Andre Pamplona, The Roofing Cowboy from GenX Roofing, sits down with Donnie to talk about the one home expense nobody plans for. From real per-square costs to the 15-year insurance rule to the ventilation problem quietly cooking roofs from the inside, this is the roof conversation every Tampa Bay homeowner should hear before it becomes an emergency. 

What You’ll Learn 

  • Why a roof replacement should never be a surprise, and the three reasons you actually replace one
  • What shingle, metal, tile, and synthetic roofs really cost per square
  • Why Florida shingles don’t last as long as the ones up north
  • The ventilation math most roofers skip, and why it matters more than the weather
  • How Andre and his wife went from “no more kids” to fostering and adopting
