We often hear homeowners say they’re waiting for prices to come down before replacing their roof. Some think it’s a sales tactic when they hear “prices will rise soon so it’s best to buy now.” The harsh reality is that the average cost of a roof has gone up by 20-40% since 2020 and there is no indication that these prices will come down any time soon.
While inflation shoulders much of the blame, there are many other reasons behind these drastic price hikes.
Let’s break down some of the other costs associated with your roofing materials to understand why now might be the best time to replace your roof.
The Hytz Roofing Difference
Supply Chain Disruptions:Navigating shortages and shipping delays in the supply chain, compounded by rising fuel costs, contribute significantly to rising prices in our material.
Escalating Costs of Raw Materials:The ingredients we use in our products have also witnessed price hikes, further impacting the overall cost of a roof.
Economic Landscape:In our current economy, it is unlikely that prices will return to pre-pandemic levels any time soon. Reflecting on the price behaviour after the recession in 2009 serves as a pertinent example. Post-2009, recovery efforts spurred inflationary pressures as demand outpaced supply, resulting in higher costs for goods and services. A similar trend happened in the aftermath of the pandemic, driving up prices across many industries, including roofing.

As a GAF Master Elite certified roofing company, Hytz Roofing adheres to the highest standards, ensuring your Enviroshake installation meets or exceeds the stringent Florida Building Code requirements, especially vital during hurricane season.
Homeowners in Florida can also explore programs like My Safe Florida Home, which may offer incentives for upgrading to hurricane-resistant roofing systems like Enviroshake, further enhancing your investment.
Aesthetic Appeal and HOA Compliance
Do you reside in a Tampa Bay community governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA) or Property Owner Association (POA) that mandates cedar roofing? If you are looking for a more durable, long-lasting solution but worry about securing board approval, you aren't alone. Many Florida homeowners face the challenge of maintaining a specific look while dealing with the state's harsh climate.
Enter Enviroshake—the premier cedar replacement material available today.
Proposing a new material to an Architectural Review Board (ARB) can be daunting, as boards often fear deviating from established covenants. To help you navigate this process, Hytz Roofing has compiled the essential facts about Enviroshake to help you present a winning case to your board.
A Proven History in Composite Roofing
While synthetic materials might seem like a new trend, they have been a staple of the industry for over a quarter-century. Enviroshake has been manufacturing high-quality roofing since 1998. As a pioneer in the composite roofing sector, they have spent decades perfecting a product that mimics the natural beauty of wood while offering modern resilience.
Engineered for Florida’s Extreme Weather
For homeowners in the Tampa Bay area, weather resistance is non-negotiable. Enviroshake is specifically engineered to handle the unique challenges of the Florida climate.
Certified Wind and Impact Resistance
Enviroshake has undergone rigorous third-party testing to ensure it can stand up to tropical storms and hurricanes. It has passed the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) TAS 125 testing, confirming it can resist wind speeds reaching up to 180 MPH (290 km/h). Additionally, it carries a Class 4 Impact Rating (UL 2218)—the highest possible rating for hail and debris impact.
Fire Safety Standards
Safety is a primary concern for any HOA board. All Enviroshake products are available with a Class A fire rating (ASTM E108), providing peace of mind that traditional wood shakes simply cannot offer.
Longevity That Outperforms Natural Wood
One of the strongest arguments for Enviroshake is its lifespan. While a new-growth cedar roof in Florida might only last 10 to 20 years before succumbing to rot and humidity, Enviroshake is built for the long haul.
Accelerated weather testing suggests that these products have a life expectancy far exceeding their 50-year lifetime transferable warranty. With installations performing perfectly for over 25 years already, you can trust that this is a one-time investmen
Since 1998, Hytz Roofing's Enviroshake has pioneered premium premium roofing solutions for Tampa Bay with products crafted from 95% post-industrial recycled materials.

Could we make our products cheaper? Sure, but then they’d be just that - cheap.

- They wouldn't give you the performance and durability that natural products can't duplicate
- They wouldn't be sustainably produced
- They wouldn’t offer the traditional and authentic look of cedar and slate.
- They wouldn't meet the highest ratings in the roofing industry.
- They wouldn't be Enviroshake

In today’s market, uncertainty seems to be the only constant. With ongoing trade tensions, questions around supply chains, and fluctuating costs, it’s understandable that many Florida homeowners feel hesitant about making big investments.

But when it comes to your roof—the first line of defense for your home—delaying an upgrade can cost more in the long run.
Why Now Is Still the Right Time
In uncertain times, holding off on home improvements can seem like a cautious choice, but often it’s the opposite. Roofing issues don’t wait for the market to stabilize, and materials and labor costs continue to rise across the board. An unreliable material on your roof can leave you vulnerable to the aftermath of just one bad storm, leading to unexpected repair costs, severe property damage, or even physical harm.

Enviroshake is a long-term investment you can feel confident about. By choosing Enviroshake now, you're not just getting a premium roof—you’re locking in long-term value, reducing future maintenance costs, and increasing your home’s resale appeal with a product that’s made to last.
The Downsides of Downgrading
It may feel like a budget-friendly choice to go with an affordable option like an asphalt roof, but in reality, what you save upfront often comes back around in higher costs down the line.
A Relevant Section Heading 3
A Sub-Section Detail 3
Asphalt roofs typically last only 10–15 years, even under ideal conditions. That means you could be replacing your roof 2-4 times over the lifespan of a single Enviroshake roof. Add to that the cost of frequent maintenance, storm damage repairs, and the risk of leaks or mold from failing shingles, and that “affordable” roof starts looking a lot more expensive.
Asphalt roofing can also lower your home’s resale value and curb appeal, especially in premium neighborhoods where bu
