Two licenses.One contractor for the whole exterior.
Most roofing companies hold one license, and it stops at the roof. We hold two. The State of Florida licenses us as a Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC1335155) and separately as a Certified Building Contractor (CBC1270530).
That second license is the whole difference. It is why we can legally handle structural and full-exterior work (additions, detached structures, decks, screened enclosures) alongside the roof, instead of handing you off to somebody else halfway through your project.
One company, one contract, one point of contact, and the same standard on the siding and the pavers as on the shingles.
What we doRoofing, residential, commercial
Our services fall into three groups, plus the professional relationships we build with builders, contractors and real estate partners. Roofing is our largest trade, but the building license means the rest of the exterior is ours too.

At Built by Advocate we believe quality work isn’t just about swinging a hammer, laying shingles or hanging a door. As a Certified Building Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor, we treat every project, from a roof replacement to a full exterior renovation, as a craft that requires constant learning to deliver the right solution.
That’s a big reason our team makes it a priority to participate in continuing education and training every quarter: TPO installation, shingle systems, metal roofing and flashing, Polyglass cold-apply systems, OSHA safety and CPR certification.
Products evolve, building codes get updated, and manufacturers release systems with specific installation requirements. We train with our suppliers regularly so we’re doing things the right way, the first time, which means fewer mistakes, better warranty coverage and safer work sites.
Where we workFour counties in Northeast Florida
We are based in Jacksonville with a second office in Fernandina Beach, and we work across four Northeast Florida counties. Every area has its own conditions: coastal salt exposure on Amelia Island, heavy tree canopy inland, different building departments and different permitting. Pick your area to see what we actually run into there.

Financingon qualified projects
Taking care of your property is a big investment, and we want to make it as easy as possible. We offer in-house payment plans on qualified projects. We’re flexible on down payments and we’ll do our best to work with your budget.
For larger projects, third-party financing is available through Wisetack. You can prequalify online before your estimate, or apply directly inside the estimate we send you.
All financing is subject to credit approval. Your terms may vary. Payment options through Wisetack are provided by our lending partners.
GAF Certified Plusand the warranties it unlocks
We prefer roofing products from GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. As a GAF Certified Plus Contractor (GAF ID 1127950) we are authorised to offer both the GAF Silver Pledge Limited Warranty and the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty.
A contractor has to be certified and backed by the manufacturer to install and register those, which is exactly why the coverage holds up when you need it.
Questionswe get asked a lot
Yes. Advocate Roofing and Construction is licensed in the State of Florida as a Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC1335155) and a Certified Building Contractor (CBC1270530), and we carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Holding both licenses is the reason we can handle a full exterior (roofing plus siding, windows, decks, enclosures and detached structures) rather than sending you to three different companies. You can verify both license numbers with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
We work across Nassau County, Duval County, Clay County and St. Johns County in Northeast Florida. That covers Jacksonville and the beaches, Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island, Yulee, Callahan, Hilliard, St. Johns, St. Augustine and Orange Park. Our main office is in Jacksonville at 700 E Union St and we keep a second office in Fernandina Beach.
No, and this is the thing most people get wrong about us. We are a Certified Building Contractor as well as a Certified Roofing Contractor, which means the state licenses us to do structural and full-exterior work, not only roofs. Roofing is still our largest trade, but the same company can also handle your siding, pavers, painting, gutters, windows and doors, screened enclosures, decks and fences under one contract and one point of contact.
Yes, always. We pull permits with the county, city and municipal building departments across Northeast Florida, and we will never perform unpermitted work on your property. Permitting is what gets your roof inspected mid-installation and again at completion, and it is what makes your manufacturer warranty and your insurance documentation hold up later.
No. Inspections and estimates are free, with no obligation and no minimum trip fee, including small repairs. We aim to have a repair inspection out within 48 hours, and in most cases we can be on site within 24 hours to look and give you a number. You will get the estimate in writing with photos of what we found.
Most residential roof replacements are done in one to two days depending on the size and complexity of the home. Crews start setting up around 7AM, tear off and dry in the same day where the weather allows, and clean up and sweep for nails before leaving. Your permit's final inspection typically follows one to three days after the work is finished.
Yes. We offer in-house payment plans on qualified projects, and homeowners can apply for financing directly inside their estimate rather than filling in a separate application somewhere else. We also work with a third-party financing company when that is a better fit. Tell us your budget up front and we will show you what the options actually cost.
We are a GAF Certified Plus contractor, which lets us offer the GAF Silver Pledge warranty: one of GAF's premier extended plans, and one only manufacturer-certified contractors are allowed to register. It covers materials and workmanship, and the certification is why the coverage holds. The specific term and coverage depend on the system you choose, and we will put it in writing with your estimate.
