Tampa's Commercial Roofing Contractor — GAF Master Elite, BBB A+
JA Edwards of America has been replacing and repairing commercial roofs in the Tampa Bay area since 2004. Our Tampa team works with property owners and building managers throughout Hillsborough County — from flat roof replacements and TPO systems to storm damage claims and ongoing maintenance.
Every project in Hillsborough County is permitted and inspected. You get the closeout documentation at the end of the job — the paperwork that matters when you sell the building or need to file a warranty claim down the road.
Complete Commercial Roofing Services in Tampa
Flat roof replacement, membrane repair, storm damage, skylights — our Tampa crew handles it all. Every job is permitted through Hillsborough County and comes with full inspection closeout documentation.
Flat Roof Replacement
Full tear-off and installation of low-slope and flat systems across Tampa's commercial inventory — retail, warehouse, office parks, and industrial.
- TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems
- Materials specified for Florida UV and thermal cycling
- 20 to 30 year manufacturer warranties on eligible installs
- Hillsborough County permits handled end to end
TPO Membrane Roofing
The most widely installed commercial flat roof solution in Florida — heat reflective, UV resistant, seam-welded watertight, with strong long-term warranty options.
- Fully adhered and mechanically fastened configurations
- White membrane reduces cooling load in Florida heat
- Available with GAF System Plus Warranty (labor + materials)
- Proper drainage design specified per building
Commercial Roof Repair
Seam failures, punctures, drain problems, and flashing deterioration are the most common commercial issues we see in Tampa. Fixed properly, not patched over.
- Emergency response after storm events
- Repairs on TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up systems
- Written assessment before any work begins
- Warranty on all repair work
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
Hurricane Milton left significant damage across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties in 2024. We document damage, write detailed reports, and coordinate directly with commercial adjusters.
- Written report formatted for insurance submission
- Direct communication with commercial adjusters
- Documentation of damage cause and full scope
- Active since every major Florida hurricane since 2004
Roof Coatings and Restoration
Not every aging roof needs full replacement. Where structure and decking are sound, a reflective coating system can extend service life by 10 to 15 years.
- Honest structural assessment before recommendation
- Reflective coatings cut cooling costs in Florida summers
- Fraction of the cost of full replacement
- Manufacturer-backed extended warranty available
Skylight Installation and Repair
Commercial skylight installation, replacement, and repair — fully integrated with the surrounding membrane system, permitted through Hillsborough County.
- New skylight installation on commercial structures
- Leak repair and resealing on existing skylights
- Watertight integration with surrounding roofing
- County-permitted with full inspection closeout
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled inspections, minor repairs, and post-storm checks for property managers across Tampa Bay. Maintenance is the most cost-effective way to extend service life.
- Bi-annual or quarterly inspection schedules
- Post-storm checks following named events
- Written condition reports each visit
- Priority scheduling for maintenance clients
From First Call to Final Permit
No guessing, no surprises. Here is exactly what happens from the first call to the final permit — and what you should expect at each step.
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.
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.
Permit Pull and Scheduling
We pull all Hillsborough County or Tampa city permits. Scheduling confirmed around your operations, crew arrival confirmed the day before work starts.
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.
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.

Six Reasons Tampa Businesses Keep Calling Us Back
Verified Florida Licenses
CGC1534283 and CCC1334804 — both searchable at DBPR.MyFloridaLicense.com. Florida law requires a CCC roofing license for any roofing work. A general contractor license alone doesn't cover it. Verify ours before you sign anything.
GAF Master Elite — Top 2% Nationally
Fewer than 2% of US roofers hold this. The practical difference: only Master Elite contractors can offer the GAF System Plus Warranty, which covers both materials and labor. Most Tampa contractors can only offer a materials warranty.
BBB A+ Accreditation
Not a badge you pay for. It requires meeting real standards for responsiveness and complaint resolution — and it gets pulled if you stop meeting them. Check our profile directly at the BBB Central Florida region.
Physical Tampa Office and Local Team
9270 Bay Plaza Blvd Suite 612, Tampa FL 33619. A crew that knows Hillsborough County permit timelines, the local inspection process, and what the Tampa Bay climate does to roofing systems year after year.
4.9 Stars Across 81 Tampa Reviews
Built over years of consistent work in South Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Westchase, Carrollwood, New Tampa, and surrounding areas. Not manufactured overnight.
Financing Available
Through Slice and Improvifi for qualified commercial projects, including options structured around Florida insurance claim timelines. Ask when you call for your inspection.
Tampa is JAEA's highest-rated location. Reviews span residential and commercial work across Hillsborough County.
"They pulled the permit, managed the inspection, and gave me the closeout paperwork at the end. Every other contractor I talked to glossed over that. JA Edwards does the job properly."
"After Hurricane Milton I had three contractors out. JA Edwards was the only one who gave me a written, itemized estimate with the specific membrane product. That is how I knew they were serious."
"The GAF System Plus warranty was the deciding factor. Other contractors said they were GAF certified but couldn't offer the coverage. JA Edwards explained the difference and delivered exactly what they promised."
