About NexGen Roofing Jacksonville

About NEXGEN Roofing

NEXGEN wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built out of frustration — the kind that builds up over a lifetime of watching good people get treated poorly by an industry that earned its bad reputation.

Brandon Cornellier and Tim Betros met at the University of Florida in 2013. They didn't know it at the time, but they had more in common than a college campus. Both of them had grown up around the roofing industry. Both of their fathers had spent careers in it. And both of them had watched their dads work hard for companies that didn't operate the way they should — overcharging homeowners, neglecting their teams, cutting corners on materials, and disappearing when something went wrong.

Brandon's father spent his career running production and operations for roofing companies across Florida. Tim's father built and led sales teams in the same industry. Both of them were good at what they did. Both of them spent careers working for companies that didn't take care of their employees, their customers, or the communities they operated in.

When Brandon and Tim started talking seriously about building something of their own, the conversation kept coming back to the same thing: the industry had a trust problem — and it wasn't just about the work. It was about how companies treated the people who worked for them, the homeowners who hired them, and the neighborhoods they called their market. Too many roofing companies got all three wrong.

NEXGEN Roofing was founded in Jacksonville in 2018 to get all three right.

We grew up in the roofing industry. Our Dads spent their careers working for companies that didn't take care of their employees, their customers, or their communities. We built NEXGEN to be everything those companies weren't.

What We Stand For
Built Around Three Things the Industry Gets Wrong
Our Employees
A Great Place to Work
We grew up watching our Dads work for companies that treated their crews as a cost to minimize, not people to invest in. We built NEXGEN to be the kind of place people stay — because they're respected, developed, and taken care of.
The Result
Voted Best Place to Work — Jacksonville Business Journal
Our Customers
Honest Work, Documented
The companies our Dads worked for earned the industry its bad reputation — overcharging, skipping permits, disappearing when something went wrong. We built NEXGEN on the opposite model — transparent pricing, full documentation, and a 10-year warranty that means something.
The Result
451 five-star Google reviews — the most of any privately held roofing contractor in Jacksonville
Our Community
Giving Back Is Non-Negotiable
The companies our Dads worked for weren't invested in the communities they operated in — they took the work and left. NEXGEN was built here, and we treat that responsibility seriously. When this community needs help, we show up — not as a marketing exercise, but because it's the right thing to do.
The Result
$150,000+ in donated roofs · 1,000+ annual community service hours · NEXGEN Foundation founded 2022

NEXGEN isn't just a name — it's literal. Both of our Dads now work with us. One runs warehouse and inventory. One leads the sales team. They spent their careers doing things right for companies that didn't deserve it. Now they do it for one that does.

What "NEXGEN" Actually Means

The name isn't marketing. It's literal.

Brandon's dad now runs warehouse and inventory operations at NEXGEN. He manages the materials, the supply chain, the logistics — everything that keeps a roofing company running at scale. He does it with the same standards he's always had. The difference is he does it now for a company that was built around those standards instead of in spite of them.

Tim's dad runs sales at NEXGEN. He does what he's always been good at — talking to homeowners, understanding what they need, earning their trust. Except now when he tells a homeowner that this company will do the job right, permit it, warrant it, and stand behind it — he knows it's true.

Two fathers, two different skill sets, two careers in a broken industry. Both of them are now working for their sons, at a company their sons built to fix what was wrong.

That's what NEXGEN means. Not the next generation of roofing products. The next generation of contractors.

How We Operate

Every decision we make traces back to the same question: would we be comfortable if the homeowner saw exactly what we're doing and why?

We grew up in this industry. We saw what it looked like when companies didn't take care of their employees, their customers, or their communities. We built NEXGEN around all three — and every operational decision we make traces back to that.

We pull every permit. We don't skip the city inspection. We use manufacturer-spec materials, not contractor-grade shortcuts. We back every installation with a 10-year workmanship warranty — not because we have to, but because we're confident enough in our work to do it. We give every homeowner a full documentation package at completion — wind mitigation report, Certificate of Completion, warranty registration — because that's what they deserve and what an honest contractor does.

We started the NEXGEN Foundation in 2022. We've donated over $150,000 in roofs to members of this community and put in more than 1,000 hours of community service annually. That's not a line item in a marketing budget. It's what we built this company to do.

We're not perfect. But we operate with a standard we're willing to put our names on.
