New construction or full roof replacement in Jacksonville requires a system that withstands humidity, intense sun, heavy thunderstorms, high winds, and hurricane risks. Proper installation ensures long-term protection, energy efficiency, and enhanced aesthetics.
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 specialize exclusively in residential roof installation for single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums, delivering precise workmanship with materials proven in Northeast Florida’s coastal climate.
Service Advantages
Enhanced Storm Resistance
Modern materials and proper techniques provide superior defense against high winds, driving rain, and debris impacts common during tropical weather.
Improved Energy Performance
Reflective and ventilated systems help reduce heat gain, keeping homes cooler and potentially lowering cooling costs in Jacksonville’s hot summers.
Boosted Curb Appeal and Value
A professionally installed roof elevates your home’s appearance and supports stronger resale value in desirable areas like Ponte Vedra and St. Johns County.
Lasting Reliability
Quality installation backed by comprehensive warranties delivers years of worry-free performance tailored to local conditions.
Key Installation Components
Roof Decking Preparation
Decking is inspected and reinforced or replaced to create a solid, code-compliant base.
Underlayment and Barriers
High-performance synthetic underlayment and self-adhering membranes in vulnerable areas add secondary leak protection.
Flashing and Ventilation
Custom metal flashing and balanced ventilation systems ensure watertight seals and healthy attic airflow.
Shingles or Tiles
Premium asphalt shingles or concrete/clay tiles are applied for durability and architectural harmony.
Edge and Ridge Details
Specialized starters, drip edges, and ridge caps provide extra protection at critical transitions.
Gutter Alignment
New or existing gutters are integrated for efficient water management.
Installation Process Steps
Consultation and Design Planning
We meet at your home to review architectural style, discuss performance goals, budget, and color preferences, then present material options with samples. We explain wind ratings, impact resistance, and energy features specific to Jacksonville’s building codes and hurricane zone requirements.
Permitting and Material Ordering
We prepare and submit all required permits to Duval, St. Johns, Clay, or Nassau County authorities. Materials are selected for current code compliance (including high-wind fastening schedules) and ordered with timed delivery to keep the project moving smoothly.
Comprehensive Site Protection
Landscaping, windows, siding, pools, patios, and driveways are covered with heavy tarps, plywood shields, and protective barriers. Dumpsters and safety equipment are positioned thoughtfully to minimize disruption to your daily life.
Old Roof Removal (if applicable)
Existing materials are stripped completely to the decking in a controlled manner. Debris is dropped directly into dumpsters with tarps catching stray pieces, keeping your yard as clean as possible throughout the tear-off phase.
Decking Repairs and Underlayment Application
Decking is thoroughly checked for rot or weakness—common in humid climates—and damaged sections are replaced. Synthetic underlayment is rolled out and fastened, with ice-and-water shield applied at eaves, valleys, and penetrations for superior protection against wind-driven rain.
Flashing, Ventilation, and Roofing Installation
New metal drip edges, valley flashing, and pipe boots are installed first. Shingles or tiles are then applied row by row using manufacturer-recommended nailing patterns and high-wind fastening schedules. Ventilation components (ridge vents, off-ridge vents, or soffit systems) are integrated for optimal attic airflow.
Final Detailing, Cleanup, and Walkthrough
Ridge caps, hip covers, and accessory flashing complete the system. Multiple magnetic sweeps collect nails, debris is removed, and the entire property is blown clean. We perform a final quality inspection, then walk you through your new roof, explaining features and providing warranty registration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What roofing materials work best in Jacksonville?
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular for their balance of cost, wind resistance, and style variety. Concrete and clay tiles are excellent for classic coastal looks and longevity. We also install impact-resistant options that often qualify for insurance discounts—we’ll bring samples so you can choose what fits your home perfectly!
How long does a full roof installation take?
Most homes are completed in 3–7 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather. New construction may vary. We work with a full experienced crew and keep you informed daily so there are no surprises.
Will the installation be noisy or leave my yard messy?
There will be noise during tear-off and nailing, but we work regular daytime hours and use extensive tarps and daily cleanups. At completion, we do thorough magnetic sweeps and leave your property spotless—many customers are impressed at how tidy we keep everything!
Do you handle all required permits?
Yes—we manage the entire permitting process with local building departments so you don’t have to deal with paperwork or inspections.
Can a new roof help with insurance discounts?
Definitely! Many Florida insurers offer significant discounts for wind-mitigation features like sealed roof decks, enhanced fastening, and impact-resistant materials. We’ll provide documentation to help you claim available credits.

You receive full manufacturer material warranties (30–50 years or lifetime depending on product) plus our comprehensive workmanship warranty. We handle registration so coverage starts immediately.
