Tile Roofing in
Jacksonville, FL
Clay and concrete tile roofing for Jacksonville's established neighborhoods and newer Duval County communities. JA Edwards of America has been operating in Northeast Florida long enough to know that the tile roofs in Mandarin, San Marco, and Ortega age differently from what you find in newer subdivisions, and we scope the work accordingly.

Jacksonville Has Two Very Different Tile Roof Markets, and They Require Different Thinking
The older neighborhoods along the St. Johns River, from Ortega and Riverside through San Marco and Mandarin, have clay tile roofs that were installed when the homes were built in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Many of those roofs still have the original tile in reasonable shape, but the underlayment beneath them has long since reached the end of its useful life. The tile looks fine from the street. The water damage starts at the felt layer, and by the time it shows up inside the house, it has usually been going on for longer than the homeowner realizes.
The newer communities in Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, and parts of St. Johns County tell a different story. Those homes were built with concrete tile during the early 2000s construction surge, and that tile is now at the age where insurance carriers in Northeast Florida are starting to apply pressure. The products are different, the substrate conditions are different, and the inspection approach needs to reflect that.
What does tile roof replacement cost in Jacksonville? Most residential tile roof replacements in Duval County run between $16,000 and $38,000 depending on roof size, pitch, tile material, and underlayment system. Homes with original clay tile in established neighborhoods may have different structural considerations that affect scope and cost. JA Edwards of America offers free inspections out of our Jacksonville office at 4570 St Johns Ave, Suite A, and will give you a written assessment before any commitment.
Our Jacksonville operation is backed by the same credentials as every JAEA office: GAF Master Elite with President's Club 3-Star, Florida roofing and general contractor licenses, and BBB A+ accreditation. Those credentials speak to the company behind the work. On a tile roof, though, the decision still starts with the tile, underlayment, deck and flashing in front of us, because those components do not always age at the same rate.
Tile Roofing Services in Jacksonville
From re-felting a 1980s clay tile roof in Mandarin to a full concrete tile replacement after storm damage in Ponte Vedra, here is what the Jacksonville team handles.
Full Tile Roof Replacement
Complete tear-off and installation of a new tile roof system with code-compliant underlayment. We pull the permit through Duval County and handle the inspection at closeout. Clay and concrete tile available depending on what the home and neighborhood call for.
Underlayment Replacement
The most common issue on older Jacksonville tile roofs: the tile is still structurally sound but the felt underneath has failed. We re-felt and reset the existing tile where the material condition allows, which keeps the cost significantly below a full replacement.
Tile Roof Repair
Cracked, broken, or slipped tiles can be replaced individually when the surrounding roof system is still sound. We source matching profiles for discontinued products used in older Jacksonville neighborhoods, which matters when a visible repair needs to blend in.
Storm Damage Restoration
Northeast Florida sees named storm activity and significant wind events regularly. We document damage in the format insurance adjusters use for evaluation, coordinate the claim alongside the installation scope, and handle both sides of the process so you are not managing two separate conversations.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
A wind mitigation inspection documents roof and building features insurers use when determining available wind-mitigation credits. We can coordinate the report at project closeout on qualifying tile replacement projects, and standalone inspections are also available for homeowners who need updated documentation.
Financing Available
We work with Slice and Improvifi for homeowners who want to move forward without covering the full cost upfront. Ask about current terms during the inspection. There is no obligation to use financing if you prefer another arrangement.
Two tile systems Jacksonville homeowners ask about most
Both can perform well in Northeast Florida. The better choice depends on the home, existing structure, neighborhood requirements, budget and whether the goal is repair, reset or complete replacement.
Clay Tile
Common on established Jacksonville homes and often capable of outlasting the underlayment beneath it. When the tile remains structurally sound, re-felt and reset may be an option instead of replacing the material.
Concrete Tile
Common in newer Florida communities, with a wide range of profiles and colors. It generally comes at a lower material cost than clay while still delivering the tile look many homeowners want.

Free Inspection
Our PM assesses the tile, underlayment condition, flashing, fascia, and deck. You receive a written report of what was found before any scope or price conversation begins.
Scope and Proposal
You get a detailed written proposal covering materials, underlayment system, timeline, and warranty terms. If insurance is involved, we handle the documentation in parallel rather than making you manage both tracks separately.
Permit and Scheduling
We pull the permit through Duval County and confirm your install date. Your PM is the single point of contact through the entire project, not a rotating cast of people who do not know your job.
Installation and Closeout
Crew works on your schedule, the site is cleaned at end of each day, and your wind mitigation report and warranty documentation are in hand before we leave the property.
What matters on a Jacksonville tile roofing proposal
The number at the bottom only makes sense when the scope above it is clear. Tile roofing proposals should separate the condition of the tile from the waterproofing system underneath and spell out what happens if hidden deck damage is found.
They should be assessed separately. Sound tile may be reusable even when the underlayment has failed.
The proposal should name what waterproofing system is going back under the tile, not simply say “new felt.”
For repairs on older profiles, know how replacement pieces will be sourced and approved before work begins.
Understand how damaged decking discovered after tear-off is documented, priced and approved.
Tile replacement requires permitting and final inspection. That responsibility should be clear in writing.
Know which parts of the tile roofing system are covered, by whom, and for how long before signing.
Why Jacksonville Homeowners Choose JAEA for Tile Roofing
We Tell You What the Roof Actually Needs
Older tile roofs in Jacksonville's established neighborhoods are frequently quoted as full replacements when an underlayment re-felt and tile reset is the appropriate scope. We assess the tile condition separately from the underlayment and give you an honest recommendation on what is actually required, not the most expensive option available.
We Source Matching Tile for Older Profiles
Discontinued tile profiles show up constantly in Mandarin, Ortega, and Riverside. When a partial repair needs to match what is already on the roof, we work with specialty distributors to find the closest available equivalent and confirm the match before any work begins.
Statewide Resources, Local Presence
Jacksonville is one of four JAEA offices in Florida. When a major storm event creates high demand across the market, that network gives us flexibility to move crew resources between offices and support local project schedules.
You Know What Is Covered Before We Start
Tile roofing involves more than the visible material. We put the scope, underlayment system, workmanship coverage and applicable manufacturer terms in writing before the project begins so there is no confusion later about which part of the roof is covered by whom.
What Our Customers Are Saying
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.
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.
