Tile Roofing · Jacksonville and Duval County

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.

What We Do

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.

Clay vs. Concrete

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 roofing in Jacksonville Florida
Long-lived · color stable

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 roofing project by JA Edwards of America
Versatile · broad profile selection

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.

How a Tile Roof Replacement Works in Jacksonville

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

Before You Compare Prices

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.

Tile vs. underlayment

They should be assessed separately. Sound tile may be reusable even when the underlayment has failed.

Underlayment system

The proposal should name what waterproofing system is going back under the tile, not simply say “new felt.”

Matching tile

For repairs on older profiles, know how replacement pieces will be sourced and approved before work begins.

Decking allowance

Understand how damaged decking discovered after tear-off is documented, priced and approved.

Permit & closeout

Tile replacement requires permitting and final inspection. That responsibility should be clear in writing.

Warranty in writing

Know which parts of the tile roofing system are covered, by whom, and for how long before signing.

Why Homeowners Call Us

Why Jacksonville Homeowners Choose JAEA for Tile Roofing

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

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.

Common Questions

Tile Roofing FAQ: Jacksonville Homeowners

Not necessarily. Clay tile from the 1980s frequently outlasts the underlayment beneath it by 15 to 20 years, and active leaks on older tile roofs are often a felt failure rather than a tile failure. If the tile itself is structurally sound and the deck below it is in good condition, a re-felt and tile reset is often the right scope and considerably less expensive than a full material replacement. Our inspection will assess the tile and underlayment separately and tell you which scenario you are dealing with before any decision is made.
Clay tile can last 40 to 50 years with proper maintenance, and Jacksonville's climate is somewhat less aggressive on roofing materials than South Florida given the lower salt air concentration in most Duval County locations. Concrete tile generally runs 25 to 35 years. The underlayment beneath either tile type is the limiting factor and typically needs attention at the 15 to 20-year mark. Jacksonville's older neighborhoods have a lot of clay tile roofs that are still viable at 30 to 40 years old but have failed underlayment that needs to be addressed.
In most cases yes, though it takes more sourcing work on older profiles. Tile from the 1970s and 80s used in neighborhoods like Ortega, Riverside, and San Marco was often Spanish or Mediterranean clay from specific manufacturers, some of which have been discontinued or acquired. We work with specialty distributors that carry legacy inventory and can usually find a match that is close enough to be undetectable from the street. For repairs where the visual match is critical, we confirm the tile before ordering and have the homeowner approve it before any work begins.
A new tile roof installed to current Florida Building Code standards, documented with a wind mitigation report, typically results in a premium reduction from Florida carriers. The credits are based on your roof deck attachment method, covering type, and opening protection documentation. Jacksonville carriers have been applying more scrutiny to older roofs before renewal, so a new installation also removes the risk of a non-renewal notice that older tile can trigger.
A permit through the City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division is required for tile roof replacement. The permit needs to be pulled before work begins and inspected at closeout. We handle the permit application and coordinate the final inspection as part of the project. Work done without a permit creates issues at resale, voids most manufacturer warranties, and is something Florida insurance carriers can use as grounds to dispute a future claim.
After a storm event, the process starts with a damage inspection and documentation. The documentation needs to capture the damage in the specific format insurance adjusters are trained to use, which is different from a typical contractor inspection report. We handle that documentation as part of the process, submit it alongside the claim, and coordinate with the adjuster when they come out to assess. The gap between a well-documented claim and a poorly documented one often shows up directly in the settlement offer, which is why the quality of the paperwork matters as much as the quality of the installation.
Clay tile is the premium option. It lasts longer, holds its color better over decades of UV exposure, and in Jacksonville's climate performs well without the accelerated fading that can affect concrete tile over 20 to 25 years. The cost premium is roughly 25 to 40 percent above comparable concrete. Concrete tile is the standard in most Duval County communities built from the mid-1990s onward, comes in a wider range of profiles and colors, and performs structurally on par with clay when installed correctly. Both qualify for the same wind resistance credits through insurance carriers.
Most residential tile replacements in Jacksonville take four to seven working days depending on roof size, pitch, and whether any deck repairs are needed once the old material comes off. City of Jacksonville permit processing typically adds five to ten business days before work can begin. Underlayment-only jobs with tile resets typically run two to four days. You will have a confirmed schedule before anything starts.
