One City, a Dozen Kinds of Houses
Tampa does not have a single housing stock — it has layers. Craftsman bungalows in Seminole Heights and casitas around Ybor City date to the 1920s; South Tampa and Carrollwood filled with concrete-block ranches through the 1950s to 70s; Town 'N' Country and Temple Terrace added their own mid-century waves; and everything from Westchase outward arrived stucco-clad in the 1990s and 2000s. Each era fails differently. Bungalow siding rots at the sill line; block ranches sweat through original single-pane windows; newer stucco cracks and lets Florida's daily summer downpours reach the frame beneath.
Alpine Exteriors remodels the whole envelope — roofing, siding, and window replacement — and matches the fix to the era of the house rather than running one playbook everywhere. That is the difference 25 years in business makes: we have opened up enough Tampa walls to know what each decade of construction hides.
