Shingle roofing in Tampa Bay & Orlando
Architectural shingle is what most Florida homes get, and the difference between a 15-year roof and a 25-year roof is almost never the shingle itself — it's the underlayment, the fastening pattern, the metal and the ventilation underneath it.

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.
Architectural shingle is what most Florida homes get, and the difference between a 15-year roof and a 25-year roof is almost never the shingle itself — it's the underlayment, the fastening pattern, the metal and the ventilation underneath it. We're an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and we install the system, not just the top layer.
Typical Florida range: $500–$850 per square installed — $11,000–$20,000 on a 22–26 square roof. 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
Granules in the gutters
Granule loss is the shingle's sunscreen coming off. Some shedding is normal in the first months after install; a steady stream years in means the mat underneath is being exposed.
Shingles that look wavy or lifted
Usually a failed seal strip from wind, or heat cupping on a roof with inadequate ventilation. Both are wind-uplift risks in the next storm.
Dark streaks running down the slopes
That's algae, not dirt, and it's near-universal on Florida roofs. It doesn't shorten roof life much, but algae-resistant shingles and zinc or copper strips at the ridge prevent it.
An attic that's brutally hot
Under-ventilated attics bake the shingles from underneath and can halve their service life. Ridge ventilation and adequate soffit intake is part of a proper replacement, not an upsell.
Exposed or over-driven nails
Fastening pattern is what a shingle's wind rating actually depends on. Shiners and over-driven nails are the most common reason a 130 mph shingle fails at 90 mph.

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 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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
Shingle Roofing — questions we get asked
How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in Florida?
Architectural shingles are rated 25–30 years and realistically deliver about 15–20 here. That is not our estimate — InterNACHI publishes a separate life-expectancy chart for Florida homes and puts architectural shingle at 15–20 against 30 on its national chart. Older 3-tab manages 10–15. Shingle surface temperatures push past 180°F in a Florida summer with no winter recovery period, so the asphalt binder simply ages faster.
What does shingle roofing cost here?
Roughly $500–$850 per square (100 sq ft) installed, so about $11,000–$20,000 on a 22–26 square roof. Pitch above 6:12 adds 15–25%, a second storey adds around 15% in labour, and complex geometry — valleys, hips, dormers — another 15–25%. Market range, not a quote.
What does Owens Corning Preferred Contractor mean?
It's a manufacturer credential — a vetted installer status that carries warranty requirements and lets us offer the system warranties Owens Corning backs. It means the underlayment, starter, field shingle, hip-and-ridge and ventilation all come from one system rather than whatever was cheapest that week.
Are shingles a bad choice in hurricane country?
No — modern architectural shingles are tested to high wind ratings, and correctly nailed with a sealed deck beneath them they perform well. The failures you see after storms are almost always installation failures: wrong nail placement, no starter course, or a seal strip that never bonded.
What's a sealed roof deck or secondary water barrier?
A waterproof layer that keeps water out of the house even if the shingles come off. Florida requires sealed-roof-deck underlayment on every roof replacement statewide — not just near the coast — under FBC Residential R905.1.1. On pre-2002 homes the code also requires the deck to be re-nailed with ring-shank nails at 6 inches on centre when the covering comes off. Those two things are why a Florida reroof costs what it does.
Can you match my existing shingles for a repair?
Often, yes — we'll tell you honestly when a colour is discontinued and a patch is going to be visible from the street.

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 it take to replace a roof?A typical Florida single-family shingle roof is a one to two day job once the crew is on site: tear off and dry-in on day one, finish on day two.
- 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.
- 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 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
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.
