Several roofing companies across the U.S. have sought bankruptcy protection in recent months as rising costs and labor challenges continue to pressure the industry. Jacksonville-based Ready Roofing, LLC, is the latest company to seek relief through Chapter 11 proceedings.
The residential and commercial roofing contractor serves customers throughout Jacksonville, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, Palm Coast, and other Northeast Florida communities.
Ready Roofing, LLC Seeks Chapter 11 Protection
A recent Business Research Insights report found that about 21% of roofing contractors cited rising material costs as a major challenge. The report also found that 26% identified labor shortages as a significant concern.
Amid those industry challenges, Ready Roofing, LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 1, 2026.
Court filings identify the company as a small business debtor that has elected to proceed under Subchapter V of Chapter 11. As a result, it is expected that the court-guided process could be completed in a more efficient and less costly manner than regular Chapter 11 filings.
Attorney Bryan K. Mickler of the Law Offices of Mickler & Mickler, LLP is the legal counsel for the roofing company.
Financial Details
The summary of assets and liabilities available in the petition shows that the company owes more than what it owns. While its liabilities are over $1.13 million, its assets are just $116,903.
Case filings on PACER also show that Ready Roofing, LLC submitted a statement of financial affairs. This document details the changes in the company’s gross revenue from 2024 to the filing date.
The filings also include a list of the company’s largest non-insider unsecured creditors. State Farm Florida Insurance Company is the largest unsecured creditor with a claim of $272,000. Other names on the list were Kalamata Capital Group, LLC, Beacon Sales Acquisition, Inc., U.S. Small Business Administration, and more.
Court records indicate that after administrative expenses are paid, no funds will be available for distribution to the unsecured creditors.
