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.
A roof report is the document that decides things: whether your insurer renews you, whether a repair is worth doing, whether a storm actually did damage. Ours is free, it's written, it's photographed, and you keep it whether or not you hire us.
Typical Florida range: Free — inspection, photographs and written roof report, no obligation. That is a market range for comparison, not a quote — the free inspection produces your actual number.
What we get called out for
Your insurer is asking for proof of roof condition
Florida carriers scrutinise roofs hard once they pass 15 years. A documented inspection showing remaining useful life is what keeps a sound older roof insurable.
You're buying or selling a house
Roof age and condition is the line item that most often reopens a negotiation in Florida. Get it in writing before the inspection period closes.
A storm just went through
Damage documented within days of the event is worth far more than damage documented months later, and Florida's claim notice window is now one year.
Someone knocked on your door about your roof
Florida law restricts unsolicited door-to-door solicitation to make an insurance claim. A second, independent opinion costs you nothing here.
You just want to know how long you've got
The honest answer is often 'five more years, and here is what to watch.' We put that in writing too — it is not a sales call with a clipboard.
What the work looks like
JAC Builders' own job photography — our crews, our projects, across both divisions.
How it works
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
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.”
Free Roof Inspection — questions we get asked
What's included in the free roof report?
Photographs of every slope, the ridge, valleys, flashings and penetrations; the material and approximate age; a condition assessment with an estimate of remaining useful life; any storm damage found and where; and a recommendation — repair, replace, or monitor. If replacement is the answer you also get an itemised estimate.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes, including the written report and the photographs, and you keep it whether you hire us or not.
Is this the same as a 4-point or wind mitigation inspection?
No. Those are insurance inspections performed by licensed inspectors and submitted on standard forms. Ours is a contractor's roof condition report. They complement each other — ours tells you what the roof needs, theirs is what the carrier files.
Do you go on the roof, or just look from the ground?
On the roof, plus aerial photography where it helps. Tile roofs get walked carefully and only where they'll take the weight.
How often should a Florida roof be inspected?
Once a year, and again after any named storm or significant hail event. Florida roofs age faster than the manufacturer's rating because of UV, heat cycling and driven rain.
Will you try to sell me a roof?
We'll tell you what we found. Plenty of these inspections end with 'it's fine, see you next year' — that's the point of doing them free.
Questions people ask before they call
- Can an insurer drop me because of my roof's age in Florida?Under Florida law passed in 2022 (SB 2-D), an insurer cannot refuse to write or renew a policy solely because a roof is less than 15 years old.
- How does a roof insurance claim work in Florida?A Florida homeowner's policy covers sudden, accidental damage — a named storm, wind, hail, a tree — and does not cover age, wear or a roof that.
- What is a wind mitigation inspection, and what does a roof earn on it?Florida's Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, OIR-B1-1802, was revised effective 1 April 2026 under Rule 69O-170.0155.
- 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 do I know if my roof needs replacing?A Florida roof generally needs replacing rather than repairing when it shows several of these at once: heavy granule loss, leaks in more than one.

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
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
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and 5V crimp — 40 to 70 years, high wind ratings, and it sheds heat instead of holding it. Two to three times shingle up front.
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.
