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.
Metal is the longest-lived roof you can put on a Florida house — 40 to 70 years, high wind ratings, and it sheds the heat instead of absorbing it. It costs roughly two to three times a shingle roof up front, which makes it a decision about how long you're staying, not just about the roof.
Typical Florida range: $800–$1,500 per square for standing seam ($20,000–$45,000 typical); exposed-fastener 5V $650–$1,200 per square ($15,000–$28,000). That is a market range for comparison, not a quote — the free inspection produces your actual number.
Financing available — plans from $99.59/month through Service Finance, with a 12-month no-interest option and no prepayment penalty. See the options.
What we get called out for
You're tired of replacing the roof every 15 years
This is the honest case for metal. Over a 40-year ownership you're buying one roof instead of two or three, and the maths usually works out even though the first cheque is bigger.
Cooling bills that climb every summer
Reflective metal roofing re-emits a large share of solar heat instead of conducting it into the attic. Real savings, though smaller than the marketing claims — expect a meaningful dent, not a halved bill.
You want the best wind performance available
Properly installed standing seam with concealed clips carries some of the highest uplift ratings on the market, and there are no shingles to lift and tear.
Exposed-fastener roof leaking at the screws
The neoprene washers on an exposed-fastener system are the maintenance item — they dry out and shrink after 10–15 years. Re-screwing is a legitimate mid-life service, not a failure.
Oil-canning or waviness in the panels
Cosmetic waviness in flat panel areas. Striations, heavier gauge and correct clip spacing reduce it; no installer can promise it away entirely on a wide flat pan.

What customers said about this work
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.”
Metal Roofing — questions we get asked
How long does a metal roof last in Florida?
It depends which metal roof, and blending them into one number is how people get misled. A quality Galvalume standing-seam system realistically gives 40–60-plus years; a Metal Construction Association study of in-service roofs concluded at least 60. Exposed-fastener panels give 25–40, with the neoprene fastener washers needing attention at 15–25 years. Within about a mile of salt water, take years off both — corroded fasteners fail at a fraction of their design uplift load, and that, not the panel, is the real coastal risk.
What does a metal roof cost?
Standing seam generally runs $800–$1,500 per square installed — about $20,000–$45,000 on a typical Florida roof. Exposed-fastener 5V crimp is less, roughly $650–$1,200 per square, or $15,000–$28,000. Be careful with the $300–$600 per square figure on supply websites: that is material only, before installation, and installation adds 40–60%.
Will a metal roof lower my insurance?
It can. Carriers price off the wind mitigation inspection, and a metal roof with documented high uplift ratings and a sealed deck often scores well. Ask your agent what your specific carrier credits — the answer varies more than people expect.
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
Not over a solid deck with underlayment and an insulated attic beneath it, which is how every residential metal roof we install is built. The noise reputation comes from barn roofs installed over open purlins.
Does metal attract lightning?
No. Metal does not increase the likelihood of a strike. If anything it disperses the energy of one better than combustible materials do.
Can metal go over my existing shingles?
Sometimes it's physically possible, but we generally don't. You can't inspect the decking through a layer you've left in place, and decking is where Florida roofs actually fail.

Questions people ask before they call
- Shingle, tile or metal — which roof is right for a Florida home?For most Florida homes, architectural shingle is the right answer: it is the cheapest to install at roughly $11,000–$20,000 on a 22–26 square roof.
- What does a roof warranty actually cover?Two separate warranties cover a new roof and they fail in different ways.
- How long does a roof last in Florida?In Florida, architectural asphalt shingle realistically lasts about 15–20 years despite a 25–30 year rating, and 3-tab about 10–15.
- How much does a roof replacement cost in Florida?Florida roofs are priced per square — 100 square feet of roof surface — and a single-storey 2,000 square foot home is usually 22–26 squares.

Other things we do
Roof Repair
Pipe boots, lifted ridge cap, failed valley flashing, cracked tiles. We fix what is broken, and say so plainly when a repair is only buying months.
See details
Storm Damage Restoration
Tarp and dry-in first, then photograph the roof plane by plane and put it in writing — a report you can hand straight to your insurance carrier.
See details
Free Roof Inspection
A written, photographed report on every slope, flashing and penetration, with the remaining life. Free, and yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
See details
Shingle Roofing
Architectural shingle installed as a complete system: underlayment, fastening pattern, metal and ventilation. Owens Corning Platinum Preferred.
See details
Tile Roofing
On tile the underlayment is the waterproofing, so most Florida tile work is re-underlayment: tiles off, a new system down, the same tiles back on.
See details
Commercial Roofing
TPO, modified bitumen and flat systems, phased building by building so tenants keep trading and every unit is dried in before we leave each night.
See details
Exteriors & Custom Builds
Gutters, soffit and fascia, re-roofing under an existing solar array, and the interior damage under a leak. We hold the general contractor's licence, so it is one contract, not two.
