Temple Terrace
A city founded on an orange grove
Temple Terrace was founded in 1920 on terraced land beside the Hillsborough River and incorporated on May 28, 1925. It is named for the Temple orange, a tangor hybrid, and the company behind it, Temple Terraces, Inc., ran groves that were called the largest orange grove in the world in the 1920s. Its first phase, designed by M. Leo Elliott in 1921, used the Mediterranean Revival style, and its golf and country club hosted the Florida Open in 1925 and 1926.
It is one of only three incorporated places in Hillsborough County, about 8.1 miles from Tampa's center. The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey counts 12,079 housing units with a median build year of 1982. About 22 percent date from before 1970, 22 percent from the 1970s and 29 percent from the 1980s, and half are owner-occupied.
The city therefore holds both the early Mediterranean-style houses and a large run of 1970s and 1980s suburban homes, so tile and shingle both show up.

Questions
What Temple Terrace owners ask us
Do I deal with the city or the county for my permit?
Properties inside Temple Terrace's city limits go through the city, and nearby unincorporated addresses go through Hillsborough County. We confirm the right office for your address.
Can you repair an older tile roof?
Yes. We look at the tile and at the underlayment beneath it, replace cracked or slipped pieces and renew the waterproofing layer wherever it has failed with age.
Do you work in historic-style neighborhoods with design rules?
Share any association or design requirements with us before the estimate, and we will propose materials and colors that fit within them and are likely to be approved.
How do I know whether my roof is tile or concrete?
We identify it at the inspection. Clay and concrete tile look alike from the ground, and the material affects both the repair choices and the weight the deck has to carry.
