About us
About JAC Builders
A Florida roofing and general contracting company working two metros out of two offices, with the licence numbers printed on the van.
Step 1 of 2
Pricing your roof…
One momentGot it — an estimator will call.
They will want to walk the roof: the drainage, the access and the deck are what price a flat system, and none of it shows up from the air.
One contract, one company responsible — JAC is a licensed general contractor as well as a roofer.
Got it — we have your details.
You are outside Tampa Bay and Central Florida, so this is a call rather than a price. Someone will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
If we cannot, we will say so and point you at someone who can. A roofer who drives two hours to a job is a roofer who is not there when it leaks.
Got it — we have your details.
A roofer from the Tampa Bay office will call you to book your free inspection. You get the same written roof report, photographed slope by slope, and a fixed price once someone has actually been on the roof.
We do not show an instant price on the Gulf Coast. The aerial pricing tool only covers Central Florida, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number at all.
- 1Drop in your address. Street and number is plenty.
- 2We call down the satellite. It photographs your roof from orbit while you wait.
- 3An estimator calls you with the price. Shingle, metal or flat — a real number for your roof, not a screen guess.
Nobody turns up unannounced. An estimator calls you at a time you agree to, with the price.
Who we are
JAC Builders, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 2019 and has held state certification as a general contractor since 2021 and as a roofing contractor since 2023. Both licences are held by Joshua Colon and both are current through August 2028.
We run two divisions. The Gulf Coast division works out of 16921 Gunn Hwy A in Odessa, covering Tampa Bay from Hernando County down to Sarasota. The Central Florida division works out of an office on Mt Vernon Street in Orlando, covering Greater Orlando, Lake, Osceola and Polk. Separate crews, separate schedules, separate phone numbers.
Being a certified general contractor as well as a roofing contractor is the practical difference in how we work. When a leak has taken the ceiling with it, or a storm has taken the soffit and the fascia and the gutters along with the shingles, that is one project and one company — not a roofer and then a six-week wait for somebody else.
What we won't do
We don't interpret your insurance policy — Florida reserves that to licensed public adjusters. We don't take an assignment of benefits; it's been prohibited on policies issued since 2023. We don't offer to pay, waive or rebate your deductible, which carries penalties up to $10,000 per violation under s. 489.147. And we don't knock on doors after a storm telling people to file claims.
What we do instead is inspect the roof for free, photograph every slope, write down what we found, and give you the report whether or not you hire us.

Florida licences CGC1531030 (general contractor) and CCC1334352 (roofing), both held by Joshua Colon / JAC Builders, Inc. and both current through August 2028. Look them up on the Florida DBPR licence search — neither one carries a complaint or a disciplinary action.
The honest version of our numbers
439 Google reviews
4.9 from 294 reviews on the Gulf Coast profile and 5.0 from 145 on the Central Florida profile, read October 2026. We link both so you can check. Our ratings on smaller platforms are lower — Yelp and Angi each carry a handful of reviews and sit around 3.4 to 4.0.
Founded 2019, licensed 2021
We're a 7-year-old Florida corporation, not a twenty-year-old one. The document number is P19000084870 and the record is public on Sunbiz. We'd rather say that than round it up.
Owens Corning Platinum Preferred
The top tier of Owens Corning's contractor program — roughly the top fifth of credentialed roofers in our area — and what makes us eligible to offer the Platinum Protection system warranty, which covers workmanship as well as material.
No licence complaints
Neither CGC1531030 nor CCC1334352 carries a complaint or a disciplinary action on the Florida DBPR record. That one is worth checking for any contractor you're considering, not just us.
What Florida homeowners say
4.9 out of 5 from 294 Google reviews on our Tampa Bay profile, as of October 2026 — 439 across both divisions. Every review below is a real one.
“From start to finish the process was seamless — from the sales team, to the office help, to the crew, to the clean up. We have a 3,000 sq ft roof and the job was completed within 2 days, start to finish. Prior to starting, the crew prepped the area around our home to keep the mess neat. They are licensed & insured and provided all documentation to verify.”
“JAC Builders delivered exceptional service from start to finish. They made the roofing process seamless, assisting with my insurance claim and answering all my questions. The final product exceeded my expectations.”
“JAC Builders and Roofing did an outstanding job on my roof in half a day, including a full run roof ridge vent and patching the old ones. Everything clean and neat when they left. Everything was coordinated perfectly — materials, the dumpster and the job.”
“Communication was on point, demo and installation was quick — just within about half a day — and my yard was debris free after all was said and done. Great workmanship quality, 10/10 would recommend.”
“JAC replaced my damaged roof. They were extremely professional at all levels of this process. Their cleanup crew was meticulous. Highly recommend this company.”
“Roof was up and done in 1 day. He made sure I had extra protection on the roof which also will help with insurance discounts. Allyson and her team were professional the entire day, made sure everything was covered and cleaned up, and came back to double check and inspect the roof.”
“The roof installation was the most efficient and impressive experience I have ever had with any kind of home improvement. I cannot say enough good things about the way JAC got this job done start to finish. Our roof is beautiful!”
“I love my new roof! He helped me from A to Z — understanding the entire process, what to expect from both the insurance company as well as the roofing job itself. This was so much easier than I thought it was going to be.”
“Great roofing company. They work fast but with quality. Phil was very helpful in processing everything.”
“They were thorough and efficient. They met and exceeded my expectations.”
“Reggie and the office personnel were excellent — very professional.”
How it works
Call the line for your area
Tampa Bay and Central Florida are separate divisions with separate crews and separate numbers. You get the one that actually covers your address.
Free inspection and written roof report
We photograph every slope, assess condition and remaining life, document any storm damage, and put it in writing. You keep the report whether or not you hire us.
Clear scope, clear price, then the work
An itemised estimate — including the per-sheet decking price — the permit pulled in our name, and a crew that dries the roof in every night until it's finished.
Questions homeowners ask
What areas does JAC Builders serve?
Two Florida metros, on two separate phone lines. The Gulf Coast division covers Tampa Bay — Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, Land O'Lakes, New Port Richey, Spring Hill, Sarasota and Palmetto — from our office in Odessa. The Central Florida division covers Greater Orlando, including Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Winter Park, Winter Garden, Clermont, Lakeland and Winter Haven.
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. Inspection, photographs and a written roof report, with no obligation, whether or not you hire us. You keep the report.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Florida?
Roofing is priced per square — 100 sq ft of roof. A single-storey 2,000 sq ft Florida home is usually 22–26 squares. On that, architectural shingle generally runs $11,000–$20,000, concrete tile $25,000–$55,000 and standing-seam metal $20,000–$45,000. Market ranges, not quotes — pitch, storeys, layer count and decking condition move them. The free inspection produces your number.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. JAC Builders holds Florida state certifications as a certified general contractor (CGC1531030) and a certified roofing contractor (CCC1334352), and carries general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We'll provide the certificates before work starts.
Do you help with insurance claims?
Yes, up to the line the law draws. We document the damage thoroughly, give you a written photographic report, and meet your adjuster on the roof. We don't file on your behalf, take an assignment of benefits, or offer to cover deductibles — Florida law is specific about all three.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, through Service Finance — plans from around $99.59 a month, a 12-month no-interest option, longer fixed-rate terms, and no prepayment penalty.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family shingle roofs are done in one to two days. Tile and metal typically run three to six days because the material is heavier and the detailing is slower.
Do you do work other than roofing?
Yes. JAC Builders is a certified general contractor as well as a roofing contractor — gutters, soffit and fascia, solar, exterior and interior renovation, drywall and paint, and custom projects.
