Roofing — Florida Code, Orlando Licensed

A full roof replacement in Orlando and Orange County ranges from $15,000 for a smaller home with architectural shingles to $65,000+ for a large home with standing seam metal or concrete tile. The biggest variables are roof size (square footage), pitch, material selection, and deck condition. We inspect the roof before quoting and include a realistic deck repair allowance — not zero — in the written scope.

Yes — always. All re-roofing in Orange County or the City of Orlando requires a building permit, and an inspector must view the nailing pattern before the roof is completed. Without a permit, your homeowner's insurance may not cover a claim, and you must disclose the unpermitted work when you sell. We pull and close every permit as part of the standard scope. It's not optional.

Architectural asphalt shingles offer the best value — Florida high-wind rated, 25–30 year lifespan, and widely accepted by insurers. Standing seam metal is the most durable option (40–50 years) and provides the best insurance premium discounts. Concrete tile is popular in newer Lake Nona and Windermere communities and fits HOA requirements. We help you choose based on budget, HOA requirements, and insurance situation — not commission.

We document the damage with photos before any demo, provide a written scope that matches the claim line by line, and can meet with your adjuster on-site. We don't submit inflated supplements for work that wasn't in the original approved scope, and we don't start insurance work without a written authorization. If the adjuster's scope needs revision, we negotiate with documentation — not pressure tactics.

A full shingle replacement on a typical Orange County home (2,000–3,000 sq ft) typically takes 1–3 days for the physical work. Add 1–2 weeks for permit processing before we can start, and 3–5 days for the final inspection after completion. We provide a full project timeline in writing so you know exactly what to expect — including the inspection window.

Likely yes — especially for metal roofing. Citizens Property Insurance and most private carriers offer significant discounts for roofs with high wind-resistance ratings. We provide a Florida Certification Form at project close-out documenting the roof system, wind rating, and installation method — the form your insurer needs to apply any discount. Some clients have seen meaningful premium reductions after a new metal roof.
