Residential servicesfor the whole exterior
We hold a Certified Building Contractor licence as well as a Certified Roofing Contractor licence. That is the reason one company can handle your siding, pavers, paint, gutters, windows, enclosures, decks and fences, and the roof over all of it.
Protecting your propertystarts on the outside
As a Certified Building Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor, we handle the whole exterior of your home, not just the roof. With a roofing system that’s built to last and backed by a lifetime warranty, you know your investment will be covered for years to come.
Our crews specialize in improvement projects that fit any home style, with a wide range of products to fit any budget. The relationships we’ve cultivated mean we can provide top-of-the-line products at an affordable price, plus customizable financing options for your projects.
Licences CCC1335155 (roofing) and CBC1270530 (building) are both held by Advocate Roofing and Construction, the company behind Built by Advocate. Call or text (904) 707-6546 and you get the same office either way.
One contractorfor the whole outside of the house
Most exterior projects touch more than one trade. Replacing siding means finding out what the old siding was hiding. New gutters only work if the fascia behind them is sound. A repaint on a wall that is still taking on water is money spent twice.
Because we hold both licences, we can carry a job across those lines without handing you off. One estimate, one crew schedule, one company answering the phone when you call about it afterwards.
Every inspection is free, every estimate is no-obligation, and we pull permits with your county, city or municipality building department on anything that needs one.
What we doon residential properties
Eight services, all of them in-house. If what you need isn’t on this list it is still worth a call. We either do it or we will point you at one of our partners.
Roofinghas its own set of pages
Roofing is still the core of what we do, and it is deep enough to warrant its own section rather than a line on this page. Our crews have over 60 years of combined experience installing asphalt shingles on residential and commercial properties, and we have prioritised training and continuing education with our manufacturers to keep the quality and the pricing where they should be.
Metal is the other side of it. With custom cut and fit panels, metal roofs offer long-lasting peace of mind thanks to their durability and longevity, and they are a low-maintenance option that stretches the lifespan of the roof compared to a shingle installation. It is a larger investment up front, and it is built to last longer.
Repairs, maintenance plans and skylights all live on the roofing side too. If a residential project turns out to start at the roofline, nothing gets handed off. It is the same company either way.

Residentialquestions we get asked
Yes. Built by Advocate is a fully licensed and insured Certified Building Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor in the State of Florida. Our roofing licence is CCC1335155 and our building licence is CBC1270530, and you are welcome to look either of them up before you hire us. Holding both is why we can handle the whole exterior rather than referring half of it out.
Yes. We work with all county, city and municipality building departments in the State of Florida for permits, including Duval, Nassau, Clay and St. Johns. We will never perform unpermitted work on your home. If a job needs a permit we pull it, we schedule the inspections, and we see them through to the final sign-off.
Yes. All of our inspections are free and every estimate we write is no-obligation. We are here to help when you need us, and there is no trip fee for coming out to look. You will get our findings in writing along with photos of anything we flagged, and those photos are yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
Yes. We offer in-house payment plans on qualified projects, and you can apply for financing directly inside your estimate rather than filling out a separate application somewhere else. We also work with a third-party financing partner when that turns out to be the better fit for a project. We are flexible with down payment options and will do our best to work with you.
No. Plenty of the siding, paver, painting and fence work we do is on homes whose roofs we have never touched. Hiring one contractor for several exterior projects does tend to make scheduling simpler and keeps the finished result consistent, but it is not a requirement. Tell us what you need and we will price only that.
We cover Nassau, Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties from two offices, our main office in Jacksonville and a second office in Fernandina Beach. That takes in Jacksonville, the beaches, Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee, Callahan, Hilliard, Orange Park, St. Johns and St. Augustine. If you are just outside that footprint, call or text us and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you.
