- Over 300 Five Star Google Reviews, and A+ Rated BBB
- Headquartered in Hudson, FL since 2004 — over 20 years serving Pasco County
- Quality roof replacements, repairs, and storm damage service
Hudson sits in one of Florida’s most demanding roofing climates. Pasco County homes face high-intensity UV exposure, summer humidity, sudden heavy downpours, named tropical storms, and direct hurricane risk — all within a few miles of the Gulf, where salt air accelerates wear on standard roofing components. Coastal Hudson neighborhoods like Sea Pines, Cape Cay, and Hudson Beach see this even more intensely than inland areas. That’s why we install systems built for Gulf-coast conditions, not generic shingles meant for milder climates.
A roof built for Hudson needs hurricane-rated shingles, code-compliant fastening, properly engineered attic ventilation, and a complete system of underlayment, flashing, and ridge components that work together. At 1st Choice Roofing, we install full roofing systems — not just shingles — every time.
- Hurricane wind zones. Pasco County roofs must meet Florida Building Code wind-uplift standards.
- Tree canopy damage. Mature oaks and pines around Hudson drop heavy limbs in storms.
- Salt air corrosion. Proximity to the Gulf accelerates metal flashing and fastener wear.
- Intense UV and heat. Underrated shingles fail early in Florida sun.
- Hidden decking rot. Years of humidity often reveal damage only at tear-off.
An Owens Corning Preferred Contractor Serving Hudson
1st Choice Roofing chose Owens Corning as our primary roofing system manufacturer because Owens Corning roofing is engineered for the kind of weather Hudson homes actually face.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we have been vetted, trained, and certified by the manufacturer. That status means our crews are factory-trained on Owens Corning installation methods, we maintain financial stability and a clean business record, and — most importantly for you — we can offer enhanced Owens Corning warranty coverage that standard contractors cannot.
What Owens Corning Preferred Status Means for Hudson Homeowners
- Extended warranty options on both materials and workmanship, beyond what standard contractors can provide.
- Total Protection Roofing System® — when installed as a complete system, your entire roof is covered, not just the shingles.
- Factory-trained installation. Ongoing Owens Corning training keeps our crews current on the latest installation methods and code updates.
- Verified business standing. Owens Corning requires Preferred Contractors to maintain proper licensing, insurance, BBB standing, and a clean financial record.
- Hurricane-rated shingles. Owens Corning Duration Series shingles with SureNail® Technology are rated for 130 mph wind resistance — engineered for Florida’s hurricane zones.
We are also a certified GAF Weather Stopper Contractor, so homeowners who prefer GAF Timberline HDZ or other GAF systems can have those installed by the same factory-certified crew.
Our Hudson Roofing Services
Roof Replacement in Hudson
Complete tear-off and new installation using Owens Corning roofing systems (or GAF on request). We replace decking as needed, install new underlayment and drip edge, upgrade attic ventilation, and finish with hurricane-rated shingles installed to Florida Building Code. Most replacements complete in one to three working days.
Roof Repair
From a single missing shingle to a persistent leak no other roofer could find, we repair Hudson roofs of every age and material. We diagnose the actual source — not the symptom — and stand behind our repairs in writing.
Hurricane Roof Preparation
Pre-season inspections, reinforcement of vulnerable areas, sealing, and code-upgrade recommendations to harden your Hudson roof against tropical systems. We have helped homes across Pasco County prepare for and recover from every hurricane that has hit this market in the last 20 years.
Roof Inspections
Free, no-obligation inspections for Hudson homeowners. Whether you are buying, selling, filing a claim, or just want to know where your roof stands, we provide detailed written reports and photos.
Storm Damage & Insurance Claim Support
Storm damage in Hudson is common — and so are denied or underpaid claims. We document damage thoroughly, provide the photographs and reports insurers require, and have walked hundreds of Pasco County homeowners through the claims process. We are not public adjusters, but we know how to make sure damage is properly recognized.
Gutters, Soffit & Fascia
The components around your roof matter as much as the shingles. We repair and replace gutters, soffit, and fascia to keep water away from your home’s structure and prevent the rot that destroys roofs from the inside out.
Hudson Neighborhoods We Serve
1st Choice Roofing has installed and repaired roofs across nearly every Hudson community. Some of the neighborhoods where we work most often:
- Sea Pines
- Beacon Woods
- Heritage Pines
- Cape Cay
- Hudson Beach

- Hudson Oaks
- Sun West Estates
- Verandah

Pasco County Permitting & Florida Building Code
Every roof replacement in Hudson requires a permit from the Pasco County Building Division. The permit verifies the work meets Florida Building Code requirements for wind resistance, fastening, underlayment, and ventilation — the standards that keep your home safe in hurricane season.
As a licensed Florida Certified Building Contractor (CBC1327354) and Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC1327354), 1st Choice Roofing pulls the permit, schedules the inspections, and handles the entire compliance process so you don’t have to. Every roof we install is inspected at the required stages and finalized by Pasco County before we close the job.
What Hudson Homeowners Say
“We needed a roof replacement and had two other quotes. We decided to go with 1st Choice Roofing. It was a GREAT CHOICE! Ken is very professional and knowledgeable. No pressure sale. We picked our color, crew showed up a few days later. Very efficient and professional. Dan was also good to work with — Dan was informing us all along as to what was going on with the roof replacement. Great guy. Crew kept yard clean, all debris was hauled away. We highly recommend 1st Choice Roofing.”
— Robert Mather, Hudson homeowner
“Extremely professional, met all promised timelines, very neat and tidy. The crew was fast, friendly and cleaned up after they finished. Started at 7:30 am and finished by 4pm. I was impressed with the sweep they did with the magnet to make sure no metal or nails were left in the yard. Beautiful finished product!”
— Jacqueline Haley, Hudson homeowner
“What a great experience. The crew was amazing, the super was fantastic, and the salesman aka ‘the bald guy’ sold me a bunch of promises and delivered on everything.”
— Sonny Bohm, Hudson homeowner
“Top quality roofing company and a crew that are skilled experts. They were meticulous and thorough with the repairs that had to be made. The roof looks amazing too!”

Hudson Roofing FAQs
How much does a roof replacement cost in Hudson, FL?
In Hudson, a typical asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home generally falls between $12,000 and $22,000, depending on roof pitch, decking condition, shingle line, and any code-required upgrades like hurricane straps or new underlayment. Tile and metal roofing run higher. The most accurate way to know your number is a free on-site assessment.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Pasco County?
Yes. The Pasco County Building Division requires a permit for any roof replacement or major repair in Hudson. As a licensed Florida contractor (CBC1327354 / CCC1327354), we handle the entire permitting and inspection process for you.
What is the best roofing material for Hudson homes?
For most Hudson, an architectural asphalt shingle from Owens Corning — such as the Duration Series with SureNail Technology — offers the best balance of hurricane wind resistance, heat performance, longevity, and value. Tile and metal are excellent premium options.
What does Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status mean?
It means we have been vetted, trained, and certified by Owens Corning. As a Preferred Contractor, we can offer enhanced Owens Corning warranty coverage that standard contractors cannot, and we receive ongoing factory training on installation methods and code updates.
How long does a roof replacement take in Hudson?
Most single-family residential roof replacements in Hudson take one to three working days once materials are on site and the permit is issued. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer.
Will my homeowners insurance cover a roof replacement after a hurricane?
If your roof was damaged by hurricane winds, hail, or fallen debris, your Florida homeowners policy may cover all or part of the replacement, less your deductible. We document storm damage thoroughly and provide the reports your insurance carrier needs.
How do I know if my Hudson roof needs replacement or just repair?
Common signs your roof needs attention include visible leaks, missing or curling shingles, granules in gutters, daylight in the attic, or a roof more than 18–20 years old. A free 1st Choice Roofing inspection will tell you exactly where you stand.
What hurricane wind rating do you install for Hudson homes?
All our shingle systems meet or exceed Florida Building Code wind-resistance requirements for Pasco County. Owens Corning Duration Series shingles installed as part of the Total Protection Roofing System are rated for 130 mph wind resistance.
Do you serve Sea Pines, Beacon Woods, and other Hudson neighborhoods?
Yes. 1st Choice Roofing has installed and repaired roofs in nearly every Hudson neighborhood, including Sea Pines, Beacon Woods, Heritage Pines, Cape Cay, Hudson Beach, Forest Lake Estates, Hudson Hills, and Sun West Estates. We’re headquartered right here in Hudson, so our trucks are in these communities every week.
Do you offer financing for roof replacements?
Yes. We partner with several roofing-specific finance companies that offer competitive rates, no-money-down options, and same-day approvals. Ask us during your free estimate.
Are 1st Choice Roofing’s employees background-checked?
Yes. Every employee is drug-tested and background-checked before working on your home — rare in the roofing industry and one of the reasons Hudson homeowners trust us with their largest home investment.

Posted on Erin Y'all. I can't gush about these gentlemen enough! They took so much time and care on our home!! They fixed eeeeeeeverything, even if it wasn't necessarily part of the contract. They did the right thing, every single time. They were VERY conscientious about the shrapnel strewn about the yeard!! They had tarps up to catch the fallout and were just wonderful when I asked what to do when I had to take my dog out. The gentleman came to the door with me and folded the debris in the tarp so that we could go out. In total, they were here less than a full working day. They are the masters of their craft! The only thing that held them back was the permit approval and that has no reflection on them. This doesn't mean that they fly through jobs to get done quickly, again, they are MASTERS of their craft. We invited them in for lunch before they left and it was just wonderful. If you don't feed and/or tip the person that is roofing your home, you're doing it wrong. Think about it. It's the roof over your head. I don't believe that any form of appreciation would influence their work but dang, it sure does feel nice to be appreciated. I RARELY give 5* reviews, but this company deserves it.Posted on Benjamin E They did an amazing job. Danny, Michael, Ryan, Tom, and Courtney were fantastic with timely communication and the roof looks great!Posted on Cheryl Stone I've used 1st choice before for repairs but now, I've just had a new roof put on. I highly recommend them. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Very professional. Roof looks great. Courtney in the office is great to work with. She makes everything easy and she is very accommodating. She even forwarded all documents to my insurance company. I would definitely use this company again, if need be.Posted on Derek O First Choice Roofing has provided an excellent experience. They are professional and deliver high-quality work. The customer service is outstanding, and their workers are both precise and clean. I received a quality roof along with quality service. Do not hesitate to hire this company to install your roof. Thank you!Posted on Preston Robinson The roof needed to be repaired after strong winds. First Choice Roofing fixed my shingle roof and leaky flat roof quickly. They inspected everything and gave great maintenance guidance. They are complete professionals with 20 years of experience in both residential and commercial roofing, and they are licensed in Florida!Posted on J Koz Highly professional operation. Extremely hard working crew No question, everyone knew what they were doing. Danny explained all the steps involved. Courtney fielded numerous phone calls from my wife and I and was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to converse with! We felt comfortable with them right from the git-go! Location: Sterling HillPosted on L Kay My elderly parents had their roof replaced three years ago by a "reputable" local company. There was a persistent roof leak a few months after, and the company could not find the source, so pushed the blame off and basically washed their hands of it despite their warranty. Danny went over and found the source of the roof leak and had it fixed in under 30 minutes. So far no more leak even with the last several weeks of hard rain and wind. We are so thankful and my parents finally feel confident in getting their ceiling repaired and doing some work inside, now that they know the leak is taken care of. 1st Choice Roofing is definitely the best roof leak repair company in Spring Hill and Tampa Bay.Posted on Stuie-not Stewie Did a great job. Everything worked out perfectly and they were quick.Posted on David Feeney Great experience and very happy with the final result. Pricing was not the lowest but the product quality and service was top notch! Courtney and Ryan were awesome to work with and the work crew did a fantastic job from prep to clean up. Five Stars!Posted on Daniel ventrola What a great experience with this company. Danny’s crew came out and did a great job. Professional, courteous, and very clean after the job was done. Showed me rotted spots and replaced everything like it wasn’t there. Highly recommend this company, the house looks great. Thank you so much guys!
