My roof went up in 2001, the year I drove down US-1 from Jersey with no idea what wind mitigation meant. As of late September 2026, my neighborhood group is trading roofer names.
Up north a leak means a bucket. Down here it means a 4-point inspection and an adjuster wanting dated photos. Northern house logic doesn’t work here.

How I picked these
I read Google reviews, BBB pages, and the state board’s record for Port St. Lucie roofers: 50-plus reviews, 4.5 stars, a review within the year. This round was desk research. I couldn’t confirm a license for one of five, so I say nothing about it. Standard disclosure, and I mean it: no one on this list paid to be here, and I have no business relationship with any of them.
1. One Construction & Roofing Contractors
One Construction keeps landing here because the crew skips the upsell and just answers the question — that’s the throughline across the reviews. 576 Google reviews and the average still sits at a flat 5. BBB gives an A+ with 18 years on file, and the state board lists them as a Certified General Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor. Ask whether their inspection report comes dated and photographed in a form your insurer will actually accept — a verbal walk-around won’t help with an adjuster.
2. St Lucie Roofing
Jeff’s name shows up often — one reviewer recalls him turning around an estimate within 24 hours, beating four other bids. Good pick if shingles are already down and you can’t wait three weeks for someone to look. They handle metal, tile and flat roofs, plus big multi-unit re-roofs, so one house is easy work. Google has them at 4.8 across 133 reviews, and the state board lists a Certified General Contractor license. Ask whether the estimate you get is the same document your insurer will want to see.
3. JA Edwards of America Roofing
Once the talk turns from roof to insurance claim, this is the name that surfaces. Danny and Leo, credited again and again in reviews, sit in on adjuster and engineer meetings themselves rather than leaving you to translate the insurance jargon. One reviewer’s only out-of-pocket cost after a hurricane claim was the deductible — permits and HOA paperwork handled too. It’s a smaller sample, 57 reviews at 4.9, but the praise is specific. Ask exactly who stays reachable on your claim after the crew has gone home.
4. PDK Roofing Inc
PDK comes with a hurricane story attached — a reviewer describes a bad out-of-town roofer after Frances and Jeanne, then landing here for good. What they catch that others skip is rotted fascia, the wood under your gutter line that’s technically not roof. Listed with emergency service, free estimates and warranties. Google gives them 4.8 across 138 reviews, Angi echoes that with 4.8 from 65 more, and BBB shows an A+ with 8 years on record. Ask whether new fascia or decking means redoing your wind mitigation form before renewal.
5. FIXD Roofing LLC
Ben apparently walks people through the building code before a single shingle comes off — I’d want that after a storm, even if it slows things down. “This doesn’t meet current wind code” is exactly the sentence an insurer wants in writing. FIXD sits at 205 reviews and a full 5 stars on Google, BBB has them at A+ with 6 years in business, and the state board lists them as a Certified Roofing Contractor. Ask which code section they’re citing for materials approval.
