Roof Replacement in Orlando, FL

A new roof is one of the biggest investments you will make in your home, so we keep the process simple and clear:

1. A free roof inspection with photos of the shingles or tiles, flashing, vents, decking and any problem areas.
2. A written estimate that spells out the roofing material, underlayment, flashing and any decking that may need replacing.
3. The permit. If your home is inside Orlando city limits, the permit comes from City of Orlando Permitting Services. If you live in unincorporated Orange County, which includes many homes with an Orlando mailing address in areas such as Dr. Phillips, Conway and Pine Hills, the permit comes from Orange County Building Safety. We look up your address and pull the right one.
4. Tear off down to the roof deck, replacement of damaged wood, and installation of new underlayment, flashing and your new shingle, metal or tile roof to the current Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023).
5. The required inspections, a final walkthrough with you, and the permit and roof documents your insurance company may ask for.

Roof Repair and Leak Repair in Orlando

Many Orlando roofs do not need to be replaced. They need a good repair. The problems we fix most often here include:

• Shingles lifted, creased or torn off by summer storm winds.
• Cracked or slipped concrete and clay tiles, and worn underlayment under tile roofs.
• Cracked pipe boots and vent seals baked by the Florida sun.
• Leaks at wall, chimney and skylight flashing.
• Water ponding on flat and low slope roofs over porches, carports and additions.
• Soft or rotted decking under an old leak.

Florida’s building code generally limits repairs to 25 percent of a roof section in any 12 month period before the whole section has to be replaced. Roofs installed under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later are exempt from that limit, so only the damaged part needs to be fixed. We check which rule applies to your home before we recommend anything.

Orlando Weather Is Hard on Roofs

Orlando roofs deal with more than most. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms with heavy rain, gusty winds and lightning on many days from June into September. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and even a tropical storm passing nearby can lift shingles and drive rain under flashing. Year round heat and strong UV dry out shingles, sealants and pipe boots, and humid, shady roofs grow the dark algae streaks you see across older neighborhoods.

If a storm damages your roof:

• Stay off the roof and away from downed lines and hanging limbs.
• Take photos of the damage you can see from the ground and of any leaks inside.
• Call Home Pros at 407-766-4388. We are available 24/7 and tarp the roof when it is safe to stop more water from getting in, then make a permanent repair.

Older Roofs, Insurance and Citizens Forms in Orlando

Insurance is one of the biggest reasons Orlando homeowners call us. Many get a non renewal letter or a request for a roof inspection once their roof gets older. Under Florida law, an insurer cannot refuse to write or renew a homeowners policy based only on roof age when the roof is less than 15 years old. Once a roof is 15 years or older, the insurer can ask for a roof inspection, and a roof that the inspection shows has at least 5 years of useful life left cannot be refused on age alone.

Insurers may also ask for a 4 point inspection, which covers the roof, electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling, or offer wind mitigation credits based on how the roof is built and attached. A new roof built to the current Florida Building Code can improve the roof answers on a wind mitigation report, so ask your insurance agent what credits apply to you.

As a licensed roofing contractor, Home Pros fills out insurance roof inspection forms, such as the Citizens roof inspection form, and gives you photos and written findings. If your roof has life left, the form shows it. If it is near the end of its life, we tell you plainly and give you a replacement estimate. See our guide to a roof inspection for insurance.

Has your insurance agent asked for a 4 point inspection on an older Orlando home? Our 4 point roof inspection guide for Orlando explains the roof section of the form, the Citizens roof age rules and what to fix before the inspector arrives.

Orlando Neighborhoods We Serve

We work on homes all over Orlando, and every part of town has its own roofing needs:

• College Park, Delaney Park, Thornton Park and Audubon Park: older homes, many built from the 1920s through the 1950s, with big oaks, low eaves and roofs that have been patched over the years. Some downtown area homes sit in City of Orlando historic districts, where exterior work can need city approval, so we check your address before we quote materials.
• Baldwin Park and Lake Nona: newer homes and HOA rules on roof color and material. We give you the product and color details your HOA asks for before work starts.
• Dr. Phillips and MetroWest: lots of concrete tile roofs, where cracked tiles and worn underlayment are the usual leak sources. Dr. Phillips is in unincorporated Orange County, so permits go through the county, while MetroWest is inside the City of Orlando.
• Conway and the lake neighborhoods: many ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1970s with shingle roofs, plus lakefront homes that take more wind. Much of Conway is unincorporated Orange County.

Not sure if your home is in the city or the county? Give us your address and we will tell you which office issues your roof permit.

How to Choose the Best Roofer in Orlando

Whoever you hire, including us, these checks protect you:

• Look up the license on the Florida DBPR website (myfloridalicense.com). A roofer should hold a Florida roofing or general contractor license in the company’s name.
• Make sure the roofer pulls the permit in their own name with the City of Orlando or Orange County.
• Get a written estimate that lists the material, underlayment, flashing and how damaged decking is priced.
• Choose a company with a real local address and a phone number that someone answers.
• Be careful with anyone who knocks after a storm and pushes you to sign right away or to hand over your insurance claim.
• Ask what the workmanship guarantee covers and get it in writing.
