Commercialroofing and construction
We partner with property owners, property managers and general contractors on commercial projects across Northeast Florida: from new construction to re-roofs, maintenance and coatings.
Two licencesone contractor on the job
As a Certified Building Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor, Built by Advocate partners with property owners, managers and general contractors on commercial projects across Northeast Florida: from new construction to re-roofs, maintenance and coatings.
Holding both licences is the practical difference on a commercial building. When a roof replacement turns up rotted decking, a failed parapet or a structural detail that needs correcting, it does not become a second bid, a second contract and a second schedule. It stays on our scope.
Our crews are on our own payroll, so the people who show up on day one are the people who finish the job, and you know who is on your property.
Built around the buildingnot around a template
Commercial roofs fail in ways residential roofs do not: ponding water on a low-slope section, sealant giving out around roof-top equipment, a tie-in between two systems that was never detailed properly. We start by getting on the roof, and you get the photos of whatever we find whether you book the work or not.
From there it is a straight answer: repair it, put it on a maintenance program, coat it, or replace it. We would rather tell you a coating buys you fifteen more years than sell you a replacement you did not need this year.
Commercial installationswe handle in house
Four systems cover almost every commercial building we work on in Northeast Florida. Larger properties often carry two of them at once, a pitched shingle or metal section over the occupied space and a low-slope membrane over the back of house.
Shingle
Architectural shingle on pitched commercial and multi-family roofs, installed by GAF Certified Plus crews.
Metal
Standing seam and exposed-fastener metal for buildings that need a long service life with minimal upkeep.
Modified bitumen
Torch- and cold-applied modified bitumen for low-slope sections, tie-ins and roof-top equipment curbs.
TPO
Single-ply TPO membrane on flat and low-slope commercial roofs, detailed around every penetration.

Commercialquestions we get asked
Yes. There are a few ways to protect your investment and extend the lifespan of your roof, and the two that make the biggest difference are a maintenance program and a roof coating. A maintenance program catches small problems (blocked valleys, loose flashing, failed sealant around penetrations) before they become leaks. A silicone coating goes further on an aging low-slope roof, adding a waterproof layer for up to 20 years at a fraction of what replacement costs. We will tell you which one your building is a candidate for after we have been on the roof.
Yes. We have worked on multiple occupied spaces, and our team provides an installation schedule and plan before construction begins so tenants know what to expect. That covers which sections we are working on and when, where our crews and materials will stage, and what access we need. Property managers get one point of contact rather than chasing a crew lead in the parking lot.
Yes. Our team has worked directly with multiple general contractors to bid and construct new properties across the roof systems we install: shingle, metal, modified bitumen and TPO. We can bid off a set of plans or come out for an on-site take-off, and because we hold both a Certified Building Contractor and a Certified Roofing Contractor licence we can carry structural and exterior scope on the same job.
Shingle, metal, modified bitumen and TPO. Which one is right depends on the pitch of the roof, the equipment sitting on it, how long you plan to hold the building, and what your insurer wants to see. We repair other systems, including tile, but the four above are what we install on commercial property.
Yes. Advocate Roofing and Construction holds a Certified Roofing Contractor licence (CCC1335155) and a Certified Building Contractor licence (CBC1270530) in the State of Florida, and we are fully insured. The second licence is the one that matters on commercial jobs: it means structural, exterior and building scope does not have to be handed to a separate contractor mid-project.
Yes, and a large share of our commercial work is exactly that. We build the maintenance program around the property rather than around your travel schedule, and every visit comes back to you with an inspection report and photos so you can see the condition of the roof without flying in. If something does go wrong, you get preference for first-available scheduling.
