Replacement Services
While our motto is always “repair, then replace”, sometimes repairs aren’t just cutting it. For an aged, or heavily damaged roof, there are many instances where a wise homeowner just has to bite the bullet and get a roof replacement. Though it may sting in the short term, the long-term overall cost is definitely in your favor.
Reasons to Get a Roof Replacement
Although are never fun, good reasons to get a roof replacement include:
- Extensive Damage – If your home has either been seriously affected by a storm, or constant wear and tear is finally becoming a critical problem, roof replacement is probably the best, and safest, option.
- Old Roof – Though well-built roofs with quality materials can easily last a lifetime, age is an unavoidable problem that faces every roof. If your roof is just getting too old: roof repairs are becoming constant, storms affect your house much more than most, or visible warping or crumbling is apparent on your shingles, it is probably time to get a new roof.
- Repair costs – Finally, if your roof, perhaps doesn’t meet the other criteria, but for some reason, your roof is either under constant repair, or the costs of repair are just too high to manage, roof replacement can be the wisest option.

Replacing or Remodeling Your Roofing Style
Again, though roof replacement should always be a last resort, at Roofers Jacksonville FL, we try to make the experience as painless and fair as possible. One bright side, though, of getting a roof replaced is that it is the perfect time to switch roofing materials, either for aesthetics, cost, or durability. Some materials include:
- Asphalt shingles – By far the most common, due to their color variety and very low price, you can expect asphalt shingles to last you up to 25 years.
- Tile (Clay) roofing – Disregarding the unique design, tiled roofs are very durable, lasting upwards of 100 years. A slightly more expensive material, however, tile makes up for the price in the long run in its durability.
- Metal Roofing – Sleek, long-lasting, and highly reflective, metal roofing is a modern roofing style suitable for contemporary homes. Relatively expensive, many homeowners find it worth the cost.
- Wood (Cedar) Roofs – Cedar roofs, while being a little more on the pricy side, can be the most aesthetic roofing material. More storm-resistant than normal, Cedar roofs both last longer and
- Flat Roofing – Not a common residential style, flat roofing is both low cost, as well as potentially allowing the roof to be utilized as an outdoor space. Low maintenance is the name of the game for flat roofing.
- Slate Roofing – Lasting up to 200 years, slate roofing is the peak. It is both incredibly durable and incredibly expensive. Not suitable for the average home, slate roofing is truly a luxury.
