FAQs
Common questions, honest answers.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Jacksonville, FL?
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in the Jacksonville area run between $9,000 and $22,000, depending on roof size, pitch, the number of layers to be removed, and the shingle line. Metal and Fortified Roof™ systems run higher but offer 50-year+ warranties and insurance discounts. We provide free written estimates.
Is First Light a GAF Master Elite® roofer?
Yes. First Light Home Services is GAF Master Elite® certified — a designation held by fewer than 2% of GAF contractors nationwide. This lets us offer the GAF Golden Pledge® warranty, the strongest in the industry.
What roofing brands and shingles do you install?
Our primary shingle is the GAF Timberline HDZ®. We also install GAF Timberline UHDZ®, GAF Designer shingles (Camelot, Grand Sequoia, Glenwood), and Owens Corning by customer request. For metal, we install Worthouse stone-coated steel, standing seam, and exposed-fastener panels.
How long does a roof replacement take?
A typical residential asphalt shingle replacement takes 1–2 days. Metal and Fortified Roof™ systems can take 2–4 days depending on size and complexity. We give you a clear schedule before work begins.
