A roof's pitch is its rise in inches over twelve inches of run. Steeper roofs like 9/12 need roof jacks and harness work, so they cost more. We assume 5/12 for Florida; pick yours above.

Budget $10,550 to $16,080 to strip and re-shingle a typical 1,960 sq. ft. single-story house in Jacksonville, FL with standard asphalt. That covers a 5/12 roof of about 2,215 sq. ft. - 22.1 squares - with tear-off of the current shingles, new materials and the crew.

Divide it out and the installed rate is $580.76 per square; a square is the hundred square feet roofers quote by. The same roof in architectural 50-year shingles is $11,730 to $17,870. Metal begins with steel shingles at roughly $22,700.

Compared with $10,110 to $15,410 statewide, the Jacksonville market adds about $540. The Jacksonville figures cover its 48 ZIP codes in Duval and Saint Johns counties.

Jacksonville, FL Roof Replacement: Price per Material

The roof stays the same size in every row below; only the covering changes. Each price includes tear-off of one layer, and the range shows how far honest bids usually spread.

These figures are not separate guesses. They run through our roof replacement calculator, metal roof calculator and flat roof calculator with the South Atlantic regional factor, which lands pitched roofs 2% below the U.S. average.

Price per Year of Roof

The real cost of a roof is price divided by the years it lasts. Hover a bar: metal costs more up front and less per year.

Why Jacksonville, FL Roofing Bids Differ

When two quotes for the same house are far apart, the gap is usually scope. Here is what each common variable is worth on the 22.1-square roof above:

• Removal. Stripping one layer is worth about $3,090 here. Ask the roofer to confirm the layer count up front; a second one adds about $2,000.
• Hips and valleys. Take a basic gable as the baseline. A hip layout costs roughly $1,270 above it; dormers and valleys scattered across the roof cost about $2,150 above it.
• Building height. Same roof, two stories up: about $920 more, mostly labor and safety staging.
• Openings. Plan near $350 per skylight that gets replaced or added while the roof is open.
• Hidden rot. Water-damaged boards appear once the roof is open; settle the per-sheet replacement price in writing first.
• Metal details. Drip edge, step flashing and vent boots are cheap to replace during a re-roof; make sure each quote says whether they are new or reused. For gutters, see the gutter cost calculator.
• Permit and disposal. Fees depend on the town. Confirm the bid includes both the permit and the dumpster.

Put every quote on one sheet with the same rows - removal, underlayment, ice barrier, flashing, ventilation, decking, permit - and the real differences show.

Florida Climate and Roof Wear

Region 5 on the map, Florida sees average summer highs near 93°F and winter readings from about 70°F by day to 47°F at night. Local terrain shifts these numbers. What that means for materials and installation in Florida:

Where Shingles Live Longest: the Climate Bell

Asphalt life peaks in the moderate middle (Region 3) and falls toward BOTH ends of the map above - cold regions destroy shingles with ice dams, hot ones bake them. Note the middle columns: shingles marketed as “lifetime” are good for about 25 real-world years at best - Florida is Region 5. Hover any column.

Metal vs. Shingles in Jacksonville, FL

Metal roofs come in a few families, and they do different jobs. The prices below are for a typical 1,960 sq. ft. single-story house in Jacksonville, FL.

• Standing seam: $30,260 to $46,120. Long panels run from ridge to eave and lock together at raised seams, with the clips hidden underneath. No screws go through the face, so there are far fewer places for a leak to start. On this roof it runs about $22,610 more than architectural shingles.
• Steel shingles: $22,700 to $34,600. Aluminum shingles: $25,100 to $38,260. The look of a regular roof with the life of metal. These pieces work on steep or complicated roofs. Steel resists dents; aluminum resists corrosion.
• Stone-coated steel: $30,900 to $47,100. Steel panels covered in crushed stone and shaped like clay tile or wood shake. The texture hides hail marks and softens rain noise.
• Copper: custom quote only. Copper sits above every other metal in price and is bid job by job, so it has no line in our calculator. It is the roof of old churches and city landmarks. On a house it makes the most sense on a small, visible spot or a historic home.

Near salt water, choose aluminum or steel with a coating rated for coastal sites; cut edges and scratches on plain steel rust first. Metal pays off for long-term owners. If a move is likely within a few years, architectural shingles usually give better value. Price a specific panel, gauge and finish with the metal roof calculator.

When to Re-Roof in Jacksonville, FL

Summer highs near 93°F make midsummer hard on crews and on soft shingles, which scuff underfoot. Fall through spring is the better window, with winter highs near 70°F.

Storm chasers follow hail and wind. Hire a roofer with a local office and proof of insurance, and never sign over insurance proceeds on the spot.

Pricing Low-Slope Roofs in Jacksonville, FL

Low-slope sections need a sealed membrane instead of shingles. Priced across the whole 1,960 sq. ft. footprint, a membrane roof in Jacksonville, FL costs:

• EPDM rubber: $15,590 to $20,240. Synthetic rubber, usually black, laid in wide sheets with glued or taped seams. It shrugs off hail and hard frost and is easy to patch, so it suits garages, porches and roofs nobody sees.
• TPO, 60-mil: $13,420 to $17,420. The bright white membrane on many new commercial and home flat roofs. Hot-air welded seams turn the sheets into one skin. Pick it for a sunny roof over living space.
• PVC, 60-mil: $16,220 to $21,070. The premium white membrane: welded seams, a strong fire rating, and good resistance to puddles and chemicals. It fits roofs that carry foot traffic or hold water after a storm.

On this footprint TPO comes in lowest, EPDM sits in the middle and PVC costs the most. Tear-off of one existing layer and new polyiso board are part of each figure. A small section will price higher per square foot. The flat roof calculator handles other membranes and insulation levels.

Common Questions About Re-Roofing in Jacksonville, FL

Is an old roof covered by my insurer?

Only for sudden damage such as wind, hail or a falling tree, never for plain wear. Certain policies cover an aging roof at its depreciated worth rather than full replacement. On a roof that costs $10,550 to $16,080 to replace, that gap is large, so check your settlement terms. In Florida, also check the wind and hail deductible - many policies set it as a percentage of the home's insured value.

How do I estimate my roof size?

Take the footprint (1,960 sq. ft. here) and adjust for pitch (5/12): about 22.1 squares, or 2,215 sq. ft., counting overhang and waste. Get the square count on every quote.

Is a roofing permit required in Florida?

Rules vary by town, but a full re-roof usually needs a permit. Expect your roofer to obtain it and to schedule any inspection.

How many days will my roof replacement take?

For roughly 22.1 squares, a full crew usually finishes asphalt in a few days. Metal panels and roofs with many valleys take longer.
