Getting roofing quotes in Jacksonville
Fill in the form above and our matching partner Networx will pass your request to up to three Jacksonville-area roofing companies that cover your ZIP code. Each one contacts you directly, looks at the roof and gives you its own quote. It costs you nothing, and you don’t have to hire any of them.
In Jacksonville, two quotes for the same roof often differ because of what the code requires on your particular house, not because one roofer is cheaper. Where you live matters too. Jacksonville and Duval County are one government, so most addresses permit through one city office, but the beach cities and Baldwin run their own. The sections below show a fair Jacksonville price, the dates that change the job, and which office and rules apply to your address.
How much does a new roof cost in Jacksonville?
A new architectural shingle roof in Jacksonville costs about $6 to $8 per square foot installed, or roughly $13,800 to $18,400 on a typical 2,000 sq ft house with about 2,300 sq ft of roof. That’s at the low end for Florida, and above our national roof cost guide, where the same shingles run $4.50 to $7.50.
| Roof area | Architectural shingles ($6–$8/sq ft) |
Standing seam metal ($10–$16/sq ft) |
Concrete tile ($11–$20/sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,800 sq ft | $10,800–$14,400 | $18,000–$28,800 | $19,800–$36,000 |
| 2,300 sq ft | $13,800–$18,400 | $23,000–$36,800 | $25,300–$46,000 |
| 3,000 sq ft | $18,000–$24,000 | $30,000–$48,000 | $33,000–$60,000 |
Compare quotes on roof area, not house size. A roof is usually 10 to 20 percent bigger than the floor it covers, and more on a steep one, so check that each roofer measured roughly the same area; a quote that looks cheap sometimes just counts less roof. Then look at decking. Nobody knows how much is rotten until the old roof is off, so a fair quote gives a price per sheet rather than “as needed”.
Shingle rates are RoofingCalc’s Florida cost data’s north Florida figures, updated March 2025; its statewide range is $6 to $8.50. Metal and tile rates are statewide, because RoofingCalc doesn’t split them by region.
Why two Jacksonville quotes for the same roof don’t match
Start with the year your house was built. If it was before the Florida Building Code took effect on March 1, 2002, a reroof has to include re-nailing the roof deck and a secondary water barrier. In a wind-borne debris region, a home valued at $300,000 or more must also put up to 15% of the reroof cost into stronger roof-to-wall connections. One Jacksonville roofer may have priced all of that and another none of it, so ask each one, in writing, which of these items the price includes. The University of Florida’s wind speed and debris region maps show whether your address is in a debris region.
Then the year the roof was last replaced. A roof done under the 2007 code or later is exempt from the old 25% rule, so a repair to part of it doesn’t force a whole new roof. If a roofer recommends full replacement after damage to one section of a newer roof, ask why.
Our Florida guide sets out each of these rules and its source.
Reroofing in Riverside-Avondale and Springfield
Jacksonville’s local historic districts, including Riverside-Avondale and Springfield, add a step for exterior work. According to the city’s Certificate of Appropriateness process, most work is approved by staff in the Historic Preservation Section, and bigger changes go to the Historic Preservation Commission. The Riverside-Avondale design guidelines say routine maintenance doesn’t need review, and that a feature too far gone to repair must be replaced with one that matches the old in design, color and texture.
A like-for-like shingle reroof is usually the easy case, and a switch to metal or tile is where review gets real. Call the Historic Preservation Section on (904) 255-7800 before you sign, and ask each roofer whether they’ve handled a historic district job before.
How matching works, and how to check a Jacksonville roofer
When you request quotes, your details go to Networx, our matching partner. Networx screens contractors before they join its network, and we don’t check them ourselves, so a few minutes of checking is worth it. Florida makes that easy, because roofers have to be licensed. Look up each company on the state licensing site and confirm the license is active and is a roofing or general contractor license. A certified contractor can work anywhere in Florida; a registered one only where they qualified.
Watch the deposit. A roofer who takes more than 10% up front must apply for permits within 30 days and start within 90 days of the permits being issued, under section 489.126. Get the payment schedule in writing. Our questions to ask a roofer cover the rest.
Roof repair and inspection in Jacksonville
Not every leak needs a new roof. Most roof repairs cost about $400 to $2,000 nationally, and a leak with no damage inside usually runs $360 to $1,550; our roof repair cost guide has prices for each common problem. If the roof was replaced under the 2007 code or later, a repair to part of it only has to bring that part up to code.
Two kinds of inspection are easy to mix up. A roof inspection tells you the roof’s condition and is often free when a roofer is quoting work. A wind mitigation inspection fills in the state’s form for your insurer and is what earns wind discounts; the state’s My Safe Florida Home program has offered these free to eligible homeowners.
Metal roofing in Jacksonville
Standing seam metal costs about $10 to $16 per square foot in Florida, or roughly $23,000–$36,800 on a typical 2,000 sq ft house. It lasts far longer than shingles, so over a full lifetime the cost per year comes out close. That makes metal a question of how long you’ll stay rather than a cheaper roof; our metal vs shingles comparison works through the numbers.
In Riverside-Avondale or Springfield, a change from shingles to metal is a change of material, so check with the Historic Preservation Section first. Ask your insurer, too, how a metal roof would be recorded on your wind mitigation form, so you know what it does to your premium before you pay for it.
Permits and insurance claims in Jacksonville
Your roofer should pull the building permit. For most of Duval County, that’s the City of Jacksonville’s Building Inspection Division at 214 North Hogan Street, which requires every permit application to go in online through JaxEPICS and answers questions on (904) 255-8500. Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Baldwin have their own building departments, so a quote for a house there should name that city’s permit. Ask for the permit number and check it yourself before work starts.
If insurance is paying, three Florida rules apply. Notice of a claim has to reach your insurer within one year of the date of loss. On a policy issued on or after January 1, 2023, you can’t sign your benefits over to a roofer. And a roofer can’t interpret your policy for you unless they’re a licensed public adjuster. Our guide to getting your roof paid by insurance covers the process.
