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.
Roofing in Clearwater
Clearwater splits sharply between the barrier island — Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, Sand Key — and the inland Countryside and Morningside subdivisions. The citywide median build year is 1977, so a large share of the stock is on its second or third roof.
What's on the roofs here. Tile and low-slope membrane on the island stock, shingle through the inland subdivisions. Anything within a mile or two of the Gulf needs coastal-grade fasteners and flashing or it corrodes years early.
Recent storms. Helene's 2024 surge hit 6.67 ft above normal high water at the Clearwater Beach gauge — an all-time record on a record going back to 1973 — and Milton gusted to 90 mph two weeks later. The most destructive single roof event here was neither: an EF-2 waterspout came ashore at north Clearwater Beach on 12 October 2023 and tore more than a third of the roof off a Dunedin condominium, throwing debris around 500 yards.
Neighbourhoods we work in: Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, Countryside, Belleair, Sand Key, Morningside.

Clearwater — the local questions
Who issues the roof permit in Clearwater?
City of Clearwater Planning and Development Department. We pull the permit in our own licence number — CCC1334352 — and we are there for the final inspection.
What does the building code require on a Clearwater reroof?
All of Pinellas County is inside the wind-borne debris region, at a locally amended 145 mph countywide. Pinellas also states plainly that everyone in the county lives in a flood zone, and its improved NFIP rating has given residents a 40% flood-insurance discount since April 2024. Separately, and statewide, Florida requires sealed-roof-deck underlayment on every roof replacement, and homes permitted before the Florida Building Code took effect also need the deck re-nailed with ring-shank nails at six inches on centre once the covering comes off — 'before the code' meaning permitted before 1 March 2002.
How old are roofs in Clearwater?
Median build year 1978 — the typical Clearwater home is about 48 years old, so a large share of this stock is already on its second or third roof and the underlayment question is a live one.
How fast can you get to Clearwater?
Clearwater is about 25 miles from our Odessa office, so it's a routine run for the Tampa Bay crews rather than a special trip. Call (813) 920-9644 and you'll get a real date.
What does a roof replacement cost in Clearwater?
Roofing is priced per square — 100 sq ft of roof. On a 22–26 square roof, architectural shingle generally runs $11,000–$20,000 and concrete tile $25,000–$55,000 across both our metros. Pitch, storeys, layer count and decking condition move it. Market ranges, not a quote — the free inspection produces your number.
