Jacksonville Roofing Market
Roofing is the one Jacksonville category in this research where the buyer actually gets a verifiable credential. Florida certified roofing contractors carry a CCC license number, that number is publicly searchable against the state record, and three of the six firms here publish theirs. That is a better disclosure record than local SEO or legal services in this market. The catch is that a published number is a point in time claim. One firm in this set shows two different license numbers across sources, and another carries a recorded expiry that falls before the date of this review. Coastal exposure also matters more than most citywide contractors acknowledge: direct oceanfront roofs at the Beaches run shorter replacement cycles than inland Duval County stock.

Provider Profiles
1
Best For: Buyers who want the longest operating history in the market
The oldest roofing firm in this comparison by a wide margin, established 1946 and later bought by the Voss family. Names Clay, Duval and St. Johns counties specifically rather than claiming Northeast Florida generally. The one entry in this set where two different license numbers appear across sources, which is the clearest argument in this comparison for checking the state record yourself rather than trusting any published number.
Strengths
- Nearly eighty years in the Jacksonville market
- Names three specific counties rather than a region
- GAF certified residential contractor
Watchouts
- Two different license numbers appear across published sources
- No published pricing or warranty terms
2
Best For: Roof, solar and hurricane protection handled as one project
Publishes three license numbers, the most of any contractor in this set, and maintains a dedicated licenses and insurance page rather than burying the numbers in a footer. Describes itself as the largest locally owned roofing firm in Northeast Florida. The solar and hurricane shutter capability is genuinely unusual for a roofing contractor and matters on a coastal replacement.
Strengths
- Three published license numbers including a general contractor license
- Dedicated licensing and insurance page
- Solar and hurricane protection under one contract
Watchouts
- No published pricing
- Newest of the established firms in this set
3
Best For: Residential replacement from a locally owned firm
Locally owned and BBB A plus rated, founded by a third generation contractor, serving Jacksonville and Northeast Florida since 2011. Holds both a roofing and a building license. The BBB record carries a roofing license expiry of August 31, 2026, which falls before the date of this review, so confirm the renewal directly with the state before signing.
Strengths
- Holds both roofing and building licenses
- BBB A plus rating
- Third generation contractor ownership
Watchouts
- BBB recorded license expiry predates this review and needs confirming
- No published pricing
4
Best For: Commercial work or buyers wanting a multi market contractor
The only contractor in this set operating across five Florida markets from a Jacksonville corporate office, which suits multi site commercial work. Owens Corning Platinum certified. Does not publish a license number, so the state record has to be searched by company name instead.
Strengths
- Jacksonville corporate office with statewide coverage
- Owens Corning Platinum certification
- Genuine commercial capability
Watchouts
- No published license number
- No published pricing
- Attention split across five markets
5
Best For: Buyers prioritizing a published workmanship guarantee
Described as operating for more than four decades and recognized for workmanship guarantees, and listed as an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor. Detail for this entry comes from public directory and search evidence rather than direct verification, so treat the credential claims as unconfirmed until checked.
Strengths
- Long stated operating history
- Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status
- Workmanship guarantee referenced publicly
Watchouts
- Detail not directly verified for this review
- No published license number found
- Guarantee terms not published
6
Best For: Buyers wanting roofing inside a wider construction scope
GAF certified and covering both residential and commercial work as part of a broader construction business rather than a roofing specializt. Detail comes from public search and directory evidence rather than direct verification.
Strengths
- GAF certified
- Roofing sits inside a wider construction capability
Watchouts
- Roofing is not the sole focus
- No published license number
- Detail not directly verified
Buyer Checklist
- Search the license number against the state record yourself Three firms here publish one. One of those shows a different number on BBB than on its own website, so the published figure is a starting point, not proof.
- Check the license expiry date, not just the number One firm in this set carries a BBB recorded roofing license expiry of August 31, 2026, which is before the date of this review. Confirm the renewal directly.
- Confirm the contractor holds a roofing license, not only a building license Florida certifies roofing separately with a CCC prefix. A CBC or CGC number alone is a different credential.
- Ask for the manufacturer certification level in writing GAF certified, Owens Corning Platinum and Platinum Preferred are different tiers carrying different warranty access.
- Ask whether the warranty is workmanship, manufacturer, or both No firm in this set publishes warranty terms. Only one references a workmanship guarantee at all, without stating its length.
- Confirm coastal exposure is priced into the specification Direct oceanfront and Intracoastal roofs face salt and wind loads that inland Duval County stock does not.
- Get the insurance claim position in writing before storm work Several firms here market storm damage work. Who files, who negotiates, and who carries the shortfall should be settled before the roof comes off.
FAQ
How do I verify a Jacksonville roofing contractor?
Florida certifies roofing contractors separately, and their license numbers carry a CCC prefix which is publicly searchable against the state record. Three of the six firms here publish a number: Reliant Roofing publishes CCC1330615, CCC1334753 and CGC057409, Bigfoot Roofing publishes CCC1329769 and CBC1259087, and Jack C. Wilson Roofing publishes CC-C1330915 on its own site while BBB records CCC049358. Search the number and the company name yourself rather than relying on any single published figure.
What does a roof replacement cost in Jacksonville?
No contractor in this comparison publishes pricing. Roofing is priced on square footage, pitch, material, decking condition, and tear off layers, so a headline rate would be close to meaningless. The practical effect is the same as every other category researched in this market: a buyer cannot shortlist on price and has to schedule inspections with several contractors instead.
Does a CCC license differ from a CBC or CGC license?
Yes. CCC is the Florida certified roofing contractor credential. CBC is certified building contractor and CGC is certified general contractor, both of which cover broader construction but are not roofing specific. Two firms in this set hold a roofing license alongside a building or general license. A contractor offering roofing on a CBC or CGC number alone is worth a direct question.
Do roofs at the Beaches need different specification?
Coastal exposure shortens replacement cycles through salt air and higher wind loads, and Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville Beach sit on direct oceanfront and Intracoastal frontage that inland Duval County stock does not face. Median home values in both beach cities run roughly double the Jacksonville citywide figure, so the roofs are usually larger and the specification heavier. Ask whether the quote reflects coastal exposure or a standard inland specification.
What do the manufacturer certifications actually mean?
They are tiers within a manufacturer program, not state credentials. GAF certified and Owens Corning Platinum or Platinum Preferred indicate the contractor has met that manufacturer standard and can usually offer extended manufacturer warranties. They say nothing about the state license, which is the credential that matters legally. Treat them as a secondary signal on top of a verified license, not a substitute for one.
How were these companies selected?
This set covers roofing contractors that are publicly discoverable for Jacksonville roofing searches as of September 2026. Some entries were verified directly against the contractor website and some rely on public directory and search evidence, which is stated in each entry. Firms that could not be independently attributed to this market were left out rather than listed with gaps. This compares published credentials and disclosure, not workmanship.
Methodology: Contractors were identified from Jacksonville roofing search results and public directory listings in September 2026. Entries marked as directly verified were checked against the contractor website for license numbers, founding year, service areas, certifications, and published pricing or warranty terms. Entries relying on public directory and search evidence are identified as such in their notes. Published license numbers are reproduced as stated, including one case where the company website and the BBB record disagree, and all should be confirmed against the Florida state licensing record before hiring. A recorded license expiry is reported as recorded and is not an assertion that a license has lapsed. Absence of published pricing or warranty terms is recorded as a fact about disclosure and is not a judgment about workmanship.
