Commercial Roofing Contractor | Jacksonville, FL
NEXGEN Roofing handles commercial roofing for business owners, property managers, investors, and general contractors across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. We install, repair, and maintain flat, low-slope, and steep-slope systems — TPO, modified bitumen, metal, shingle, and tile — on everything from single-tenant retail to multi-family residential portfolios.
Commercial roofing is a different job from residential. Your tenants are watching. Your budget has a line item. Your schedule isn't flexible. A roof leak isn't just a maintenance problem — it can trigger lease disputes, damage inventory, disrupt operations, and create liability. You need a contractor who understands those stakes and operates accordingly.
NEXGEN does. We're fully licensed, fully insured, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred (top 1% nationwide), and BBB A+ rated. Every commercial project we take on is fully permitted, city-inspected, and delivered with the documentation your property management software, your insurance carrier, and your asset manager will ask for.

Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Jacksonville
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
The most widely specified flat roofing system in commercial construction today, and for good reason. TPO's heat-welded seams create a fully monolithic membrane with no lap adhesive to fail over time. In Florida's climate, TPO's reflective white surface reduces rooftop temperatures significantly — directly cutting your building's cooling load and energy costs. NEXGEN installs TPO to manufacturer specification on commercial buildings throughout Jacksonville, fully permitted and warranted.
Modified Bitumen (Mod Bit)
A proven two-ply system that has been the workhorse of commercial flat roofing for decades. Modified bitumen provides redundant waterproofing — critical for Jacksonville's heavy rainfall — and holds up well to rooftop foot traffic, HVAC equipment, and drainage stress. NEXGEN installs both torch-applied and self-adhered modified bitumen systems depending on building requirements and local code.
Standing Seam Metal
For commercial buildings with sloped roofs, standing seam metal is the premium long-term investment. No exposed fasteners, 160+ mph wind rating, 40–50 year lifespan, and minimal maintenance requirements. Increasingly common on commercial buildings across Jacksonville's Southside and the Beaches markets as property owners shift toward lower lifecycle cost systems.
Asphalt Shingle (Commercial Steep-Slope)
For churches, office buildings, retail centers, and mixed-use properties with conventional sloped roofs. Owens Corning commercial-grade architectural shingles with a full system warranty. Cost-effective, code-compliant, and suitable for most commercial steep-slope applications in Duval County.
Clay, Cement & Tile Systems
For hospitality, medical office, and high-end commercial properties where aesthetics are part of the brand. NEXGEN installs tile systems on commercial buildings throughout Northeast Florida with full structural assessment and Florida Building Code compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions: Commercial Roofing in Jacksonville, FL
-
Commercial roofing cost depends heavily on system type, building size, roof access, existing system condition, and whether you're doing a full tear-off or a recover. As a rough guide: TPO flat roofing typically runs $8–$14 per square foot installed; modified bitumen $9–$15 per square foot; standing seam metal $18–$30 per square foot; commercial shingle $5–$9 per square foot. Large footprint buildings benefit from economy of scale. NEXGEN provides free written assessments with itemized estimates — call (904) 802-7150 to schedule.
-
For most commercial flat roofs in Jacksonville, TPO is the dominant choice — it's cost-effective, energy-efficient, and holds up well to Florida's UV exposure and rainfall patterns. For roofs with heavy foot traffic, mechanical equipment, or a history of ponding water, modified bitumen's redundant layers provide additional protection. For the longest lifespan and lowest maintenance requirement, a fully adhered TPO system with 60-mil membrane and proper tapered insulation is the strongest specification. NEXGEN will recommend the right system for your building during your free assessment.
-
Yes. NEXGEN provides photo and video documentation of storm and wind damage formatted for commercial insurance carriers. We work alongside your adjuster on-site, provide detailed damage reports in the format your carrier requires, and ensure all damage is properly captured before any repair work begins. We serve commercial property owners throughout Jacksonville and Duval County.
-
Planning. We coordinate project phasing around your business hours, pre-stage materials to minimize on-site storage, schedule dumpster placement to keep primary access points clear, and provide daily progress updates so you always know what's happening and what's next. For multi-tenant buildings, we sequence work to avoid simultaneous disruption to multiple units. Most commercial replacements in Jacksonville are completed in 2-6 weeks depending on footprint.
-
We offer ongoing inspection and maintenance services for commercial clients. Regular documented inspections extend roof life, identify small issues before they become expensive failures, and maintain your warranty coverage — most manufacturer warranties require documented maintenance to remain valid. For property managers and portfolio owners, we provide consolidated reporting across multiple properties. Call (904) 802-7150 to discuss a maintenance schedule for your building.
-
Every NEXGEN commercial installation is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty — well above the 1–2 year industry standard. Depending on the system specified, manufacturer warranties are also available: Owens Corning system warranties on commercial shingle applications; TPO manufacturer warranties through our supply partners on flat roof systems. All warranties are documented and registered in your name at project completion.
-
Yes — every commercial project, every time. We handle the full permit process with the City of Jacksonville or applicable municipality, coordinate the city inspection, and provide the Certificate of Completion at project close. For portfolio owners and property managers, this documentation is critical for refinancing, disposition, and insurance renewals. Any contractor who suggests skipping the permit on a commercial project is creating liability for your ownership entity.ion
-
The general rule: if the roof is under 15 years old with isolated issues, repair is usually the right call. If it's over 15–20 years old, has recurring leak patterns in multiple locations, shows widespread membrane failure or seam separation, or has significant ponding water issues that repairs haven't resolved, replacement is typically more cost-effective over a 5-year horizon. NEXGEN provides a free written assessment with an honest repair vs. replacement recommendation — including the financial case for each option. We'll tell you what makes sense for your building, not what generates the bigger invoice.
