A roof repair in Jacksonville is usually a race between a small failure and the next afternoon storm. Duval County gets sustained heat, heavy summer rain, and hurricane-season wind, and any one of those will find a lifted shingle, a split pipe boot, or flashing that has pulled away from a chimney. Bigfoot Roofing & Construction has repaired roofs across the First Coast since 2011 — licensed and insured as a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor, license CCC1329769, and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred certified, a tier held by roughly the top 1% of contractors nationwide.

Comprehensive Roof Repair Services
Our repair work covers the failure modes we actually see across Jacksonville, from Riverside bungalows to newer Southside and Bartram-area construction.
Roof Leak Detection and Repair
Water rarely enters where the stain appears — it tracks along rafters and decking before it shows up on a ceiling. We trace leaks to their actual source, which in Jacksonville is most often a deteriorated plumbing-vent pipe boot, failed flashing at a chimney or wall intersection, or a valley carrying more water than its detail was built for. We replace the failed component rather than sealing over the symptom.
Shingle, Metal and Flat Roof Repairs
On asphalt shingle roofs we replace missing, cracked and curling shingles and re-seal courses where the wind has broken the seal strip. On metal we address loose panels, backed-out fasteners, and the neoprene washers on exposed-fastener systems that dry out in Florida sun. On low-slope and flat sections we patch seams, reseal membrane damage, and correct drainage where ponding has started.
Storm and Wind Damage Repair
Wind damage in Jacksonville frequently looks like nothing at all. A gust can lift a shingle and set it back down, breaking the adhesive seal without displacing it — the roof appears intact and is no longer sealed. We check seal integrity, not just visible loss, and document everything we find with photographs. See our storm damage page for post-storm work specifically.
Flashing, Ventilation and Decking
Flashing at chimneys, skylights, dormers and roof-to-wall joints is a leading leak source and is repaired with new material, not resealed. Where we find inadequate attic ventilation — common in older Riverside, Avondale and Arlington housing stock — we correct the intake-to-exhaust balance, because a superheated attic degrades shingles from underneath. Soft or delaminated decking is replaced and documented.
Our Roof Repair Process
- Free inspection — we get on the roof, photograph the condition, and identify the actual failure.
- Written findings — you receive the photos and a plain explanation of what failed and why.
- Repair options — scope, price and timeline, including an honest read on whether repair or replacement is the better value.
- Permits where required — pulled with the City of Jacksonville before work begins.
- Repair — completed to manufacturer specification and Florida Building Code.
- Final walkthrough — magnetic nail sweep, debris removal, and your warranty terms in writing.
Signs You Need Roof Repair
Schedule an inspection if you notice any of these:
- Ceiling or wall staining, particularly near bathrooms, chimneys and exterior walls
- Loose, missing, cracked or curling shingles
- Granules collecting in gutters or washing onto the driveway after rain
- Rusted, lifted or missing flashing at joints, vents or skylights
- Ponding water or soft spots on flat sections
- Daylight visible through the roof deck from the attic, or damp insulation
- A repair in a different spot each year — that pattern points at the system, not the component
If several of these apply at once, the honest answer may be replacement rather than repair. Our guide to repair or replace explains where that line falls, and the inspection will tell you which side of it you are on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you respond to a roof leak in Jacksonville?
We offer same-day response for active leaks, including emergency tarping to stop water intrusion before permanent repair. Once the leak is contained we schedule the repair based on what the inspection found. Call as early in the day as you can during storm season — response times stretch when a system moves through the First Coast.
How much does roof repair cost in Jacksonville?
It depends entirely on what failed. Replacing a deteriorated pipe boot is a small job; rebuilding chimney flashing or replacing damaged decking is a larger one. We inspect first, then give you a written price with options — we do not quote roof repairs over the phone, because nobody can price a Florida roof they have not seen. Financing is available on approved credit.
Will a repair void my roof’s manufacturer warranty?
Not when it is done to specification. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor we use compatible materials and manufacturer-approved methods, which keeps existing warranty coverage intact. Improper repairs by an uncertified installer are a genuine risk to a manufacturer warranty, so it is worth asking any contractor how they handle it.
Can you help with a storm damage insurance claim?
We inspect the roof, document the damage with photographs, and put our findings in writing. You receive that documentation in writing, so you have a complete and accurate record of the roof’s condition. Coverage decisions rest with your insurance carrier — what we contribute is accurate documentation.
Is it better to repair or replace my roof?
Repair is the right call when damage is localized, the cause is identifiable, the decking is sound, and the roof is well within its service life. Architectural shingle realistically gives 16 to 20 years in Florida, so the same damage leads to different answers on an 8-year-old roof and an 18-year-old one. Our free inspection gives you the information to decide.
