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 St. Petersburg
St. Pete has the oldest housing stock of any city we serve — a median build year of 1970 — along with one of the largest concentrations of pre-1940 housing on the Gulf Coast in the Old Northeast and Kenwood historic districts. Fifty-five percent of the city's total area is water.
What's on the roofs here. Barrel and flat tile on the Mediterranean-revival stock; everything post-war is largely shingle. Salt air shortens the life of exposed fasteners and galvanised metal here more than it does inland.
Recent storms. Helene's 2024 surge reached 6.31 ft above normal high water at the St. Petersburg gauge — an all-time record on a tide record going back to 1947. Milton followed with 101 mph gusts at Albert Whitted and 18.54 inches of rain in a single day, nearly tripling the previous daily record, and took the roof off Tropicana Field. Idalia in 2023 is what flooded Shore Acres and Riviera Bay.
Neighbourhoods we work in: Old Northeast, Kenwood, Shore Acres, Snell Isle, Jungle Terrace, Pinellas Point.
St. Petersburg roofing facts
Pinellas County, Florida

City of St. Petersburg Construction Services and Permitting.
All of Pinellas County is inside the wind-borne debris region. Pinellas did not adopt the state map as drawn — a local amendment fixes the design wind speed at 145 mph countywide, so there is no line to be on the wrong side of here.
Population about 267,100. Sources for every figure on this page are listed in our Florida roofing guides — building code, statute and NOAA storm reports.

St. Petersburg — the local questions
Who issues the roof permit in St. Petersburg?
City of St. Petersburg Construction Services and Permitting. 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 St. Petersburg reroof?
All of Pinellas County is inside the wind-borne debris region. Pinellas did not adopt the state map as drawn — a local amendment fixes the design wind speed at 145 mph countywide, so there is no line to be on the wrong side of here. 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 St. Petersburg?
Median build year 1969 — the typical St. Petersburg home is about 57 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 St. Petersburg?
St. Petersburg is about 28 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 St. Petersburg?
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.
