Shingle Replacement

Asphalt shingles dominate Jacksonville roofs for their versatility and cost-effectiveness, but humidity, intense UV rays, heavy rains, high winds, and tropical storms accelerate wear—causing curling, cracking, granule loss, lifting, or widespread damage.

When repairs are no longer sufficient, full shingle replacement provides renewed protection, better storm resistance, and a fresh appearance. We serve residential homes in Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Fleming Island, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Fernandina Beach, and communities within a 50-mile radius.

We focus exclusively on residential shingle replacement for single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums, using high-quality materials designed for Northeast Florida’s challenging coastal climate.

Service Advantages

Improved Storm and Wind Resistance

New shingles with enhanced wind ratings and proper installation better withstand hurricane-force gusts and driving rain common in our area.

Greater Energy Efficiency

Modern reflective shingles reduce heat absorption, helping keep attics cooler and potentially lowering AC costs during Jacksonville’s long hot season.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

A uniform new shingle roof instantly refreshes your home’s look, boosting street presence in neighborhoods from Riverside to Ponte Vedra.

Long-Term Durability and Peace of Mind

Quality materials and expert installation, backed by strong warranties, deliver reliable performance for decades.

Key Replacement Components

Roof Decking

Existing decking is evaluated and repaired or replaced to ensure a solid, code-compliant base.

Underlayment

High-performance synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield in vulnerable areas provide superior moisture protection.

Drip Edge and Flashing

New metal drip edges and flashing around penetrations create seamless water deflection.

Asphalt Shingles

Premium architectural or impact-resistant shingles are installed for durability and aesthetic appeal.

Starter Strips and Ridge Caps

Specialized starters and matching ridge shingles seal edges and peaks against wind uplift.

Ventilation System

Proper ridge vents and intake vents maintain airflow to prevent heat and moisture buildup.

Replacement Process Steps

Initial Consultation and Shingle Selection

We visit your home to assess the current roof condition, measure accurately, and discuss your preferences for color, style, wind rating, and impact resistance. We bring shingle samples and explain options that meet or exceed local building codes and potential insurance discount qualifications.

Permitting and Material Preparation

We handle all required permits with Duval, St. Johns, Clay, or Nassau County authorities. Materials are ordered with high-wind fastening components and scheduled for delivery to align perfectly with the project start date.

Site Protection Setup

Landscaping, windows, siding, patios, pools, and driveways are thoroughly covered with tarps, plywood, and protective barriers. Dumpsters are placed conveniently yet out of the way, and safety signage is posted to keep your family and pets secure.

Complete Old Shingle Tear-Off

All existing shingles, underlayment, and old flashing are removed down to the decking. Debris is controlled with tarps and loaded directly into dumpsters to minimize mess in your yard throughout the process.

Decking Repairs and Underlayment Installation

Decking is inspected for rot or damage common in humid climates; compromised boards are replaced. New synthetic underlayment is applied across the entire roof, with self-adhering ice-and-water shield installed at eaves, valleys, and around penetrations for maximum leak prevention.

New Shingle Application

Drip edges, starters, and valley flashing go on first. Shingles are then installed row by row using manufacturer-specified high-wind nailing patterns (often 6–8 nails per shingle in our zone). Each course is carefully aligned for straight lines and optimal sealing.

Final Detailing, Ventilation, and Cleanup

Ridge vents, ridge caps, and accessory flashing complete the system. Multiple magnetic sweeps collect stray nails, debris is removed, and the entire property is blown clean. We conduct a final quality inspection, then walk you through your new roof with before-and-after photos and warranty details.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is it time for full shingle replacement instead of more repairs?

If your roof shows widespread curling, cracking, bald spots, multiple leaks, or is over 20–25 years old, replacement is usually the wiser long-term investment. We’ll provide an honest evaluation with photos—no pressure either way!

How long does shingle replacement take on a typical Jacksonville home?

Most homes are completed in 3–5 days, weather permitting. Larger or steeper roofs may take slightly longer, but we work with a full crew and keep you updated daily so you always know the progress.

Will the project be noisy or leave my yard messy?

There will be noise during tear-off and nailing, but we work normal daytime hours and use extensive tarps plus daily cleanups. At the end, we perform thorough magnetic sweeps for nails—most customers say their yard looks great when we’re done!

What types of shingles do you recommend for our climate?

Architectural (dimensional) shingles are the top choice here—they’re thicker, offer higher wind ratings, and give a richer look. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles are also popular for potential insurance discounts. We’ll show you samples and explain the benefits for your specific home.

Can new shingles help lower my insurance premiums?

Yes, often significantly! Many Florida insurers provide discounts for wind-mitigation features and impact-resistant shingles. We’ll supply all documentation needed to help you claim those savings.

What warranties come with shingle replacement?

You receive full manufacturer warranties (typically 30–50 years or lifetime, depending on the product) plus our workmanship warranty. We register everything for you so coverage is active immediately.

Do you handle HOA approvals or permits?

Absolutely—we manage permits and can assist with HOA color/style submissions common in communities like Ponte Vedra or Fleming Island.

Do you serve homes throughout the greater Jacksonville area?

We’d be happy to! We provide shingle replacement for residential homes within 50 miles, including Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Fleming Island, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Fernandina Beach, and all surrounding communities.
