Serving One of Tampa's Most Historic Neighborhoods
Progress Village is not a subdivision that popped up last decade. Platted in 1960 south of Palm River, it was one of the Tampa area's first planned communities built for Black homeowners, and many of the original concrete-block houses along its numbered streets are still owned by the families who bought them new. Sixty-plus years of Hillsborough County sun, humidity, and hurricane seasons is a long service life for any exterior, and that is where Alpine Exteriors comes in: we renew roofs, walls, and windows on mid-century block homes while respecting what makes this neighborhood what it is.
The location brings its own exposure. Progress Village sits between US 301 and the Selmon Expressway, on flat land where summer thunderstorms roll through almost daily from June to September. Original 1960s roofs were framed and decked to standards long since superseded, and the aluminum awning windows common at construction leak both air and noise. Bringing these homes up to current wind-zone performance is the most valuable exterior investment an owner here can make.
