Bayonet Point, FL is the part of west Pasco where State Road 52 begins, right at US 19. It’s a census-designated place of about 5.7 square miles, not a city, and most homes here carry a Hudson mailing address with the 34667 ZIP code. About 26,700 people lived here at the 2020 census.
By the numbers it’s a settled, older community. The median age is about 50. HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital, which opened in 1981 and is now a 290-bed Level II trauma center, gives the area its best-known landmark, and SR 52 is the main road east toward the Suncoast Parkway and the rest of the county.
Census estimates count about 13,300 housing units. A big part of that is Beacon Woods, founded in 1971 on a 1,000-acre former dairy farm. Homes that date back that far are often on their second or third roof by now, and many owners are weighing the next one.
A Hudson Address, a County Permit
The mailing address says Hudson, but Bayonet Point isn’t a city and has no building department of its own. Like the rest of unincorporated Pasco, roof permits here come from Pasco County Building Construction Services, which uses a residential roofing permit package and its own Re-Roof Guidelines, filed through the county’s PascoGateway system.
Contractors have to be registered with the county to pull permits in unincorporated Pasco. We handle the Pasco County permit and inspections as part of the job, so you don’t have to learn the system for a once-in-twenty-years project.
Beacon Woods, Not Beacon Square
The names trip people up. Beacon Woods is the large community in Bayonet Point that started in 1971. Beacon Square is a separate, smaller subdivision farther south in Holiday. If you’re calling about a roof, telling us which one saves a round of confusion before we even schedule.
Both are county jurisdiction, so the permit office is the same. What differs is the house in front of us. We look at your home’s age, what’s already on the roof and how many layers might be under it, and we quote from that rather than from the name on the entrance sign.
What a Re-Roof Turns Up on Older Homes
On a roof that’s been replaced before, the surprises are usually under the shingles. Soft or delaminated decking near the eaves, rusted drip edge, tired pipe boots and flashing that was reused instead of replaced all show up once the old roof comes off.
We tell you up front how we price decking repairs, then show you photos of anything we replace. When the deck is sound, we install high-wind shingle roofs from Owens Corning or GAF with sealed underlayment and the manufacturer’s high-wind nailing pattern.
Coastal Storms, Inland Roof Damage
When Hurricane Helene came through in September 2024, the New Port Richey tide gauge recorded water 5.04 feet above normal high tide before the gauge failed, and the rest of the Pasco coast saw 2 to 5 feet. Gusts near New Port Richey reached about 56 mph. Surge is a waterfront problem, but wind like that reaches every roof in west Pasco.
Gusts in that range lift shingle tabs, loosen ridge caps and work at flashing that was already weak. The damage often doesn’t show from the driveway. Our storm and wind damage inspections cover the whole roof and come with photos you can hand to your insurer.
Planning a Roof Without Surprises
A lot of Bayonet Point owners have bought a roof before and know what they want: a straight answer, a clear price and a crew that cleans up. We give you an itemized estimate that lists materials, decking terms and permit costs, so there’s nothing to decode later.
If the timing is tight, roof financing can spread the cost out. And if your roof still has life in it, we’ll say so and quote a repair instead of a replacement.
Gutters and Fascia That Hold Up
On homes from the 1970s and 1980s, the fascia boards are often original or patched. Once they soften, gutters pull away and water runs behind them into the soffit. Summer downpours make the problem obvious fast.
We replace rotted fascia, hang seamless aluminum gutters sized for the roof and add guards where trees drop leaves. See our gutter, soffit and fascia work for details.
When the Roof Can’t Wait
A tree limb through the roof or a section of shingles gone after a squall is not a problem to schedule for next week. Our emergency roof repair crew provides same-day dry-in to seal the opening and keep rain out of the ceilings, insulation and wiring below.
Once the house is protected, we come back to inspect the whole roof, photograph what we find for your insurance claim and write up the permanent repair as an itemized estimate. If the damage tips the roof into replacement, we’ll show you why rather than just telling you.
