Roofingthe trade we're known for
Replacement, repair, maintenance and skylights across shingle, metal and low-slope systems, installed by crews who train every quarter and backed by GAF's Silver Pledge on qualifying work.
Roofing iswhere we started
Our team is dedicated to being the best there is. As your neighborhood contractor, we want to provide the best solutions for your property. Whether it is a small repair or a complicated replacement, we stay as educated as possible with our certified systems to keep our high standards on your project.
Here in Northeast Florida a roof takes everything from heavy summer rain to hurricane wind, then bakes in the sun in between. That is a hard service life, and it is why the details (fastening pattern, flashing, ventilation, the laps on a low-slope membrane) decide whether a roof reaches its rated lifespan or fails early.
Because we hold a Certified Building Contractor licence as well as a Certified Roofing Contractor licence, rotten decking, failed framing or a wall detail that turns out to be the real leak does not mean starting over with a second company.
GAF Certified Plusand the Silver Pledge warranty
As a certified contractor with various material suppliers, we prefer roofing products from GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and we are able to offer the GAF Silver Pledge Warranty. This program provides first-rate coverage as well as the satisfaction of knowing your roof is going to be securely protected during its lifetime.
The Silver Pledge is an extended warranty rated as one of GAF’s premier plans, which means your roofing contractor must be certified and backed by the manufacturer to install and follow up on your roof. We are proud to be a Certified Plus Contractor with GAF, and we are glad to provide a warranty knowing the coverage will protect both your roof and your peace of mind.
Roofing servicesfrom replacement to upkeep
Five roofing services plus the coating work we do on aging commercial roofs. Most people arrive at one of these and end up somewhere else once we have been on the roof, which is fine, because we would rather sell you the right thing than the thing you called about.
Trainingevery quarter, on purpose
As a homeowner you might reasonably wonder why training matters. After all, is a roof not just a roof? The truth is the roofing industry keeps changing. Products evolve, building codes get updated, and manufacturers release systems with specific installation requirements attached to their warranties.
Every quarter we select a dedicated training and attend hands-on workshops. We train with our suppliers and industry professionals regularly to make sure we are doing things the right way, the first time, and we complete OSHA safety training, CPR and basic first aid, because roofing is dangerous work and the crew on your property should be prepared.
Shingle repair & replacement
Techniques and product lines vary by manufacturer, so we stay current on best practice for installing and maintaining all the major brands.
Metal roofing & flashing
Panel installation, trimming and fastening done properly, because that is what prevents leaks and rusting down the line.
TPO roofing installation
The common single-ply system on flat commercial roofs. It rewards precision, so we train with the top suppliers on installing and repairing it.
Polyglass cold-apply systems
A specialty low-slope system that requires manufacturer-specific training. We work directly with Polyglass so it goes down the way they intend.
Who we roof for
Homeowners, property managers, real estate agents, custom builders and business owners. A single-family re-roof and a multi-family community run through the same office, the same permitting process and the same crews. The difference is the schedule, and how much coordination the occupants need.
If you are a builder or a GC, our project management team works exclusively with trade partners on take-offs and bids, and our standard is pricing back within 48 hours.
Where we roof
We roof across Nassau County, Duval County, Clay County, St. Johns County. Our main office is in Jacksonville and we keep a second office in Fernandina Beach, which is why Nassau County jobs get the same response time as Duval ones rather than being treated as a drive.
Coastal exposure changes what we specify. A roof on Amelia Island lives with salt air and unbroken wind; the same house plan inland in Callahan does not. We spec to the site, not to a template.
Roofingquestions we get asked
Yes. Advocate Roofing and Construction is a fully licensed and insured Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC1335155) and Certified Building Contractor (CBC1270530) in the State of Florida. Both numbers can be checked with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Holding the building licence as well as the roofing one is what lets us handle structural work that turns up mid-project instead of stopping at the roof deck.
We install shingle, metal and low-slope systems, and we repair tile roofs. Shingle is the most common choice on residential homes here, metal is growing fast for its lifespan and energy performance, and low-slope membranes cover the flat sections found on commercial buildings, porches and additions. If you are not sure which is right for your building, we will walk you through the trade-offs with pricing for each.
Yes. We are a GAF Certified Plus contractor in Florida, which is what allows us to register the GAF Silver Pledge warranty on qualifying installations. The Silver Pledge covers material defects and our workmanship, and it can only be offered by a contractor GAF has certified and backs. Your specific coverage depends on the system installed, and we put the terms in writing with the estimate.
We can typically have a residential roof replaced in one to two days depending on the size and complexity of your home. Steep pitches, multiple layers of tear-off, rotten decking and weather can all add time. We give you the expected schedule before we start and tell you if anything on site changes it.
Yes. We work with all county, city and municipality building departments across Northeast Florida for permits, and we will never perform unpermitted work on your property. Permitting is what gets the roof inspected during installation and again at completion, and that inspection record is what your manufacturer warranty and your insurer will want to see later.
Both, and we will tell you honestly which one your roof needs. Most of the repairs we do are on roofs somebody else installed. We aim to have a repair inspection out within 48 hours, there is no minimum trip fee, and you get photos of whatever we find whether or not you book the work.
We roof across Nassau County, Duval County, Clay County, St. Johns County. That takes in 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 and we run a second office in Fernandina Beach, which is why Nassau County jobs get covered as quickly as Duval ones.
