About Us
Four divisions, one contractor
JKey is a locally owned, family operated contractor with four divisions: roofing, restoration, construction and marine. The divisions matter more than the count. A storm that takes a roof off usually also puts water in the building, and the rebuild afterwards is construction work. Those are three trades and, for most owners, three separate companies to chase.
The business has worked in the construction industry for over 20 years and runs from offices in Monroe, Georgia, Gainesville, Florida, and Raleigh, North Carolina, holding Georgia license RLQA004595, Florida roofing license CCC1335303 and Florida restoration license CGC1541870, with over 50 years of combined expertise across the team.

The JKey mission
We strive to restore, build, and protect the homes, businesses, and waterfront properties of our community. From storm damage repairs to custom-built marine structures, we ensure every project meets the highest standards of durability, safety, and excellence.
Day to day, that is less dramatic than it sounds. It means turning up when the roof is off and the forecast changes. It means telling an owner the decking underneath is sound and the job is smaller than they feared. Mostly it means finishing the joins properly on the parts nobody sees again once the drywall goes up.
Why four divisions under one contractor
The argument is not that a bigger company is better. It is that the expensive failures in this trade happen at the seams between trades, and those seams disappear when one contractor owns both sides.
An addition is the clearest example. The new roof has to tie into the existing one, and that tie-in is a roofing detail sitting inside a construction project. Handled by a framing crew, it becomes a valley that traps water. Handled by the roofing division of the same company, it is just roofing.
Water damage works the same way. Mitigation dries the structure, and then somebody has to put the building back. When drying and rebuilding are two companies, the handover is where scope gets lost and where a wall gets closed over a cavity that was never verified dry. And on the lake, a boat house roof is a roof: fully exposed, no shelter, protecting something valuable directly underneath. It gets built as roofing work rather than as a cover.
Where we work, and what each office does
Monroe, Georgia is the flagship. All four divisions run from there, covering Walton County and the surrounding area, and the marine division works the north Georgia lakes including Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair.
Gainesville, Florida covers roofing and restoration across Alachua County and north central Florida, under Florida roofing license CCC1335303 and Florida restoration license CGC1541870. Florida roofing carries its own code requirements around fastening and secondary water barriers, which is a large part of why that office exists rather than being served from Georgia.
Raleigh, North Carolina is the smallest office and sells roofing and siding. It is deliberately not described here as doing everything the other two do, because it does not.
How the work happens
6 stagesFrequently Asked Questions
Are you licensed and insured?
JKey holds Georgia license RLQA004595, Florida roofing license CCC1335303 and Florida restoration license CGC1541870, and all three numbers appear in the footer of every page on this site so you can check them against the state registers. Insurance certificates are available on request for any project.
What areas do you serve?
Monroe, Georgia and the surrounding Walton County area, plus the north Georgia lakes for marine work. Gainesville and Alachua County in north central Florida. Raleigh in North Carolina. If you are near the edge of one of those areas it is worth asking rather than assuming.
Do all four divisions work everywhere?
No, and it is worth being straight about that. Monroe runs all four. Gainesville covers roofing and restoration. Raleigh sells roofing and siding. The marine division works the Georgia lakes.
Do I deal with one point of contact across divisions?
That is the practical reason the divisions sit in one company. A project that starts as a roof claim and turns into a restoration and a rebuild does not become three separate relationships with three separate schedules.
How long has JKey been working?
Over 20 years in the construction industry, with more than 50 years of combined expertise across the team. The individual divisions have been added over that time rather than all starting at once.
