New Construction in Jacksonville, FL

New Construction in Jacksonville, FL

New construction roofing in Jacksonville means installing a roof on a home that has never had one, and the cost on a standard single-family build typically runs $9,500 to $24,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and material. That number should be on paper before the first shingle comes off the truck. At Brennan Roofing Co Jacksonville, we put the price in writing before any work starts and back every new construction roof with a written one-year guarantee. If you’re building in Jacksonville or Duval County, call (904) 719-6346 for a free estimate on the roof your new home deserves.

This is different from a Roof Replacement & Installation job, where we’re tearing off an old roof and putting on a new one. New construction means working from bare decking, coordinating with your builder or general contractor, and getting the roof right the first time so it protects the rest of the project. We’ve done this on homes from Jacksonville neighborhoods like Mandarin, Ortega, and Arlington to new developments pushing out toward Nassau and Clay County. The process is disciplined, the materials are real, and the accountability is written down.

When You Need New Construction

New construction roofing isn’t a repair call. It’s a planned installation that has to line up with framing, electrical, plumbing, and inspections. Here are the situations where we step in:

• You’re building a custom home in Jacksonville. Your builder needs a roofing crew that shows up on schedule, because every trade after us depends on the roof being closed in.
• You’re adding an addition or a second story. The new section needs roof decking, underlayment, and shingles tied into the existing roofline, with flashing done properly at every transition.
• You’re a general contractor or developer with a spec build. You need a roofing partner who gives you a written number and holds it, because your margin depends on it.
• You’re replacing a roof that was never installed correctly to begin with. We see this in Jacksonville regularly: shortcuts on the original build show up as leaks within five years. At that point it’s effectively a re-roof on a newer home, but the process is the same discipline we use on new builds.
• You’re putting up a detached structure. A garage, workshop, pool house, or ADU needs a roof that matches the main house and meets Duval County code.
• You bought a lot and you’re acting as your own general contractor. You need a roofing crew that will show up when they say they will and put the price on paper before work begins, not after.

Our New Construction Process

We follow the same sequence on every new construction roof. It’s called The Garrison Standard, and it doesn’t change based on the job size, the neighborhood, or who’s paying the invoice.

1. Written estimate before any work starts. We walk the plans or the framed structure, measure the roof, and put a number on paper. That number includes materials, labor, decking, underlayment, flashing, and cleanup. It does not change at the door.
2. Material selection explained plainly. We install materials from manufacturer lines including IKO, Atlas, and Tamko, and we explain the real differences: what a Class 4 impact rating means for a Jacksonville hailstorm, why a higher wind rating matters during hurricane season, and where the extra cost is worth it and where it isn’t.
3. Deck inspection before anything goes down. On new construction, the decking should be fresh, but we check it anyway. Warped sheets, improper nailing, or gaps at the eaves get corrected before underlayment goes on.
4. Underlayment, drip edge, and flashing installed to code. Duval County has specific requirements for roof underlayment and flashing, and we build to them. Drip edge goes on before the shingles, valley flashing goes in every valley, and pipe boots and vent flashing are set so they don’t leak in year one or year ten.
5. Shingles or metal roofing installed, fastened, and inspected. The crew follows manufacturer installation specs exactly, because that’s what the material warranty requires. We don’t cut corners on nail count or pattern.
6. Final walk-through and written guarantee. When the roof is done, we walk it with you or your builder and hand over the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if anything isn’t done right, we come back and make it right at no charge for one full year.

New Construction Pricing in Jacksonville

We put pricing on this page because a homeowner shouldn’t have to make a phone call just to get a ballpark. Here’s what new construction roofing costs in Jacksonville as of 2026:

• Architectural shingle roof, standard 1,800 to 2,400 square foot home: $9,500 to $14,500 installed
• Larger or steeper roof, 2,800 to 3,500 square feet: $15,000 to $20,000 installed
• High-end shingle lines with Class 4 impact rating (like Atlas StormMaster or Tamko Titan XT): add $2,500 to $4,500 to the base range
• Standing seam metal roof, standard home size: $22,000 to $38,000 installed
• Detached garage or workshop, 400 to 700 square feet: $4,000 to $7,500 installed

What moves the price: roof pitch (anything 8/12 or steeper adds labor), the number of valleys and hips, skylights and vent penetrations, and decking thickness. If your plans call for a roof deck that needs to support a future solar install, we’ll price that reinforcement upfront rather than surprising you later. Every estimate is free, and the number we write down is the number you pay. Call (904) 719-6346 for an exact quote on your build.

Why Jacksonville Builders and Homeowners Use Brennan Roofing

Jacksonville is a roofing market where the low bid shows up a lot, and the low bidder is often gone by the time the leak starts. That’s not how we operate. Brennan Roofing Co Jacksonville is led by Travis Oakley, and we operate under The Garrison Standard, a named, defined set of practices that started with the Garrison Partners family back in 2000. We’re an independently owned local business, not a franchise location, and the standard applies to every job we take.

What that means on a new construction site: a background-checked, uniformed technician is the one on your roof, and you know who that is before they climb the ladder. The price is in writing before any work starts. The materials are from real manufacturer lines, and we tell you exactly which line and which shingle. And the guarantee is in writing for one full year. We don’t ask you to take any of that on faith; it’s all documented before the first nail goes in.

New Construction Materials That Handle Jacksonville Weather

Jacksonville roofs face two things most of the country doesn’t: high heat and hurricane season. Shingles that sit on a roof in July get baked to well over 140 degrees, and then a September storm rolls in with 70-plus mile-per-hour gusts. The material choice matters here more than in a place with a mild, dry climate.

We install materials from manufacturer lines including IKO, Atlas, and Tamko, and we walk clients through the trade-offs honestly. IKO’s Nordic line and Dynasty line offer solid wind ratings at mid-range pricing. Atlas makes the StormMaster line, which carries a Class 4 impact rating, a consideration if you’re in an area that’s seen hail from spring and summer storms. Tamko’s Titan XT and Heritage lines are common on spec builds where builders want a proven shingle at a disciplined price point. We’ll also talk about Boral for tile or composite options on higher-end custom homes where the architectural style calls for it. The point is that you choose with real information, not a sales pitch.

How We Coordinate with Your Builder

On most new construction projects, we’re one trade among many, and the schedule matters as much as the roof itself. Here’s how it works with us:

• A live person answers the phone, 24/7. When your builder needs a revised schedule or an immediate answer on a material availability question, the call gets answered. No voicemail, no automated system, no callback queue.
• We show up inside the promised window. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive when they say they will. If weather pushes us off, we call the builder and re-anchor the date. We don’t ghost the job.
• We handle the inspection touchpoints. In Duval County, roof deck and underlayment inspections happen at specific stages. We coordinate our work so the inspector sees a roof that’s ready to close in, not a partial mess that forces a reschedule.
• We don’t leave the site a mess. New construction sites are chaotic enough. We run magnet sweeps for nails, bag our material waste, and leave the roof and ground clean.

The 365-Day Done Right Promise, Explained

Every new construction roof we install carries a written guarantee for one full year. It’s called the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it means this: if anything we installed isn’t done right, we come back and make it right at no charge. No deductible, no service fee, no argument. The promise is in writing before we start the job, and it covers our workmanship on the full roof system, flashing, underlayment, and installation labor.

This sits on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty, which runs much longer depending on the shingle line. But manufacturer warranties only cover product defects. Our guarantee covers the discipline of the install itself, because that’s the part we control. In Jacksonville new construction, this matters: we’ve seen roofs fail within two years because the flashing was set wrong or the underlayment wasn’t fastened. A written guarantee with a named responsible party changes the equation. For a new construction roof from Brennan Roofing Co Jacksonville, the responsible party is named, local, and reachable by phone around the clock.

What roofing material is best for Jacksonville’s climate?

For most Jacksonville homes, an architectural shingle with a strong wind rating and a Class 4 impact option handles heat and hurricane season well, and materials from IKO, Atlas, and Tamko all have lines suited to this market. We explain the trade-offs plainly so you choose based on real facts, not a sales agenda. Tiles and composites from Boral are options on higher-end custom homes.
