Our Ranking Methodology

Our process involves collecting a list of about 24,000 companies nationwide and analyzing their online presence. We extract their highlights and lowlights using machine learning and natural language processing. Using this information, we score each company based on a combination of review criteria, including:

• Experience: The company should have evidence of experience in its industry, and should employ quality contractors.
• Service area: Whether or not the company services your city, as well as how many areas in the city it services. Companies with a larger service area score higher.
• Customer experience: We take a look at each company's customer reviews to determine how satisfied customers are with the company's service and products.
• Accreditation: Companies with proper licensing and knowledgeable professionals rank higher.
• Pros and cons: We sort the above factors into pros and cons for the company, such as roofing materials available, customer satisfaction and reviews, and cost, and weigh the score based on those.

Then, we map companies based on service area and show the most relevant providers in your area based on each company's distance from you and its overall scores.

Roof Replacement

Replacing your full roof is a common service needed in Jacksonville. Replacing your roof ranges between $5,000 and $15,000 overall, but your cost will depend on several factors such as the square footage of your home and the roofing material you choose. Asphalt shingles are the cheapest at around $1 to $3 per square foot not including the cost of installation, so you can expect that to be the lowest amount you'd pay for materials.

Roof Repair

Most roofing companies in Jacksonville will do roof repairs. On average, a roof repair will cost around $1,000, but your cost can be more or less depending on what repairs are needed.

Roof Cleaning

Roof cleaning is the last of the common roof services required in Jacksonville, mostly due to moss and improving curb appeal. Having your roof cleaned costs between $300 and $700 for most homeowners.

Which materials are best for Jacksonville's climate?

You can often narrow down roofers by determining which roof materials they have. Below we'll detail some factors to consider when deciding on a roofing material:

• Energy efficiency: Metal is reflective, so it prevents the summer sun from warming up the inside of your home too much. It's also a good insulator, so it can keep warm air trapped inside your home in the winter, which helps to decrease your energy use.
• Longevity: Asphalt shingles last around 15 to 20 years, in comparison to metal which lasts 40 to 60, 75 to 100 for slate, and 80 to 100 for clay.
• Solar installation: If you want to install solar panels on your Jacksonville home, it's a good idea to consider the lifespan of the roofing material you're installing. Solar panels last 20 to 30 years on average, while asphalt lasts 15 to 20, so you may want to get a material that outlasts solar panels, like slate, clay, or metal.

Signs I should replace my roof

Knowing when to replace your roof can help prevent leaks and other forms of damage from worsening, potentially costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars in water damage or other roof-related issues.

First, you need to consider replacing your roof if you see any visible damage. Damages to watch out for include: fading, missing shingles, staining, damaged flashing or fascia boards, evidence of leaking and cracked or otherwise damaged shingles.

If you're installing a solar energy system on your home soon, you might want to consider roof replacement before you install your panels. A new roof will help lower the need to carry out roof maintenance after installation.

Finding the right roofing company

It can be overwhelming to choose a roofing company in Jacksonville, but you should consider a few key things in order to get started in the right direction.

First, we recommend working only with companies that have several years of experience. More experienced companies are more likely to do the job right and provide the highest-quality service for your roofing job.

All roofing contractors in Jacksonville must be licensed, so you should check to ensure that the roofer you're considering in Jacksonville is licensed. Also, most roof repairs and all roof installations and replacements require a building permit to be filed with the city. Your roofer should confirm that it will get the permits before starting any work.

Lastly, roofs in any area go through a lot of wear and tear, so it's best to choose a company that offers a long roof warranty to protect your investment.
