Trusted Roof Replacement for Jacksonville Homeowners
A roof replacement in Jacksonville is a full tear-off of your old roofing material down to the deck, followed by installing a new underlayment and shingle or membrane system. Most asphalt shingle replacements in the Jacksonville area run between $8,500 and $16,000, depending on the roof’s size, pitch, and material grade. Birchbark Roofing Jacksonville has handled hundreds of replacements across Duval County since joining the Cedarwell family in 2000, and we put the price in writing before the first nail goes down. Call (904) 604-7914 to talk through what your roof needs.
Roof Installation
Roof Installation is the complete build-up of a roofing system on a home, either as a replacement for an old roof or as the first roof on new construction. You need it when your existing roof has reached the end of its service life, when you’re building an addition, or when you’re putting up a new home in Jacksonville’s newer subdivisions. Birchbark Roofing Jacksonville handles the full scope: permit coordination, tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, and shingle or membrane installation, with a written price for the entire job before anything starts. Expect a typical single-family roof installation in Jacksonville to fall between $8,500 and $16,000, with the final number driven by square footage, roof pitch, and material selection.
Full system build-up
We install everything from the deck up, not just the shingles you see from the street. That includes synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys, drip edge, and step flashing at every wall intersection. Skipping any of these layers is how Jacksonville roofs fail early, especially during August downpours.
New construction roofing
Building a new home in St. Johns or Nocatee means the roof has to be right the first time. We coordinate with your builder or GC, pull the permit, and schedule our crew so the roof is dried in before interior work gets far along.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor
A Roof Replacement Contractor is the licensed company that removes your old roofing, inspects the deck beneath it, and installs a new roofing system designed for Jacksonville’s heat, humidity, and hurricane-season wind loads. You need one when a repair stops making financial sense: when leaks recur, when shingles are curling or losing granules, or when the roof has simply aged past its useful life. Birchbark Roofing Jacksonville is that contractor, and we do it with background-checked, uniformed crews who show up on time and answer to Erik Lindgren, who owns this location and holds it to the Cedarwell Care Promise on every job. A typical roof replacement contractor project in Jacksonville runs $8,500 to $16,000, and you’ll see your exact number in writing before we begin.
What the contractor actually controls
The quality of a roof replacement comes down to more than the shingle brand. We control the fastening pattern, the underlayment choice, the flashing details, and the clean-up. Those are the things that determine whether a roof lasts 15 years or 30.
Choosing the right crew
Jacksonville homeowners should ask any roof replacement contractor two questions: who is on the crew, and what does the clean-up look like. We can answer both before you sign: uniformed, background-checked techs, and a photo of the completed clean-up before the crew leaves your property.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common roofing project in Jacksonville, where roughly 9 out of 10 homes wear architectural asphalt shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, Atlas, Tamko, IKO, or CertainTeed. You need it when your shingles are cracked, curling, losing granules, or when you’re seeing dark streaks from algae that indicate the shingle surface is breaking down. Birchbark Roofing Jacksonville installs asphalt shingle systems with a full underlayment package, and our crews replace shingles for Jacksonville homes at a typical cost of $8,500 to $14,000 for a standard single-story home. Architectural shingles with higher wind ratings run toward the upper end; three-tab runs lower but isn’t what we recommend for Florida’s wind exposure.
Architectural vs. three-tab
Architectural shingles are thicker, carry higher wind ratings, and are what we install on most Jacksonville homes. They cost more than three-tab, but the difference is usually $1,200 to $2,500 on a full replacement, and the wind rating matters when a named storm sits offshore.
Underlayment details that matter
In Jacksonville, the underlayment does the real waterproofing work. We use synthetic underlayment on every asphalt shingle replacement, along with ice and water shield in valleys and at penetrations. That’s the difference between a roof that shrugs off a summer squall and one that leaks into a bedroom closet.
New Roof Installation
New Roof Installation means putting a roof on a home that doesn’t currently have one, or replacing an existing roof so completely that the result is functionally new: new decking where needed, new underlayment, new flashing, new shingles. You need it when building a home, adding a room, or when an old roof has deteriorated to the point that the decking underneath is compromised. Birchbark Roofing Jacksonville performs new roof installation with the same written-price commitment as every other job: you know the dollar figure before work starts, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the result. A new roof installation in Jacksonville generally runs between $9,000 and $16,000 for a typical suburban home, with steeper pitches and complex rooflines pushing the number higher.
Decking and structural inspection
Before we put anything new on, we inspect the decking with a critical eye. Rotted or delaminated plywood is a common find in Jacksonville’s humid climate, and replacing it before the new roof goes on is far cheaper than discovering it after a leak. We document what we find and show you before we proceed.
Permits and inspections
Jacksonville and the surrounding counties require permits for new roof installation, and we pull them ourselves. We also schedule the inspections. You don’t chase paperwork; the crew shows up, does the work, and the roof is signed off before we consider the job done.
Reroofing
Reroofing is the process of layering a new roof over an existing one, or of doing a tear-off replacement, depending on what your roof and local code allow. In Jacksonville, reroofing usually means a full tear-off because Florida building code generally doesn’t allow shingle-over-shingle, and because our humidity rots underlying layers faster than dry climates. You’d consider reroofing when the existing shingles fail but the decking is still sound, or when a portion of the home (like a garage or porch roof) has failed while the main house is fine. Birchbark Roofing Jacksonville performs reroofing at a typical cost of $7,500 to $14,000, with partial reroofs like garage roofs running lower. We give you a written number before any work begins.
Full vs. partial reroofing
Some Jacksonville homes need only a section replaced: a sunroom, a garage, or a low-slope porch. We’ll quote exactly what needs replacing and nothing more. A partial reroof costs less, and we won’t upsell a full replacement if your main roof has years of life left.
When reroofing beats another repair
If you’ve called a roofer out twice in the last year for leaks in the same general area, another patch isn’t the answer. That’s when reroofing the affected slope or the entire roof makes better financial sense. We’ll show you the math on paper and let you decide.
Flat Roof Replacement
Flat Roof Replacement covers the low-slope and flat sections of Jacksonville homes: porch roofs, carports, additions, and some mid-century ranches in Arlington and San Marco that were built with flat or nearly flat roofing. You need it when you see ponding water, cracks in the membrane, or ceiling stains in the room below. Birchbark Roofing Jacksonville replaces flat roofs with modern membrane systems from Atlas and Boral, and the cost for a flat roof replacement in Jacksonville typically runs $6,500 to $12,000 depending on the membrane type and the square footage. Flat roofs fail differently than pitched roofs, and they need a contractor who understands slope and drainage, not just someone who can roll out a membrane.
Membrane options and drainage
On flat or low-slope Jacksonville roofs, the membrane is the entire waterproofing system. We install single-ply TPO and PVC membranes, along with modified bitumen where the existing setup calls for it. Drainage matters as much as the membrane; a flat roof that ponds after rain will fail early no matter what material covers it.
Flat roof maintenance and coatings
Some flat roofs can be extended for a few years with a silicone or acrylic coating, but only if the membrane is still sound. If the membrane is brittle or cracking, a coating is money wasted. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in and quote you the replacement only when it’s genuinely needed.
Brands We Service
We install and replace roofs using materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. Homeowners often ask us which brand is best for Jacksonville, and the honest answer is that the installer matters more than the brand name. What we can tell you is how each performs in our climate. IKO and Atlas architectural shingles, for example, handle high heat without excessive granule loss, which is common in Jacksonville’s summer sun. Tamko’s Heritage line holds up well to wind, and Boral’s membrane products work well on the flat sections of low-slope additions.
Whether you have a strong preference for an Owens Corning or CertainTeed shingle, or you just want us to spec the best material for your budget, we can help. Erik Lindgren and the crew will talk through the differences honestly and put your choice in writing before the work begins.

- Water stains on ceilings or interior walls. A brown ring on a ceiling means water is getting in and sitting. Even if it only appears after a Jacksonville downpour, that water is wetting insulation and decking in the meantime, and the damage compounds with every storm.
- Granules collecting in gutters or at downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they break down, and seeing them pile up at the downspout is a late-stage warning sign. Once the granule layer is gone, the shingle’s UV protection is gone too, and the roof ages fast.
- Curled, lifted, or missing shingles after a storm. Shingles that cup or lift let wind get underneath, and one missing shingle in a Jacksonville storm can become 20 within an hour. If you can see lifted edges from the ground, the roof needs a professional look before the next system rolls through.
- Sagging sections in the roofline. A visible dip in the roof deck is a structural red flag, not a cosmetic one. It usually means the decking or framing beneath has absorbed water and started to fail, which a new roof alone won’t fix. That’s a call-a-professional-today situation.
- Daylight showing through the attic boards. If you’re in the attic and can see light filtering through the decking, the roof isn’t sealed. The same gaps that let light through let water, humidity, and pests through, and they’ll only widen until the roof is replaced.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Walkthrough and written estimate. We come out, inspect the roof, take measurements, and talk with you about material options. You get a written price in dollars before any work is scheduled, and that price doesn’t change once we start unless we uncover something structural and get your approval in writing.
- 2
Permits and scheduling. We pull all required Jacksonville or county permits ourselves and handle the inspection schedule. We’ll confirm the date and tell you what to expect, including when the crew will arrive and how long the tear-off will take.
- 3
Protection inside and out. The crew puts down shoe covers at the door and drop cloths through the hallways where they’ll walk. We coordinate the door schedule with you if the dog needs to stay inside, and we use pet-safe product choices where there’s a choice. The family’s home takes priority over the roofing.
- 4
Tear-off, deck inspection, and new roof installation. We strip the old roof, inspect the decking, and replace any rotted sections before the new underlayment goes down. Then the new shingles or membrane go on according to manufacturer specs and Florida building code for wind resistance.
- 5
Clean-up and photo proof. Before the crew leaves, we run a magnet bar over the yard, clear the gutters, and walk the property for debris. Then we take a photo of the completed clean-up and send it to you. If the roof isn’t right within the 365-Day Done Right Promise window, we make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in Jacksonville
What is Roof Replacement?
Roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roofing down to the deck, followed by installing a new underlayment, flashing, and shingle or membrane system. It’s different from a repair because it replaces the entire water-shedding surface rather than patching a single point of failure. Most Jacksonville homes need a full replacement when the shingles have aged past 20 to 25 years or when storm damage covers a large percentage of the roof.
How long does a roof replacement take in Jacksonville?
Most single-family roof replacements in Jacksonville take one to two days for the tear-off and installation, depending on the size of the roof and the complexity of the decking work. The full process, including permit review and scheduling, usually spans one to two weeks. We’ll give you the timeline in writing before you schedule.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Jacksonville?
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement in Jacksonville runs $8,500 to $16,000, with flat roofs on the lower end and large or steep pitched roofs on the higher end. Your exact price depends on square footage, decking condition, material grade, and the scope of any structural work. Call (904) 604-7914 for a free, no-obligation estimate, and you’ll get a written number before any work starts.
Do you service GAF, Owens Corning, and IKO roofs?
Yes, we install and replace roofs with materials from GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, CertainTeed, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. We’ll help you choose the material that fits your budget and Jacksonville’s wind and heat requirements, and we’ll put the price in writing before the first day of work.
Can you help in an emergency?
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights and weekends. If your roof is actively leaking or a storm has torn shingles off, call (904) 604-7914 and you’ll talk to a person, not a voicemail tree. We can help you assess the urgency and schedule a professional inspection.
What warranty does Birchbark Roofing provide?
Every roof replacement we perform is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we make it right within the first year at no cost to you. That promise is stamped on every job as part of the Cedarwell Care Promise. Your material warranty from the manufacturer is separate and depends on the shingle or membrane you choose.
How should I prepare my home for a roof replacement?
Move vehicles out of the driveway so the crew can stage materials, take down anything fragile hanging on interior walls (vibrations from the tear-off can shake picture frames), and let us know if you have pets that need a door schedule. We handle protecting the floors and cleaning the property; you handle making sure the dog is inside or out when we coordinate the schedule. We’ll send a photo of the completed clean-up before we leave.
