Roofers in Greenland, Jacksonville
Greenland is the southeastern corner of Duval County along Philips Highway and Greenland Road, where Mandarin subdivisions, Bartram Park townhomes, rural lots and the Flagler Center business park meet near I-95. It is a mixed residential and commercial area, permitted through the City of Jacksonville.
What usually goes wrong on Greenland roofs
- 1990s shingle roofs on the Greenland Road subdivisions losing granules and lifting at the rakes
- Pine needles from surrounding timberland packing valleys and gutters on wooded lots
- Screw-down metal roofs on older rural homes with backed-out fasteners and rusted laps
- Flat single-ply roofs on warehouses and offices with clogged drains and seam failures
- Storm debris from tall pines puncturing shingles and cracking skylights
Local notes from the roofers
Greenland is the least uniform part of the Mandarin area, and the roof work reflects that. The subdivisions off Greenland Road built in the 1990s are on shingle roofs now past twenty years, with the usual Florida symptoms: granules in the gutters, rakes lifting after thunderstorms, boots cracked through. The rural lots south toward Bayard and along Philips Highway carry older homes with screw-down metal roofs where the fasteners have backed out and the laps have rusted, and a few manufactured homes with their own roof-over systems. The 2000s townhomes and single-family streets toward Bartram Park are younger and run into HOA rules more than storm damage. Around Flagler Center and along Philips Highway the roofs are flat single-ply on warehouses and offices, where clogged drains and split seams show up after the rainy season. Tall pines surround all of it and drop limbs and needles onto everything. An estimate in Greenland is written for the roof type in front of it, whether shingle, exposed fastener metal or commercial membrane, and it separates storm damage from wear for the insurance file. Permits go through the City of Jacksonville, since Greenland is unincorporated Duval County, Florida.
