Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

How do I know if I need roof repair or a full roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

If your roof has minor issues like a small leak or a few missing shingles, sagging areas, storm damage, water stains on ceilings, or an aging roof, a professional roof repair may be enough. However, widespread damage, sagging areas, or a roof over 20 years old often requires a full roof replacement. Our team provides honest inspections and will recommend the most cost-effective solution for your home or business.  Jordan Roofing is a licensed, bonded, and insured roofing contractor in Jacksonville, FL. This ensures your property is protected and all work meets Florida building codes.

Question 2

What causes black streaks on roofs in Jacksonville, and how should they be removed?

Accepted Answer

What causes black streaks on roofs in Jacksonville, and how should they be removed?  Black streaks are usually caused by Gloeocapsa Magma algae, which thrives in North Florida's heat and humidity. Homeowners should avoid pressure washing their roofs, as it can damage shingles and void warranties. Instead, professional soft washing safely removes algae using specialized cleaning solutions and low-pressure application methods.

Accepted Answer

Before hurricane season, inspect your roof for loose or missing shingles, damaged flashing, and clogged gutters. Trim back overhanging tree branches, especially in heavily wooded neighborhoods like Riverside and Ortega, and document your roof's current condition with photos and videos. A professional roof inspection can also help identify potential weaknesses before severe weather arrives.

Question 8

Which roofing material is better for Jacksonville's climate: metal or shingles?

Accepted Answer

Both options perform well, but metal roofing typically lasts longer, offers better resistance to high winds, humidity, and coastal salt air, and can improve energy efficiency by reflecting heat. Asphalt shingles are more affordable upfront, making them a popular choice for homeowners seeking a balance between cost and performance.

Question 9

What should Jacksonville homeowners know before filing a roof insurance claim?

Accepted Answer

If you notice storm-related roof damage, contact your insurance company promptly and document the damage with photos and videos. Most policies cover sudden storm damage but not leaks caused by age, wear, or neglect. Be cautious of out-of-state \"storm chaser\" contractors and work with a trusted local roofing company like Jordan Roofing LLC for inspections and guidance.

Question 10

How long does a typical roof installation or replacement take and what are the signs of roof damage?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the roof material and structure:  Shingle: 1–2 days Metal: 2–4 days Tile or Slate: 5–10 days (heavier, more detailed work) TPO/EDPM Flat Roofing: 1–2 days Specialty roof shapes: Varies depending on complexity  We provide a detailed project timeline upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
