24/7 Emergency Tarp • Full Damage Assessment • Insurance Claim Support • Jacksonville Local Team
Jacksonville and Northeast Florida are in the direct path of Atlantic hurricane tracks and regularly experience significant wind and rain from both direct landfalls and passing storms. Hurricane Matthew (2016), Irma (2017), Dorian (2019), and the remnants of Ian (2022) all caused substantial roof damage across Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau, and Flagler counties. JK Prestige Constructor Corp is a Jacksonville family business, present in this community since 2017, and we do not leave after storms pass. We stay and handle the repair work. Our 24/7 emergency line is answered by local team members, not an out-of-state call center. We provide emergency tarp installation to prevent further water intrusion, complete photographic damage documentation for insurance claims, and permanent repair or replacement with OSHA 30 certified crews. After any major storm, call us immediately — the response queue fills within hours.
Warning about post-storm contractors: After major hurricanes, unlicensed contractors flood Florida from out of state. Florida law requires a licensed roofing contractor for work exceeding $1,000. Unlicensed contractors have no bonding and no insurance — if the repair fails or causes further damage, you have no recourse. Verify any contractor at myfloridalicense.com before signing anything.
Heavy-duty tarps secured with battens and cap nails, extending 4+ feet beyond the damaged area. Installed to hold through subsequent weather events, not just for the next hour. Tarp cost documented for insurance reimbursement.
Complete roof inspection with photography of every damaged area. Structural assessment if wind has affected the roof framing. Written damage report formatted for insurance adjuster submission, including hurricane wind speed data for your area.
We meet with your adjuster on-site. We review the adjustment and identify missed or underpaid items. We prepare supplements for discrepancies. We explain the difference between RCV and ACV policies and what you can expect from your specific coverage.
Full tear-off replacement with GAF Timberline HDZ or equivalent Florida-approved product. Wind mitigation report provided upon completion for immediate insurance premium reduction. OSHA 30 certified crews, manufacturer warranty registered in your name.
Call (904) 944-0278 as soon as conditions allow you to safely exit. The response queue fills within hours after major storms. Early call means earlier tarp and earlier permanent repair scheduling.
Tarp installed over all exposed roof areas. Properly secured. Interior damage progression stopped. Tarp installation photographed and documented for insurance.
When safe, full inspection with photography. Structural assessment if needed. Complete written damage report with storm wind speed data from NOAA or NHC. Report formatted for adjuster.
We meet your adjuster on-site. We review the written adjustment and supplement for missed items. We explain your options clearly and present repair vs. full replacement where both are viable.
Scheduled as soon as materials and crew availability allow. Post-hurricane demand increases lead times — we are transparent about scheduling. Wind mitigation report provided with replacement work.
Jacksonville's coastal position puts it in the path of Atlantic hurricane tracks. Sustained hurricane winds strip shingles, lift entire roof sections, and allow water to penetrate at every unsealed penetration. Post-storm assessment requires a licensed roofing contractor, not just a visual check from the ground.
Call immediately after it is safe to be outside. The sooner a tarp is installed, the less interior damage your home sustains. After major storms, roofing contractors in Jacksonville are booked within hours. Call as soon as conditions are safe.
Wind mitigation refers to construction features that reduce hurricane wind damage: hip roofs, secondary water barriers, roof deck attachment. A wind mitigation inspection report documents these for your insurer and can reduce premiums 20–40%. We provide this report with every post-hurricane replacement.
No. Florida law requires a licensed roofing contractor for work exceeding $1,000. After major storms, unlicensed out-of-state contractors enter Florida illegally. Verify any contractor's license at myfloridalicense.com before signing anything.
JK Prestige has been in Jacksonville since 2017. We are here before, during, and after every storm.
