Johnson family · Pensacola since 1994
Pensacola Roofer is the Johnson family’s roofing company. We replace, repair, and dry-in houses from Perdido Key to Navarre — shingle, standing-seam metal, and low-slope — and we write the scope down before we start.
This coast
Within a mile of the bay or the gulf, ordinary nails and painted flashing give up early. The spec has to assume salt, not a catalog photo taken inland.
Live oaks drop limbs and hold moisture on the north slope. We look at the trees before we look at the shingles, especially in East Hill, Cordova, and Milton.
A sealed deck, the right nailing pattern, and hip geometry are what a later wind-mitigation inspection can actually use. We build the roof. A licensed inspector files the OIR-B1-1802 form.
The work
01
A full tear-off and a new system, written down before the dumpster arrives.
02
Leaks, lifted flashing, tired pipe boots. A patch when a patch is honest.
03
For salt air on the beach, the Key, and the Gulf Breeze waterfront.
04
Photos, a written scope, and a crew that will meet the adjuster.
05
Porches, additions, and small commercial. Not a shingle forced flat.
06
Roof packages for houses the Johnson crews are already building.
How a job goes
Someone from the shop gets on the roof. Photos, deck notes, and a straight answer on repair versus replacement.
One written price. What is included, what is not, and how a rotten deck gets handled if we find it.
Tear-off, dry-in, and install. The yard is part of the job. We do not leave a street of nails for the next rain.
You walk the finished roof with us. We leave the warranty papers with the house, and we register the project with the manufacturer.
After the wind
A missing shingle is not the same problem as an open deck or a limb on the ridge. The storm page is a short checklist you can use before you call, and a note you can keep for the insurance file.
Planning range
The calculator is a range for Escambia and Santa Rosa. It is not a bid, and it is not a promise.
We document the roof and we will meet an adjuster. You hire us. The claim belongs to you and your carrier. We will not tell you the insurance company is going to buy the roof.
Active leaks and open decking come first: a dry-in, not a full replacement on day one. Permanent work is scheduled when the deck is sound and the material is here. Call the shop and leave a message if we are on a roof.
Florida certified roofing contractor CCC1327003, held by Shelby Johnson. Pensacola Roofer LLC is the Johnson family’s roofing company at 6310 W Fairfield Drive. You can look the number up with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Sometimes, after a wind-mitigation inspection. A sealed roof deck and a documented nailing pattern give that inspector something real to mark. We do not perform the inspection or file form OIR-B1-1802. Ask your agent what your carrier actually credits.
Our workmanship guarantee follows the National Association of Home Builders Residential Construction Performance Guidelines. Product coverage is the manufacturer’s warranty, and that warranty differs by product. We register and record each project with the manufacturer. The contract names the guideline and the product warranty before we start.
We do not offer financing. We refer clients to financial institutions we work with. Call the shop and we will make that introduction.
Services
Johnson Construction of Pensacola has been building houses here since 1994. Pensacola Roofer is the roof side of that work. If a job is outside what we should take, we will say that too.
01
We pull the old roof, look at the deck, and dry the house in the same day when the weather holds. The bid names the underlayment, the metal, the pipe boots, and what happens if we open a soft spot. You should not meet those decisions on the ladder.
02
A lot of Pensacola leaks are flashing and boots, not the field of the shingle. We will fix that. If the roof is at the end of its life, we will say so instead of selling a repair that will not last the next summer.
03
Exposed-fastener panels belong on barns. Houses on this coast do better with standing seam, concealed clips, and stainless where the salt can reach. It sheds wind-driven rain and it does not cook the attic the way a dark shingle can.
04
We document what the wind did. We do not promise what a carrier will pay — that decision is not ours, and anyone who guarantees a claim is selling you something else. Temporary dry-in comes first. The permanent roof follows when materials and weather line up.
05
A porch roof under 2/12 needs a membrane: TPO or modified bitumen, with the edges tied into the wall flashing. We see a lot of leaks that started as the wrong product on a low slope behind a Pensacola cottage.
06
Johnson Construction of Pensacola has been putting up houses here since 1994. When the roof is part of that job — or a house someone else framed — we install it to the Florida Building Code wind requirements for this county, not an inland spec sheet.
Fits
Most inland houses in Escambia and Santa Rosa.
Life here
Often 20–30 years here, less under heavy oak shade.
The catch
The honest default. A sealed deck and the right starter and hip metal matter more than the brand name on the bundle.
Fits
Beach, Key, Gulf Breeze, and anyone who wants the roof to outlast the paint.
Life here
Several decades if the clips, edges, and penetrations are detailed.
The catch
Higher first cost. Fewer reasons to be back on the roof after a windy weekend.
Fits
Houses already built for the weight, mostly coastal and custom.
Life here
The tile can outlast the underlayment. The underlayment is the roof.
The catch
We do not set tile on a deck that was framed for shingles. If the structure is wrong, we say so.
Fits
Porches, additions, and low-slope commercial.
Life here
Depends on the membrane and whether water can actually leave.
The catch
Ponding water is a design problem. A thicker membrane will not fix a roof that holds a puddle.
Storm
A wet ceiling and a limb on the ridge are not a ladder job. If a tree is in a power line, call the utility before you call a roofer. Then use this list. It is not an inspection.
01
From the yard and from inside. Ceilings, the attic if you can reach it safely, and the ground around the downspouts.
02
An open deck needs a cover before a full replacement. We do not pretend a blue tarp is a roof.
03
File with your carrier. We will meet an adjuster. We will not promise a payout.
Mark everything you can see. Leave the rest unchecked.
Areas
The shop is on Fairfield Drive in Pensacola. We cover Escambia County and Santa Rosa County. Western Okaloosa is a conversation, not a promise on a map. If your town is not listed, call. Bridge traffic matters more than a boundary line.
Nothing matches that. Try a neighborhood name, or call the shop and describe the street.
Escambia
Older wood frames, chopped-up hips, oak debris. Flashing and ventilation matter as much as the field shingle.
Escambia
Historic houses and tight lots. Tear-off has to leave the street usable for the neighbors.
Escambia
Ranch houses, straightforward replacements, and a lot of wind claims after a named storm.
Escambia
Salt and open wind. Standing seam and stainless details earn their keep on the island.
Escambia
Beach houses with exposure on more than one wall. The edge metal is the whole job.
Escambia
Family neighborhoods off the bay. Shade, pine straw, and three-tab roofs that have done their time.
Escambia
Bigger footprints and two-story houses. Access and where the dumpster sits are part of the price.
Escambia
Newer streets and larger roofs. First replacements and new-construction packages both.
Escambia
Inland of the salt, still in the wind. More pine, more heat, the same code.
Escambia
Close to the shop on Fairfield Drive. Fast looks, and a plain repair-or-replace call.
Escambia
Bay humidity. Pipe boots and valley metal are where these roofs usually start leaking.
Escambia
Navy families and older housing stock near the base. We schedule around real shifts.
Escambia
Rolling lots and steeper pitches. Steep work is priced before we start, not discovered on day two.
Escambia
Mature trees over the ridge. We look up at the limbs before we price the shingles.
Escambia
North of town. Houses and metal outbuildings, larger lots, longer driveways for the truck.
Santa Rosa
Across the Three-Mile Bridge. Sound-side houses take wind off the bay and the gulf.
Santa Rosa
Canal and waterfront lots. Fastener and flashing choices are the difference in five years.
Santa Rosa
Mid-century houses and salt air a short ride from Santa Rosa Sound.
Santa Rosa
Between Gulf Breeze and Navarre. A mix of tired roofs and new subdivisions.
Santa Rosa
Metal toward the beach, architectural shingle on the inland streets. We do both.
Santa Rosa
Full coastal exposure. We specify the system for wind-driven rain, not for curb appeal alone.
Santa Rosa
East of Navarre. Growing streets and a lot of first replacements.
Santa Rosa
New subdivisions off the highway. Volume is not a reason to thin the underlayment.
Santa Rosa
Downtown roofs with some age on them, and newer edges out toward the river.
Santa Rosa
Small historic roofs and close neighbors. Careful tear-offs, not a production line.
Estimate
Built from installed prices we see on Escambia and Santa Rosa houses. Deck rot, crane access, and a second layer of shingles are not in here. A written price follows a look at the roof.

The crews have also put time into affordable-housing work with the Home Builders Association and Pensacola Habitat. The same standard applies: dry the house in, leave the site clean, and do not disappear when a leak shows up.
This is not a call center with a Pensacola area code. If you call (850) 457-6737, you get the shop.
Contact
Monday through Thursday hours match the company’s BBB listing. For an active leak after hours, call and leave a message with the address.
