The 8 Best Roofing Companies East Palatka Florida Has to Offer (2026)
By Shelly Marchetti, Florida homeowner advocate. Reviewed by Hal Winstead, Editor, licensed roofing contractor. I was sitting on a cinder-block porch off Cedar Creek Road in East Palatka the afternoon a squall line came throught, tearing shingles off the porch roof. Rain hit the tin awning like gravel. That house was a 1950s Florida vernacular with terrazzo floors, and the owner just needed someone honest to tell her wether to patch or replace. I made calls for her then, and I don’t call roofers lightly.
To put this list together, I did the same thing more systematically. I checked every company against the Florida DBPR licence roll, and on the day I checked, only 2 of the 8 below came back with an active roofing licence. That’s the first thing you need to verify before you let anyone near your roofline—and it’s the test we use for every roofing company we list in East Palatka.
Short answer: the 8 best roofing companies in East Palatka, Florida are led by Neal Strickland Roofing, Big A Roofing Inc and 1st Coast Metal Roofing Supply. Of the 8 listed here, 2 hold a verified Florida DBPR roofing licence, which is the single check worth doing before anyone climbs on your roof. Rankings below use licence status, review volume, rating and photo evidence — all public, all reproducible.
If you would rather browse the full list rather than my shortlist, every one of them is on the East Palatka roofing companies directory page — this post is the 8 I would call first.
How this list was ranked. Every company here was cross-checked against the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation licence roll; 2 of 8 returned an active roofing licence (type CCC or RC), and the licence number is printed on each entry so you can verify it yourself. After licence status, ordering uses Google review count (capped so a big chain cannot buy the top spot on volume alone), star rating, and whether the company has photos and published hours. Nobody paid to appear on this list.

How to check any Florida roofer's licence yourself
Search the licence number at the Florida DBPR licence portal. A roofing contractor holds a CCC (certified) or RC (registered) licence. If the number does not return an active record, that is the end of the conversation.
