What's different about roofs in Jacksonville Beach
Jacksonville Beach's 50" of annual rainfall creates real conditions for moss and algae growth, especially on north-facing or shaded roof sections — algae-resistant shingles and more frequent inspections are worth considering here.
Jacksonville Beach's temperature range doesn't impose the kind of seasonal sealing or safety constraints seen in more extreme climates, so roofing work can generally be scheduled with more flexibility here than in places with harsher winters or summers.
Algae-resistant architectural shingles or standing seam metal (metal typically lasting 40-70 (popular for hurricane resistance) years in Florida) tend to outperform standard 3-tab asphalt given Jacksonville Beach's 50" of annual rainfall, since both shed water well and resist moss/algae growth better.
