Jacksonville's Commercial Roofing Contractor — GAF Master Elite, BBB A+

Jacksonville is a port city with one of the most varied commercial real estates in Florida. Distribution centers off I-95, office parks along Baymeadows Road, older retail on Beach Boulevard, historic buildings in Riverside and Avondale. Each building type carries different roofing demands — drainage design, wind uplift ratings, insulation requirements, membrane compatibility. JA Edwards of America has been working this market since 2004.

JA Edwards of America is a licensed commercial roofing contractor serving Jacksonville, FL (License CCC1334804, CGC1534283). We install and replace TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems on warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, and medical facilities throughout Duval County. Jacksonville office: 4570 St Johns Ave Suite A. Call (904) 367-2913 for a free inspection.

Jacksonville's consolidated city-county government runs permitting differently than most Florida markets. The City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division handles commercial roofing permits — and the timelines, inspection checkpoints, and closeout requirements are specific to Duval County. Our Jacksonville crew knows this process from the inside. You get the full permit closeout package at the end of the job.

TPO membrane roofing Jacksonville commercial building

  • Fully adhered or mechanically fastened options
  • White membrane can help reduce cooling load
  • Drainage and flashing details specified per structure

How It Works

From First Call to Final Permit

Jacksonville's consolidated city-county permitting process has its own checkpoints and timelines. Here is exactly what to expect from the first call through Duval County final inspection — and what we handle so you do not have to.

1

Free Inspection and Written Report

A licensed inspector visits the property, assesses the current system, and delivers a written report with photos. No cost, no obligation, no pressure.

2

Detailed, Itemized Estimate

A line-by-line estimate specifying the exact membrane product, underlayment, flashing details, permit fees, and warranty terms. Not a number on a card.

3

Permit Pull and Scheduling

We pull all Duval County and City of Jacksonville permits. Scheduling confirmed around your operations, crew arrival confirmed the day before work starts.

4

Installation and Permit Closeout

Installation by a trained crew. County inspection completed. You receive full permit closeout documentation — the paperwork that protects you at sale and at warranty claim.

How to Choose

JAEA vs. Typical Contractors vs. Storm Chasers

Every contractor bidding your job looks similar on the surface. The differences show up in the license, the warranty, the permit, and whether they're still around two years later.

Why Property Owners Choose Us

Six Reasons Jacksonville Businesses Keep Calling Us Back

01

Verified Florida Licenses

CGC1534283 and CCC1334804 — both searchable at DBPR.MyFloridaLicense.com. Florida requires a CCC roofing license specifically. A CGC general contractor license does not authorize roofing work. In Jacksonville we see unlicensed work regularly on older commercial buildings in Arlington and Westside. Verify before you sign anything.

02

GAF Master Elite — Top 2% Nationally

There are hundreds of roofing contractors operating in Duval County. Fewer than 2% of US roofers qualify for GAF Master Elite status. The practical result: we can help eligible commercial projects access stronger manufacturer warranty or guarantee options than a standard contractor can typically offer. Coverage depends on the roof system, membrane, specs and manufacturer requirements.

03

BBB A+ Accreditation

Jacksonville has a large construction market. It also has a long history of contractors who collect a deposit and disappear, or do substandard work and become unreachable. Our BBB A+ rating is verifiable and requires ongoing compliance. Check it directly at the BBB Northeast Florida chapter.

04

Physical Jacksonville Office and Local Team

4570 St Johns Ave Suite A, Jacksonville FL 32210. Not an answering service routing calls to Orlando. A crew that has worked Duval County permits, dealt with the City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division, and knows the difference between beach-adjacent wind uplift requirements and inland Westside specs.

05

20+ Years in Florida, Growing in Jacksonville

The Jacksonville office is newer than Tampa and Orlando, which is reflected in our 25 reviews. The Florida-wide track record since 2004 is what backs it up. Ask us for references from completed Jacksonville commercial jobs before you commit.

06

Financing Available

Through Slice and Improvifi for qualified commercial projects. Useful on larger jobs where insurance claim processing creates a cash flow gap between project completion and insurer payment. Ask when you call.

We had our roof replaced by JA Edwards of America recently, and honestly the whole process was way easier than we expected. Delaney was great the entire time. He checked in with us, explained everything clearly, and made sure we felt comfortable through every step.

The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and the roof came out beautiful. The cleanup was also impressive. You always hear horror stories about roofing companies leaving nails and trash everywhere, but our property was spotless after they finished.

Super thankful for Delaney and the JA Edwards team. Definitely recommend them if you need a roof replacement.

We recently had JA Edwards work on our office building, and honestly the experience was great. The communication was solid the whole time, the crew was respectful, and everything moved way faster than we expected.

They handled everything professionally and made the process a lot less stressful than dealing with contractors usually is. The roof came out great and the property was left clean after the job was done.

Definitely a company we’d use again.

Adam and the company stuck with us through the whole process (insurance companies aren’t always eager to help). We were able to get our roof replaced because of them. The crew that worked on our house was very quick and did a very thorough clean-up.

We had an outstanding, top-tier experience working with Liam Cates at JA Edwards of America. Initially, our insurance company pushed back on replacing our 72-square roof, but Liam stepped in, took charge of the claim, and seamlessly secured a full replacement. He truly stands out in the roofing industry—not just for his expertise, but for his genuine care for homeowners and commitment to doing what’s right. This is the first company we’ve ever felt confident referring. Their communication was excellent, and the quality of their workmanship exceeded our expectations. Our new roof looks incredible. Thank you Liam!

We had an incredible experience with Lucas Samartino from JAEA. The attention to detail and service was top notch. He followed up on any concerns or suggestions we had even during weekends. The installers were very respectful and detailed. The roof looks amazing and they clean the surroundings from debrie and nails after completing the job. I will recommend their service and prducts to anyone. We had everything done a month ago. Great job so far.
Thanks a lot.

FAQ

Common Questions About Commercial Roofing in Jacksonville

Most commercial buildings in Jacksonville use low-slope or flat roofing systems. TPO membrane is the most widely installed option due to heat reflectivity, UV resistance, and warranty availability. EPDM and modified bitumen are common on older structures. Jacksonville's coastal humidity and hurricane exposure make material selection and installation quality more critical than in inland markets.
Yes. Florida requires a CCC (Roofing Contractor) license for commercial and residential roofing work. A general contractor (CGC) license does not authorize roofing work in Florida. Always verify the specific license type at DBPR.MyFloridaLicense.com before signing any contract. JA Edwards holds both CCC1334804 and CGC1534283, both currently active.
Yes. Duval County and the City of Jacksonville require permits for commercial roofing projects, including full replacements and significant repairs. The licensed roofing contractor is responsible for pulling the permit. Work done without a permit creates problems when selling the building or filing an insurance claim. JA Edwards pulls all permits and provides closeout documentation at job completion.
Warranty coverage on commercial roofing depends on the membrane type, system design, installation details and manufacturer eligibility. On qualifying projects, JA Edwards can help you review available GAF commercial warranty or guarantee options before you sign, so the scope, coverage and limitations are clear in writing.
A typical commercial building of 5,000 to 15,000 sq ft takes two to five days of installation. Duval County permitting adds several business days to one to two weeks before work begins, depending on current permit office volume. We provide a realistic schedule at the estimate stage and confirm crew arrival the day before work starts.
Sometimes. A reflective coating system can extend the life of a structurally sound commercial roof by 10 to 15 years at a fraction of replacement cost. The key qualifier is "structurally sound" — a coating over compromised decking will not hold. We assess restoration viability honestly before recommending any scope of work, and we will tell you plainly if replacement is the better path.
Start with a professional inspection before contacting your insurer. A written report from a licensed contractor documenting damage cause and scope is the foundation of a successful commercial claim. Florida has specific timelines for post-storm claims — do not wait. JA Edwards provides inspection reports formatted for insurance submission and coordinates directly with commercial adjusters.
Ask for the Florida CCC license number and verify it at DBPR.MyFloridaLicense.com. Ask for insurance certificates sent directly from the carrier, not a photocopy. Ask who pulls the Duval County permit. Ask for a written itemized estimate specifying the exact membrane product, underlayment, warranty type and duration, and permit fees. A contractor who cannot answer these questions directly is not operating at a professional standard.
