The storm that finds a St. Johns County roof is usually the one nobody named. A nor'easter parks offshore for three days and pushes rain up under the shingle edge. Salt eats the screw heads on a Vilano metal roof. The shingle roofs laid from World Golf Village to Julington Creek between 1995 and 2008 are at the age where the insurer asks the year first. When you call, we put you through to one independent local roofing contractor who works this county every week and knows those patterns. The estimate, the contract, and the warranty are between you and that contractor.
A house downtown near Flagler College may sit in a historic preservation district, where the review board approves the material before the city issues a permit. A house on Anastasia Island or at Vilano faces salt from two directions and a nor'easter season from fall into spring, which is why 5V and standing seam are the island's look. A house in Nocatee, Palencia, or World Golf Village has an architectural committee and a shingle roof the same age as every neighbor's. Matthew in 2016, Irma in 2017, and Helene and Milton in 2024 each left roofs that look fine from the street and are not.
The contractor traces the ceiling stain to the seam that let the water in, often several feet uphill and around a hip. They check the decking from the attic for wet lines, then walk the slopes that faced the wind. On metal they count backed-out screws; on tile they lift a few pieces to see the underlayment. You get photos and a written scope before anyone talks about a tear-off. One visit tells you what it needs.

Roof repair and replacement in Florida is work the state reserves for a licensed roofing contractor. Contractors represent their own licensing and insurance, so check it yourself at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's myfloridalicense.com. Ask for a certificate of insurance and a written scope before work starts, and ask which office pulls the permit: the county, the City of St. Augustine, or St. Augustine Beach.
Call (904) 895-7548. Have the address, a callback number, and a plain description: shingle, metal, or tile, roughly what year it went on, where the drip is, and whether a storm, a renewal letter, or a home sale started the conversation. Say what you see and the contractor sorts out the rest.
