-versed in and regularly provide new home constructions, renovations, additions, new roofs, remodels, commercial build-outs, reroofs, roofing repairs and more, it is with our historical renovations that we are able to truly shine.
Family owned and operated, Carapezza Construction Co. has been providing outstanding construction and roofing services to home and business owners throughout the greater Tampa Bay area for more than 35 years. With decades of industry experience, we have restored building across a broad range of historical time periods, and we have the knowledge and attention to detail to restore nearly any property.
Whether your property is a 1950’s commercial space or a 1970’s residential homestead, our team can help. With an on-site design architect, we are able to recreate nearly any design aesthetic, and our construction team has the experience and skill to provide only the highest quality craftsmanship.
Historical renovations are unlike other construction projects, because they require a strict adherence to current building laws yet also require the replication of features that are no longer commonly available. We can ensure your building is up-to-date with current building codes, without sacrificing the personality of the space.
We also pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to excellence and unmatched customer service and will keep you fully informed every step of the way. Owner Jimmy Carapezza personally oversees each and every historical renovation and will ensure that the entire team is on track to complete your project on time and within budget.
It takes a special company to fully appreciate the significance of historical properties, and we understand just how important it is to get it right. We will work closely with you to ensure that we exceed your expectations every step of the way. Property renovations and restorations don’t have to be stressful. In fact, historical renovations can be made simple with the Carapezza family by your side.
Historic roofing services
Historic Roof Replacement
The 1920s bungalows near McCall Park and Union Station, the farmhouses out toward Cork and Trapnell, and the brick buildings along the historic core all have roofs most modern crews have never worked on. Our historic roof replacement page explains why an old roof is a different job: hand-cut rafters, board decking, steep pitches, dormers, and century-old chimneys. It covers matching original materials and profiles, handling decking surprises, and historic review permitting in Plant City. Read it if you own an older home and want a roof that fits its age and meets today's Florida Building Code.
Slate Roof Repair and Restoration
Slate roofs are genuinely rare around Plant City, and the ones that exist tend to sit on older, well-built properties near the historic downtown or are synthetic slate installed for the look. Our slate roof page gives the honest picture: the stone itself does not wear out, but the fasteners and flashing holding it on do, so most slate problems are not slate problems at all. It explains how slate roofs actually fail, what restoration involves, and when replacement beats repair. Visit it before anyone tells you your slate roof is finished.
